Rider changes

2022 BSB champion Bradley Ray has returned to the series to ride for Raceways Yamaha as their solo driver. This return comes after two years on the international stage in the Superbike World Championship. Conversly, Ryan Vickers has left BSB after six seasons to join Motocorsa Racing for the 2025 Superbike World Championship.[2] After two seasons with BMW, Josh Brookes has switched to Honda, riding for DAO Racing. After missing most of his 2024 season return, Rory Skinner has also switched from BMW to ride for Cheshire Mouldings Ducati.[3]
