Ryde, Irwin Share BSB Oulton Park Wins
K
yle Ryde (OMG Grilla Yamaha
Racing) was the big victor in
round nine of the 2024 British
Superbike Championship at Oul-
ton Park, taking two wins from
three starts to close to within
six points of title leader Tommy
Bridewell (Honda Racing UK).
In race one, Josh Brookes
(FHO BMW) initially led, but he
was overtaken by Glenn Irwin
(Hager PBM Ducati) on lap three.
Ryde, Brookes and Charlie Nes
-
bitt (MasterMac Honda) formed
a close lead group until Nesbitt
crashed on lap five.
Ryde faced a brief setback
when his dash cover came loose,
but he quickly recovered and,
along with Lee Jackson (Mas
-
terMac Honda), caught up to
Irwin and Brookes. Ryde passed
Brookes on lap 15 and then
overtook Irwin to claim victory.
Jackson finished third, pushing
Brookes to fourth.
Race two ran in sodden condi
-
tions and saw Irwin return to the
winner's circle after putting a
hard pass on Haslam on the final
lap, which caused the former
WorldSBK winner to run off the
track. He would eventually sur
-
vive for third place, letting Danny
Kent (McCams Yamaha) through
for second.
Ryde made amends in
race three. Again, run in wet
conditions, the Yamaha man
triumphed with a 5.9-second
advantage over Bridewell with
Storm Stacey (LKQ Euro Car
Parts Kawasaki) taking third.
The title race has Bridewell on
334 to Ryde's 328 and Irwin third
on 289.
