Kyle Ryde claimed victory in Race 2 of the ZYN British Superbike Championship at Donington Park, Castle Donington on 3 October 2026, securing maximum points at the tenth round of the season. Ryde, riding for Nitrous Competitions Racing, crossed the line in a time of 18:10.831, with Scott Redding of Hager PBM Ducati finishing 0.283 seconds adrift in second place. Ryan Vickers completed the podium for Honda Racing UK, a further 1.596 seconds behind Redding.

Ryde took his second victory of the weekend following a close battle with title rival Redding, demonstrating consistent pace throughout the sprint race distance. The margin between the two at the flag was a slender 0.283 seconds, underlining the competitive nature of the contest between the pair. Vickers held third throughout the closing stages to secure Honda Racing UK a podium finish, ending 1.879 seconds behind the race winner. The result extends Ryde’s championship lead over Redding to 78 points, with Redding’s second-place finish nonetheless sufficient to guarantee that the 2026 riders’ title battle will carry over to the final round of the season at Brands Hatch.

Bradley Ray brought his McAMS Yamaha home in fourth position, finishing just 0.113 seconds behind Vickers and narrowly missing out on a podium place. The AJN Steelstock Bimota pairing of Max Cook and Joe Talbot delivered a notable team result, Cook taking fifth in a time of 18:13.373 and Talbot following him home in sixth, 2.959 seconds further back. Lee Jackson secured seventh for DAO Racing Honda, with Nitrous Competitions Racing’s Glenn Irwin eighth, 9.440 seconds off the race winner’s pace. Danny Kent of Cheshire Mouldings Yamaha and Jason O’Halloran of Honda Racing UK rounded out the top ten.

The result represents a significant moment in Ryde’s 2026 campaign, with the Nitrous Competitions Racing rider now holding a 78-point advantage at the head of the championship standings as the season enters its concluding phase. Redding’s runner-up finish ensures the title fight remains alive heading into the final round, but Ryde will carry considerable momentum into that decider. The championship now moves to its final round at Brands Hatch, where the destination of the 2026 ZYN British Superbike title will be determined.
