Max Cook enters his fourth season in the British Superbike Championship with momentum, belief, and a point to prove. After topping the first official test of the year aboard the new Bimota package, confidence in the camp is at an all-time high and with the Grand National just won by ‘I Am Maximus,’ you can’t help but wonder… is this Max’s year?
With full factory backing from Bimota and guidance from World Superbike race winner Alex Lowes, the pieces are finally falling into place. The question is no longer if Max can fight at the front but whether he can go full circle and emulate his mentor by lifting the 2026 British Superbike crown.
In this episode, we dive into the mindset, the machinery, and the moment that could define a career. Is everything aligning for a breakout season?
