Overview

• Kyle Ryde arrives at Brands Hatch 30 points clear of Bradley Ray with three races to settle the British Superbike title.
• Ray’s route to the crown likely demands wins across the weekend and at least one non‑podium for Ryde, with a victory worth up to 36 points.
• Ryde says the finale feels “completely different” to 2024 and plans to manage the races strategically to protect his advantage.
• Ray describes himself as relaxed after taking a win and a second at Oulton Park and approaches his home round focused on maximizing results.
• This year’s decider is viewed as unlikely to be winner‑takes‑all, unlike Ryde’s season‑ending duel with Tommy Bridewell last year.
