Kyle Ryde and the Nitrous Competitions Racing squad have control of the British Superbike Championship heading to Donington Park.

At Cadwell Park, Kyle Ryde gained the lead of the British Superbike Championship for the first time since winning the title in 2024.

The reigning Champion claimed a victory and featured on the podium in both other races across the weekend at Cadwell Park.

Earlier in the season, Ryde finished second in Races One and Two at Donington Park, while his Championship rival claimed victory in all three races.

With four Sprint Races on the cards this weekend, Ryde will have his work cut out to hold back Bradley Ray, who will be searching for redemption.

"I’m very much looking forward to Donington Park because I’ve obviously caught back up, the deficit that Brad [Ray] had," Ryde said.

"It was really unexpected to be in front, so it’s just a bonus. But I have just been doing my job and trying my best, when it’s not been a race-winning opportunity, I’m just trying to get as many points as possible, as you would have seen in the sprint race at Cadwell, and it was just a bonus getting second rather than third.

"The plan I’ve got is obviously doing okay at the minute, I’m riding really good, I feel good on the bike, and we’re working really good as a team, and I’ve got a lot of confidence whatever the weather.

"Four sprint races isn’t going to be easy, but Cadwell Park is never easy either, and we managed to do a good job on the Monday.

"I am looking forward to Donington and I’m looking forward to seeing how many people turn up, I’m already going to buy so many tickets before it’s even started, so thanks to everyone that has already committed to come and watch and support me - I’ll being trying my best!"
