Overview
- Max Cook took pole in qualifying with an official Oulton Park lap record of 1:32.662 on Saturday, showcasing strong one‑lap pace for AJN Steelstock's Bimota.
- Bradley Ray won Race 1 after moving past the lead group late in the race, with Kyle Ryde finishing second and Leon Haslam third.
- Cook suffered a heavy late fall at Cascades on lap 16 and was classified as a DNF, removing a fast contender from the race outcome.
- Kyle Ryde's second place extended his championship total to 268 points, increasing his lead to 24 points over Scott Redding and underlining Ryde's season‑long consistency.
- Practice and qualifying showed session‑to‑session volatility—Ryde set the only 1:32 in FP2, Haslam topped FP3, and rookie Joe Talbot and the Bimotas impressed on single laps—so tyre use and setup look set to shape the rest of the weekend and title fight.
