Overview
- Organisers moved the pre‑qualifying session to Saturday because heavy rain on Friday forced a timetable change that compressed practice and qualifying runs.
- Kyle Ryde converted his strong qualifying into victory in Race 1 and again in the 20‑lap sprint, extending his lead in the standings to 140 points.
- Bradley Ray lost a late challenge in Race 1 after a technical retirement but recovered to finish second to Ryde in the sprint, adding important points for McAMS Yamaha.
- Race 2 was disrupted by an early three‑rider crash and a safety car that affected track order and rider decisions, with several riders crashing or retiring as a result.
- The weekend highlighted Knockhill’s short, tight layout where weather, tyre choice and small incidents swing results and where Ryde’s consistency has given Ducati the clear momentum into the next rounds.
