Trackside Updates
Latest updates from the 2026 season — race weekends, testing days, behind-the-scenes moments, and what’s next on the calendar.
Trackside - April 3rd 2026
As we move into the 2026 season, we’ve made the decision to place a strong focus on the British SuperMoto Championship this year.
Alongside this, we’re really excited to be working with Kove, supporting the development of their new SuperMoto 450MX. Having factory support and the opportunity to be involved in developing a bike is a huge step forward and something I’m looking forward to being part of throughout the season.
SuperMoto is a format I really enjoy. The tracks are dynamic, technical, and demand a lot from both rider and bike, which makes every session a chance to learn and improve.
There are also some exciting opportunities building later in the year, which we’ll be sharing more about soon.
For now, the focus is clear — keep progressing, keep developing, and make the most of every round

Trackside – February 2026
Four Weeks in Spain: Training Camp Begins
On the 15th February, we arrived in Spain after a three-day drive from Scotland, travelling through France and down to the south for a four-week training block.
The plan is simple: five days per week on the bike. We’ve brought three machines for testing — the NSF, a SuperMoto, and a Yamaha R6 — each one helping develop different areas of riding, from corner speed and braking to race pace and bike control.
The reason for travelling to Spain is opportunity. With consistent weather and multiple circuits open throughout the week, tarmac track time is far more accessible than it is in the UK during winter. Riders from across the world train here, including many top Spanish competitors, which raises the level and pushes every session harder.
The first week hasn’t been without challenges. All three bikes have already had mechanical issues — a side of racing most people don’t see. When you’re riding at high speed and pushing machinery to its limits, components wear fast. Development, maintenance, and constant adjustments are part of the process.
Thankfully, my dad carries the unofficial title of Head Mechanic, working behind the scenes to keep everything running and improving each day.
There’s still three weeks of training ahead. I’ll keep you posted on progress, highlights, and what we learn along the way.
