Ryan Vickers claimed victory in Race 3 of the ZYN British Superbike Championship at Cadwell Park, Lincolnshire, on Monday, 31 August 2026, to complete a double triumph at Round 8 of the season. Vickers crossed the line in a race time of 26:02.381, with Bradley Ray finishing a mere 0.176 seconds adrift in second place. Kyle Ryde, who had battled illness throughout the weekend, completed the podium in third, finishing 2.937 seconds behind the race winner.

Vickers made a lightning start from the line to claim the holeshot and thereafter set about constructing a lead, though Ray remained a constant and formidable presence throughout. The Honda Racing UK rider held off intense, non-stop pressure from Ray, who spent the duration of the race on Vickers’ rear wheel yet was ultimately unable to find a way through. The victory represented a double for Honda Racing UK at what the team regards as their home round. Ryde’s podium finish was rendered all the more notable by the physical difficulties he had endured over the course of the weekend. Earlier in the race, Rory Skinner had worked his way into third position and set the fastest lap, before clipping a kerb and sliding out of contention at the Chicane on lap four, ending what had promised to be a significant challenge for the podium places.

Joe Talbot produced a composed performance to secure fourth place, finishing 4.302 seconds behind the winner, while Leon Haslam crossed the line fifth, 7.944 seconds adrift of Vickers. Jason O’Halloran and Christian Iddon completed a closely contested battle for sixth and seventh respectively, separated by just 0.103 seconds at the flag, with O’Halloran taking sixth in a time of 26:14.158. Max Cook rounded out the top eight, finishing 14.315 seconds behind the race winner, with Storm Stacey and Ilya Mikhalchik completing the top ten in ninth and tenth positions respectively.

The result marks a significant moment in Vickers’ 2026 campaign, with the Honda Racing UK rider having now secured two victories at the same round, underlining both his consistency and the competitive strength of his machinery at Cadwell Park. For Honda Racing UK, a double victory at their home round will provide considerable momentum as the ZYN British Superbike Championship moves into its remaining rounds. The championship field will next reconvene at the following round of the series, where Vickers will carry the confidence of a strong weekend’s work into what promises to be a fiercely contested continuation of the season.
