The 2024 British Superbike finale will decide who is crowned Champion, with current leader Kyle Ryde ready to fight for his first British Superbike title.
Kyle Ryde heads to Brands Hatch as the British Superbike Championship leader. The OMG GRILLA Yamaha Racing Team are on the hunt to regain the BSB title after losing it in 2023.
Ryde took the Championship lead off of Tommy Bridewell last time at Donington Park. 'Youth' took a double win at his home circuit to take a slim four-point lead over the reigning Champion.
After previously winning the British GP2, British 125cc and the National Junior Superstock classes Ryde is on the hunt to add a British Superbike title to his name.
Ryde said: “After the great Donington Park I had, it’s a bonus to be leading the championship by a few points. The test at Donington Park was obviously to close back a few points on Tommy and tell him I’m in for a fight, and we did that.
“I am looking forward to Brands Hatch. I had a great Sunday there earlier in the year, not so much the Saturday though! I think it is going to be close, clean racing and a good fight. Hopefully, Ryan can give us a hand as well as he was brilliant there at the last Brands Hatch, so things are looking good!
“It’s the final round and I’m really looking forward to it. My team and I made a big step forward at Brands Hatch in July and since then we’ve been really strong at every round. I’m feeling really good and up for the fight, and I know the feeling with the R1 is good there too.
“I’ve had a win and a few podiums there over the last 12 months so I’m eager to keep that trend going. We know the Yamaha is strong this season at Brands Hatch with Ryan doing the treble, so it’s certainly something to aim at. I’m going to continue doing what I’ve done all year round and hopefully that’ll be enough to leave Brands Hatch as Champion.”
