Kyle Ryde heads up to Knockhill knowing that his weekend in Scotland will most likely not be as easy as last time out at Donington Park, but still has high hopes for a podium.
The LAMI OMG Racing Yamaha rider took two victories from the three races last time out at Round Three of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship (BSB), these were Kyle Ryde's second and third wins of the 2023 season.
Despite winning three races so far this season Ryde is fifth in the Championship standings. However, he is only 10 points off of top spot so a good weekend in Scotland would close the gap to the top of the Championship.

“I don’t think it will be as easy as what it was at Donington Park, that isn’t saying that event was easy, but it was solid and I was working really well with the bike and team and everything was great. Knockhill results last year were not the best, but they were not the worst either, so the point system now is great; solid top five results is what I will be aiming for I think this weekend.
“The biggest target I have had for this year is to get a podium at every track, and some tracks haven’t been my best, so if I can pull some podiums out at Knockhill, Oulton Park and maybe Cadwell Park then it shows that we have made a massive step for this year. Not just with the bike and team but with myself as well.
“A nice little podium and some solid results at Knockhill would go down a treat! I just want to keep this championship on track and on target until we get back to some favourite tracks of mine, like Snetterton that suit the Yamaha and Donington Park where we know I can be really fast.”
