Overview
- The championship moves to Brands Hatch for the fifth round on 17–19 July with Ryde leading the standings by 17 points.
- Ryde has finished on the podium in every race so far this season and has eight wins from 12 races, a run that underpins his lead.
- At Snetterton Ryde was penaltyed after a first‑corner incident with Bradley Ray but recovered to win the final race and keep his points margin.
- Ducati riders have won all 12 races this year, while Bradley Ray is the top non‑Ducati rider and sits 61 points behind Ryde as he runs a special 30 Years of BSB livery at Brands Hatch.
- Brands Hatch has been decisive for Ryde before, including the 2024 title decider, and the three‑race weekend format gives rivals multiple chances to close the gap or let Ryde extend his lead.
