Kyle Ryde will be bidding to extend his reign at Cadwell Park for the next round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship over the August Bank Holiday weekend (August 23/24/25), as last year’s King of the Mountain lines up ready for the fight.
Ryde did the double in 2024 on his way to title glory and the Nitrous Competitions Racing Yamaha rider is once again heading into the weekend’s action bidding to close down standings leader Bradley Ray. The defending champion gained points on his Raceways Yamaha rival last time out, and after another race victory at Thruxton, he is determined to add more to his tally in Lincolnshire.
Ryde said: “The weekend at Thruxton was very good; the objective was to catch Brad in the championship, which we did. Unfortunately, in the last race, I had some good speed but a pass that was just unfortunate from Danny at the last corner, meant I went back to eighth and had to play catch up. All the hard work that I had done in the first 14 laps was all gone, so I did well to get back to fourth and didn’t lose that many points. I think I could have had the pace for three trophies but all in all it was a good weekend and we showed good speed from Friday onwards. I am happy going to Cadwell Park.
“Cadwell was a great weekend for me last year, won one of the best trophies I have ever got, won the races and I am looking forward to it. Brad is going to be fast there, he always has been, so it will be hard but we will be working hard and let the battle commence!”
