Ryde Rules Cadwell Park BSB
O
MG Grilla Yamaha's Kyle
Ryde had a productive week-
end, August 24-26, at round eight
of the Bennetts British Superbike
Championship at Cadwell Park.
Ryde won two of the three fea-
tured races.
On Saturday for race one,
Ryde finished 0.791 of a second
ahead of Lee Jackson, on the
MasterMac Honda. The two had
some breathing room over third-
place Charlie Nesbitt, Jackson's
teammate, who was three sec
-
onds back.
Honda Racing UK's Tommy
Bridewell was fourth and Hager
PBM Ducati's Glenn Irwin was
fifth, the two finishing within
two-tenths of a second of one
another.
"I carried as much consis
-
tency as I could throughout the
race. At one point I thought that
my lap timer and dashboard had
got stuck as I kept doing the
same lap time!
"I'm buzzing really, after
getting second twice last year,
I think I deserved a win," Ryde
said. "It feels surreal. I didn't
think I'd be on the podium after
Friday night, I was so far behind,
it was a bit scary. But I made
a big step in qualifying, which
put me on the front row, and
with Ryan [Vickers] and Tommy
[Bridewell] not really setting a
lap time, I knew I had to try and
make the most of it and get as
many points back as possible.
But after the start to the week
-
end, I'm over the moon just to
be [standing] here talking to you,
the win is just a massive bonus."
Following Sunday's bank
holiday, racing resumed Monday,
August 26, for races two and
three.
