Scott Redding fought to the finish in the ZYN British Superbike Championship title fight in race two at Brands Hatch. The Hager PBM Racing Team rider battled with title rival Kyle Ryde for the victory, but ultimately despite the Hager PBM Racing Team rider taking the win, the Nitrous Coin Nitrous Competitions Racing team celebrated their title defence.
Redding launched off the line into the lead from Ryde and Ryan Vickers, but the defending champion was attacking, despite only needing to finish inside the top five to secure his record-breaking third title. He grabbed the lead at Paddock Hill Bend on lap two, with Redding instantly pushing to retaliate at Druids.
The Hager PBM Racing Team rider was piling on the pressure, before making another move back on Ryde at Surtees with a decisive move down the inside. Ryde again retaliated taking the lead at Hawthorns at half race distance.
Ryde was holding off Redding but then he again went for a move with a bullish pass at Stirlings, which was the race-winning overtake as the reigning champion dropped to third behind Bradley Ray. However, after an incredible campaign, Ryde celebrated the title victory, to retain his number one plate.
