Kyle Ryde delivered a double win in the ZYN British Superbike Championship in the final race of the weekend at Oulton Park, holding off Scott Redding to take the victory as Bradley Ray completed the podium.
Ray got a lightning start from the Omologato Pole Position to lead Redding and Ryde into Old Hall for the first time, as Max Cook made a move on Ryan Vickers for fourth place on the second lap.
There was an early crash out of the race for Glenn Irwin on the second Nitrous Coin Nitrous Competitions Racing Ducati at Hislops on lap two, and at the front Redding grabbed the lead with a move on Ray at Old all a lap later.
Redding was then holding the advantage at the front of the field, but behind Ryde was pushing Ray and he made a decisive move down the inside at Old Hall on lap five.
Leon Haslam meanwhile was also working his way through the pack as he bounced back from his race two crash and by lap six he was up to sixth place with a move on Vickers at Shell Oils corner.
Danny Kent’s race ended prematurely when he crashed the Cheshire Mouldings Yamaha at Old Hall, whilst Christian Iddon also crashed at the same place three laps later.
At the front, Redding was holding the advantage until the Hager PBM Racing Team rider had a small moment at Hislops and that gave Ryde the momentum into Knickerbrook to strike and take the lead.
Ryde was then holding off Redding with Ray in third place to the chequered flag, whilst behind Vickers was able to battle off Haslam and Cook over the final four laps of the race.
Rory Skinner bounced back from his race two crash to take seventh place ahead of Storm Stacey and Ilya Mikhalchik with Lee Jackson completing the top ten.
