Kyle Ryde Strengthens BSB Lead With Two Wins At Oulton Park

Two wins at Oulton Park increased his championship margin to 30 points through recovery rides and decisive passes after safety-car restarts.

Overview

  • Ryde won both the sprint and the final race at Oulton Park, overcoming poor starts to take the sprint on a late pass and the final race to record his 12th win of the season.
  • His Sunday double moved Ryde to 304 championship points, leaving Scott Redding as his closest rival on 274 and widening the gap that shapes the title fight.
  • Max Cook set a new official Oulton Park lap record of 1:32.662 to take pole but crashed at high speed in Race 1 and scored no points from that result.
  • Bradley Ray opened the weekend with Saturday’s Race 1 victory and completed the meeting with three podiums, underlining consistent race pace for McAMS Yamaha.
  • Race outcomes were reshaped by incidents including Josh Brookes’s crash at Druids that brought out the safety car in the sprint and a late Cascades fall for Cook, and AJN Steelstock rookie Joe Talbot impressed with strong qualifying and top-six finishes.
