2026 British Superbikes: Oulton Park - Race Results (3)

The final BSB race of the Bank Holiday weekend at Oulton Park saw Kyle Ryde take a clean sweep of wins at the opening round of the championship.

This was the first race not to see Nitrous Coin Nitrous Competitions rider Ryde start on pole, that honour went to Bradley Ray after setting the fastest lap while chasing behind in the sprint.

The McAMS Yamaha rider got a perfect start and lead until lap ten, when Leon Haslam made his move in Island bend.

The Moto Rapido was the lead Ducati for just two laps, when Ryde, who again dropped to fourth at the start, but this time from third on the grid, came flying through at the start of lap 12 at the first corner, Old Hall, after passing Ray the lap before.

After another attack for the lead from Haslam on lap fifteen, Ryde made his move. sitting back on the number 1 bike had allowed him to save tyre, so Ryde could power away again, completing a dominant trio of wins, this time by 1.162s.

It is the first time Ryde has completed a treble at Oulton Park, and the second of his career, the first coming at Donington Park, the home of the next round.

Behind, Haslam tried to hold on and was able to have that one last pass before having to settle for second, while the podium remained the same - as Ray also picked up his third time in third to complete the podium.

Still making alterations after the sighting laps, Scott Redding remained in the lead group this time out, but was just off the rostrum for PBM Ducati, finishing fourth.

Glenn Irwin was looking happier with his Nitrous bike on the grid and although he initially dropped from tenth to 12th on the first lap, this time the Northern Irish rider was able to rally, cutting through the field for a positive finish to his weekend, in fifth.

Rory Skinner was next to the finish for Cheshire Mouldings Yamaha, just ahead of top bimota Max Cook, who was also on the comeback trail after running wide and dropping to 12th early in the race.

Ryan Vickers was again the top Honda, in a distant seventh.

The returning rider passed Storm Stacey who had resumed riding with Redding for much of the race, dropping back to ninth at the chequered flag.

Christian Iddon completed the top 10 for Sencat Racing.

Lee Jackson was on the tail of Iddon at the line, having survived an early check from race direction after his DAO Racing bike sat up Andrew Irwin, sending him off line, with all the riders around him needing to take evasive action.

The remining points on offer went to Cheshire Mouldings rider Danny Kent in 13th, top rookie Joe Talbot in 14th for bimota, with Josh Brookes 15th on the second DAO Racing bike.
