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

The final race of the second BSB visit to Oulton Park for round six, saw Kyle Ryde come through from another slow start to collect his second win of the day, and 12th of the season.

From pole the Nitrous Coin Nitrous Competitions rider lost out, with Bradley Ray getting the holeshot and Scott Redding then flying under to lead the opening laps.

That early movement left Ryde third, but not for long - with-an overtake on Ray on lap five at the start of the lap taking the reigning champion to second.

The championship leader then sat in behind until lap 10, where a small issue for Redding ahead was noted by Ryde, pouncing on the opportunity and passing the PBM bike to hit the front.  

A constant gap, helped by Redding putting in a fastest lap to stay in touch, was demolished in the closing stages, with the number 1 bike pulling the pin to win over the line by 1.274s.

Fellow Ducati rider Redding was a clear second after the top three splintered, with early leader Ray picking up a third rostrum visit with third for MCAMS Yamaha at the home round for the team.

The battle for fourth had been between a fired up Leon Haslam and Max Cook after they dropped Ryan Vickers, only for the Honda rider to get a second wind and fly past the duo in quick succession for a second fourth place in two races for the ever improving Honda Racing UK package.

Moto Rapido Ducati rider Haslam got the better of Cook for fifth, with the AJN Steelstock bimota rider eventually gapped, leaving him sixth.

Rory Skinner put on a big charge through the pack mid-way in the race to be the best of the rest in seventh for Cheshire Mouldings Yamaha, wit the next gap on track too far ahead after burning through tyre to reach seventh.

The four way fight for eighth was next to see he chequered flag. Storm Stacey did the best he could on his repaired Bathams AJN Ducati to pull ahead on the final lap for the position, with rookie Ilya Mikhalchik on the ROKiT BMW taking both DAO Racing bikes soon after for ninth, his best finish to date.

Lee Jackson was the best of the team-mates in 10th with Josh Brookes, back in business after his huge crash in the sprint, 11th.

Fraser Rogers was a lonely 12th for TAG Honda, with the remaining points from race 3 going to rookie Rhys Irwin in 13th for MasterMac Honda, 14th placed TAG Honda rider Charlie Nesbitt and Richard Kerr in 15th for SM Racing.
