Overview
- Ryde took pole in Saturday qualifying and set a new outright Thruxton BSB lap record of 1'14.530 on his Ducati during the same session.
- The opening race was declared at the end of lap 16 on Saturday after Max Cook crashed on the pit straight, with Ryde leading at the time and credited with the win.
- Rory Skinner finished second and Ryan Vickers third in Race 1, giving both riders their first podiums of the 2026 season and showing renewed Yamaha and Honda competitiveness.
- Max Cook was taken to hospital after his crash and did not take part in Sunday running, and the Sunday warm-up was later red-flagged when Richard Kerr crashed and was removed by ambulance.
- The result moved Ryde to 322 points and increased his cushion over Scott Redding, while Ducati’s win ended a run of Yamaha dominance at Thruxton dating back to 2019.
