Kyle Ryde’s unbelievable 2026 British Superbike Championship campaign continued in Race Three at Oulton Park as the reigning champion secured his 12 th victory of the year.
Ryde, who also won Race Two , once again got the better of Bradley Ray and Scott Redding after making a sluggish start to the race from pole position.
It’s Ryde’s fifth victory at Oulton Park in the last six races, and the Nitrous Coin Nitrous Competitions Racing Ducati rider is now 30 points clear of Redding in the championship.
Redding finished second and must now be thinking what he has to do to defeat Ryde. It is however a vast improvement on Redding’s first outing at Oulton Park earlier this year when he failed to make it onto the podium.
Ray completed the podium for McAMS Yamaha , again unable to match the dominating 2026 Ducati V4 R .
Ryan Vickers finished fourth for the fifth time this season ahead of Leon Haslam, with Max Cook completing the top six.
Rory Skinner was seventh for Cheshire Mouldings Yamaha, with Storm Stacey coming out on top in a four-rider scrap for eighth. Ilya Mikhalchik beat DAO Racing duo Lee Jackson and Josh Brookes to finish ninth.
Fraser Rogers, Rhys Irwin, Charlie Nesbitt and Richard Kerr claimed the final points on offer this weekend.
Brayden Elliott returned to pit-lane at the end of the opening lap and retired from the race, whilst Glenn Irwin crashed at Hizzys on lap two.
Danny Kent crashed on the exit of turn one on the fourth lap. The Cheshire Mouldings Yamaha rider missed Race Two earlier in the day due to an engine fault.
Christian Iddon was the next rider to crash at turn one on lap seven. Iddon was seen in some discomfort in the aftermath of the crash, and was later taken to the medical centre for a check-up.
Jason O’Halloran retired from seventh due to an issue with his Honda Racing UK Fireblade on lap eight.
Joe Talbot returned to the AJN Steelstock Bimota garage at the end of lap 14 after suffering with a bike issue for several laps.
