2025 British Superbike Round 11 Results

Cycle News Staff | October 20, 2025

Kyle Ryde is the first rider since 2017 to successfully defend the Bennetts British Superbike Championship title at Brands Hatch on October 18-19 after clinching his second consecutive victory with the Nitrous Competitions Racing Yamaha team.

After a consistent start with seven podium finishes, Ryde’s first win of the season came at Brands Hatch in the summer. He then picked up momentum in the second half, securing wins at Thruxton and Cadwell Park, and achieved his first career treble during his home race at Donington Park.

Ryde made just one visit to the podium during the opening Showdown round at TT Circuit Assen before another top-three result in the penultimate round of the season at Oulton Park as part of a weekend of top-five finishes.

Bradley Ray’s advantage over Ryde stood at 52 points after the Knockhill round, but the reigning champion continually closed the gap to his Raceways Yamaha rival after that. It wasn’t until the seventh round at Cadwell Park where Ryde finally moved ahead, by a slender two points.

Ryde arrived at the final round 30 points clear of Ray, with both targeting title number two. And Ray duly made early inroads at his home circuit by finishing ahead of Ryde in Saturday’s opening race. The duo swapped positions, with Ryde taking second from Ray in third in the penultimate race of the year.

This set up a final race decider with Ray needing to overcome a 30-point deficit. Ray gave himself a chance by finishing second, but Ryde produced a composed performance to cross the line in sixth in the wet, which was enough to wrap the title up by 20 points.CN
