CADWELL PARK | EPISODE THREE 🏁

The heat races are complete ane we’ve got our grid set for tomorrow’s main event.

Bobby Varey took victory in Heat Race One after a brilliantly controlled race, while Nikki Coates put in a fantastic performance and provided some great racing along the way. Josh Corner was also right in the mix, fighting his way into a podium position.

Unfortunately, Christian Smith went down during the opening heat, a tough moment in what has been a hugely competitive championship. Hopefully, it won’t prove too costly as the season progresses. 🤞

Heat Race Two belonged to Barry Burrell, who once again showed exactly why he is the rider to beat, taking victory by a sizeable margin. An impressive performance as always.

Behind Barry, Kieran Smith had a relatively lonely race in second, while the battle for third provided plenty of action between Dale Thomas, Kenny McLeod and Jack Tynan, three riders giving absolutely everything until the flag.

Some fantastic performances across both heats, plenty of battles throughout the field and now everything comes down to tomorrow.

The front two rows have been decided, see how they line up here ➡️ Bobby Varey (Pole) Kieran Smith (2nd) Barry Burrell (3rd) Nikki Coates (4th) Dale Thomas (5th) Josh Corner (6th)

We’ll be back tomorrow with more insights and all the action from Cadwell Park. 🏁

Big News 🇩🇪

We are delighted to announce that James Ellison will be joining the European Baggers Championship grid for Round 3 at the Nürburgring next weekend.

James will be riding alongside Ruben Xaus, who expertly runs the outfit, as the team takes on the legendary German circuit for what promises to be an exciting weekend of racing!

And it doesn’t stop there…

James will also return for the final round of the championship at Jerez, taking on two very different circuits and another opportunity to experience the ever growing world of Bagger racing.

From MotoGP and BSB to 2026’s European Baggers Championship, another chapter begins.

Nürburgring. Jerez. Let’s go 🇩🇪🇪🇸

CADWELL PARK | EPISODE TWO 🏁

Qualifying is done and what a session it was.

Bobby Varey stole the show with a fantastic performance to take P1 and pole position for his heat race tomorrow, while Kenny McLeod put in an equally impressive lap to secure P2. Dave Grace also delivered a brilliant performance, with plenty of strong runs throughout the field.

The Smith brothers were once again right amongst the front runners, while Barry Burrell continued his strong weekend with another competitive session. Fair play too to Jack Tynan, who backed up his Free Practice pace with another top ten performance.

A special mention to Gary Cutts, who unfortunately came off during the session. He was one of several riders to have a moment in the challenging conditions, but it’s fantastic to see Gary back on the grid this weekend after the serious injuries he suffered at Snetterton. We’re hoping he’s okay. 🤞

Now, all eyes turn to tomorrow’s heat races. An early start for the BMWs and with conditions expected to keep everyone guessing, it should be a brilliant day of racing.

We’ll be up bright and early bringing you all the action.

And one more thing… 6PM. 👀
Stay tuned for a very special announcement.

CADWELL PARK | EPISODE ONE

Session One has been completed for the BMW’s and James Ellison runs us through the opening F900 action at Cadwell Park.

With varied track conditions and a few greasy spots catching riders out, Barry Burrell ( ) was straight to the front, a reflection of the preparation and focus he brings to every session.

A huge shoutout this weekend to Jack Tynan ( ), who continues to make an incredible comeback after the serious back injury he suffered here last year. From the brink to fighting at the sharp end of the 2026 championship, the BMW’s bring out the best stories. 👏

Dale Thomas ( )is another rider making serious progress, continuing to impress after stepping into the F900s, while Liam Vella ( )rounded out the top 10 just behind Josh Corner. ()

And, as ever, the Smith brothers ( & ) were right at the sharp end, setting the pace and keeping Barry honest with Gary Walton / Not So Fast Rider Coach ( ) playing a huge role in their progression this season.

James also reflects on his first encounter with Dale at Brands Hatch… let’s just say the introduction came with a little jump scare. 😂

🎥 Session One: DEBRIEF watch here for this and more!
