Kyle Ryde now has more victories in 2026 than he did in the entire 2025 British Superbike Championship season after securing victory in Race Two at Knockhill.
Ryde took the lead back from Scott Redding midway through the opening lap and, in a carbon copy of Saturday’s race , held position for the remainder despite pressure from Bradley Ray.
It’s Ryde’s seventh victory of the season, which is one more than he accumulated in his second title-winning campaign last year . With Redding coming home behind Ray in third, Ryde now holds a 25-point advantage in the standings.
