Round six of the 2025 British Superbike Championship at the incredibly fast Thruxton showed once again why many consider the BSB the top national superbike series interantionally, with three thrilling races over the August 9-10 weekend.
For former Moto3 World Champion Danny Kent (McAMS Yamaha), the Thruxton weekend was his best of 2025 so far, as he took races two and three held on Sunday. His largest winning margin came in race three as he took the flag by 0.196 of a second ahead of Bradley Ray (Raceways Yamaha) and Christian Iddon (AJN Steelstock Kawasaki). Kent’s margin in race two was a scant 0.097 of a second ahead of current BSB number one Kyle Ryde (Nitrous Competitions Racing Yamaha) and Ray.
Ryde would earlier claim race one by 0.179 of a second from Kent and AJN Steelstock Kawasaki’s Max Cook, the latter surviving a hair-raising moment when the front wheel of his Kawasaki touched Ryde’s rear wheel while leaning over at 170 mph.
“This weekend has been a dream come true for the team and [me],” Kent said after race three. “Our success stems from a strong Friday, where we worked so hard on endurance and making the tire last, which has paid off massively in the weekend’s races.
“What an amazing weekend it’s been for me and McAMS Racing; we’ve moved up to third in the championship standings, which is a great result for myself, the team and for Yamaha. We’ll keep working and come back strong next time out.”
The points have Ray still leading the way as the series reaches the halfway point on 260 ahead of Ryde’s 243 and Kent’s 170. CN
