BSB Talent Cup: American Raymond Jr in Top 10

© 2025, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc. From a press release issued By Raymond SR / posted by Mathilde Gasnier

Raymond Jr finishes 7th, 11th, and 9th after a weekend filled with mechanical issues.

It was a weekend with 40 mph winds, 50 degree Fahrenheit temps and on/off rain all weekend.

FP2- the engine was overheating since lap 1. Turns out we had a bad engine.

Qualifying- Josh had to run in the new engine. He ended up qualifying with a great position of p7 on the grid.

Race 1- It was a wet race. It was a battle the entire race. Josh ended up finishing in 7th.

Race 2- Dry race. Starting 5th on the grid. Every time Josh would downshift hard the bike would hit a false neutral. He was blowing corners and almost running of the track. He stayed out because he knew he still had to try to run a fast lap to get the best grid position for race 3.

Race 3- Dry race. Starting from 11th. The team worked hard to fix the bike and all though it was better, Jr was still getting false neutrals. Josh kept his head down and was able to fight for p9.

Raymond SR- “We were dealt some really bad luck all weekend, Josh kept his head down and rode his butt off. The whole team was proud of the way he rode under the circumstances.”

“Since Josh is not U.k. Citizen we can not do track days in England. So Josh can not test at the track any other time besides a race weekend. It’s a bit of an extra hill to climb, especially when something goes wrong. Luckily Josh is on a great team that never gives up.”
