2025 British Superbikes: Snetterton - Race Results (3)

 The final British Superbikes race at Snetterton saw Bradley Ray once again out front to complete consecutive triple wins at Snetterton, building on his three wins last time out at Donington Park.

For the third race the Raceways Yamaha was on pole, and again Ray aced the start to pull out an advantage.

Behind, Kyle Ryde had made serious improvements and was able to keep Ray honest with similar pace, but could not eat int the early gap he created, allowing Ray to lead over the line by 1.678s.

The win completes a perfect Snetterton weekend for Ray, topping every session he was in and picking up the Race of Aces trophy for collecting the most points over the meeting.

It is the first time in British Superbikes that any rider has done a double triple, having also won all three races at round two, Donington Park. Ray also won all three races at Snetterton on his last visit to the track, in 2022.

Behind Ryde was happy with the changes to his OMG Nitrous Competitions bike, allowing him to apply some pressure to Ray on his way to finish on the podium in second in a Yamaha 1-2.

The rostrum spot went to Leon Haslam after a three way battle for position.

The Moto Rapido rider had started fifth and was quick to get into a battle for position with first Tommy Bridewell for fourth before Rory Skinner became entangled from third.

Haslam and the Honda swapped position several times over the closing laps, with the Ducati fast down the straights, while Bridewell leaned into the strength of the Honda through corners, especially his preferred overtaking move - building from the Bomb Hole to Corams.

The final lap saw Haslam hold firm the pull in tight around the final corner to claim his third podium finish of the season.

That left Bridewell fourth and Skinner fifth for Cheshire Mouldings Ducati.

Behind Josh Brookes had risen to sixth and was powering on, bringing Danny Kent and Max Cook along for the ride, with the group gaining on the trio ahead as they lost ground fighting for the podium.

Time ran out with them still just out of touch, leaving Brookes sixth for DAO Racing, Danny Kent a much improved seventh for McAMS Yamaha, with Max Cook last of the bunch in eighth, the top Kawasaki in race three for AJN Steelstock.

Storm Stacey made late gains on his Bathams BMW for ninth, with Charlie Nesbitt recovering from his early drop down to twelfth to claim a top ten finish for MasterMac Honda, just ahead of AJN Steelstock Kawasaki rider Christian Iddon, heading in the wrong direction over the sixteen laps to eleventh.

Fraser Rogers won the next battle to the chequered flag, keeping Lee Jackson’s DAO Honda behind aboard the TAG Honda for twelfth..

John McPhee was back in the points in 14th after his race long duel with Billy McConnell who took the final point in 15th.
