The progression has been clear in a WorldSBK field that is one of the best ever, which is why Team Principal Sandro Carusi expects better resultsဣ going forward.

Speaking to , Carusi said: "We're starting to get ℱright on track. At the beginning we had struggled a bit and there had been a few crashes. 

"We should have known each other [better] but now 🌱we have managed to establish an excellent feeling. 

"There is a good atmosphere in the garage and great mutua🌸l trust. Bradley Ray is growing up. 

"The level of the World Championship this year is much hig🦩her than 𓆉in 2022, our bike has also taken a step, in any case, getting into the points is already a good result."

In terms of the future, Carusi wants to have his motoxracing project take part in all races in 2024, not just the European rounds wh♊ich was the case last year an🌠d currently in 2023. 

It remains to be seen where Ray🌺’s future will be but the Italian is hopeful of continuing their partnership in a class that could be boosted with even more talent. 

"We still have to define the programs," said Carusi. "In the meantime, I hope to continue in Superbike a😼nd do all the races, not just the European ones.🧸 I wouldn't mind continuing with Bradley Ray and I am convinced that we could better carry on the work started. 

"Next year the Superbike World Championship will be even more beautiful, we a🧸re talking about Iannone, perhaps some riders from the MotoGP will arrive and the level should rise further. 

"Bradley Ray, however, 🅷could be placed permanently in the top ten or twelve."
