2024 British Superbike Round 10 Results
Cycle News Staff | October 1, 2024
Kyle Ryde (OMG Grilla Yamaha Racing) will go into the final round of the 2024 British Superbike Championship at Brands Hatch with a four-point lead over defending champion Tommy Bridewell (Honda Racing UK) after picking up two wins out of three at the penultimate round of the series at Donington Park.
Three closely fought encounters had Ryde victorious by two seconds in race one over Bridewell and Glenn Irwin (Hager PBM Ducati).
Race two saw Irwin hit back to get back into championship contention with a two-tenths of a second win over Bridewell and Ryde. However, Ryde would not be denied in race three, heading home Danny Kent (McCams Racing Yamaha) and teammate Ryan Vickers, with Irwin fourth and Bridewell dropping to fifth.
“I was disappointed with third this morning because I came so close, and I actually got to the lead at one point,” Ryde said after race three. “It just shows how far we’ve come throughout the season, to be annoyed at a third place!
“I made amends in the last race, started sixth and chipped a few people off into Melbourne [hairpin corner]. And when I got to the front, I tried to do a lap time which would kind of break the people, but Glenn kept passing me at the end of the back straight and made it hard work. I used that much rear tire to keep him behind me.
“When I actually got the gap and Danny was behind me, I thought I was in trouble. I just basically won that race by being faster through the chicane and the last two corners, so I’m glad to win. The championship lead is obviously a big bonus ahead of Brands Hatch.”
The final round of the series will be at Brands Hatch on October 13, with Ryde on 398, Bridewell on 394 and Irwin on 352. Brands Hatch is a double-points paying round, with 105 points up for grabs, so Irwin could still win it. CN
