Scott Redding claimed victory for Hager PBM Ducati in Race 2 of Round 11 of the 2026 British Superbike Championship at Kent’s Brands Hatch on Sunday, 18 October 2026, bringing the curtain down on the season at the West Kingsdown circuit. Bradley Ray of McAMS Yamaha crossed the line in second place, with Kyle Ryde of Nitrous Competitions Racing completing the podium in third — a result that proved far more significant than its position alone suggested.

Redding led the field to a final time of 17:04.591, with Ray finishing 1.224 seconds adrift and Ryde a further 0.794 seconds back in third. The race unfolded as an intense contest at the front, with Redding ultimately holding firm against the challenge of both Ray and Ryde. Despite taking the race win, it was Ryde’s podium finish that defined the afternoon: by securing third place, the Nitrous Competitions Racing rider accumulated an unassailable points advantage to clinch the 2026 British Superbike Championship title — his third consecutive crown. Ryde made history in doing so, becoming the first rider to win back-to-back championships on two different manufacturers, having switched from Yamaha to Ducati ahead of the current campaign. Leon Haslam of Moto Rapido Ducati Racing finished fourth, separated from Ryde by a mere 0.045 seconds, with Ryan Vickers of Honda Racing UK rounding out the top five just 0.106 seconds further back.

The midfield produced a notable performance from Max Cook, who brought his AJN Steelstock Bimota home in sixth place, with team-mate Joe Talbot following closely in seventh, the pair separated by just over one second. Rory Skinner of Cheshire Mouldings Yamaha took eighth, with Christian Iddon of Sencat Racing Yamaha and Danny Kent, also of Cheshire Mouldings Yamaha, completing the top ten. Kent crossed the line 6.406 seconds behind the race winner, rounding off a competitive afternoon for the Cheshire Mouldings Yamaha outfit.

The victory represents a significant result for Redding and Hager PBM Ducati, who secured the final race win of the 2026 season in commanding fashion at Brands Hatch. For Ryde and Nitrous Competitions Racing, however, the afternoon carried far greater weight, with the championship title confirmed in front of the crowd at the West Kingsdown venue. The achievement of three consecutive titles — and the historic distinction of winning successive championships on different manufacturers — marks a landmark moment for the team. Attention will now turn to what the off-season holds ahead of the next British Superbike campaign.
