Ryde leads Redding and Ray in title chase to Brands Hatch

12 July 2026

Defending champion Kyle Ryde leads the ZYN British Superbike Championship title standings to Brands Hatch next weekend (July 17/18/19) as the Nitrous Coin Nitrous Competitions Racing rider aims to stay ahead of closest challengers Scott Redding and Bradley Ray.

Ryde has been impressive as he continues his second title defence; scoring podiums in each of the 12 races so far, but Snetterton proved to be a challenging start for the double title-winner before ending the weekend with victory.

Ryde said: “We are heading to Brands Hatch with a great podium record of being on the podium in all 12 races so far, so a big credit to the Nitrous Coin Nitrous Competitions Racing team for keeping it together and everything working well.

“I am looking forward to Brands Hatch; I rode there a couple of weeks ago on my 250 and the RC30 and had a lot of fun, so I am very much looking forward to it. I can’t wait to really see what the V4 R is going to be like around the Grand Prix circuit, but it has felt good at the track so far, it started difficult at Snetterton but came good in the end.

“We go there still with the championship lead and obviously the main contenders are one hundred percent be Scott and Brad, so it should be some great racing. I am looking forward to getting started.”
