At this bank holiday weekend’s Bennetts British Superbikes opening round, 20-year-old young gun Bradley Ray shook up the established stars by taking his first double on the Buildbase Suzuki GSX-R1000R.

With weather warnings altering the schedule and track conditions treacherous, Ray made the most of the tricky conditions and dominated both races, leaving race-watchers wondering if we were witnessing the start of something special.

So what do you reckon? Is Bradley Ray the real deal or just the bravest rider prepared to push the limits the furthest in horrible conditions? Vote below.
