The reigning British Superbike Champion continues to target Bradley Ray as the series heads to Cadwell Park.

Kyle Ryde arrives at Cadwell Park as the reigning King of the Mountain and is on a run of strong form after the previous two British Superbike Rounds.

Last time out at Thruxton, Ryde won the opening race of the weekend before finishing in second and fourth in Races Two and Three.

Ryde is now aiming to continue closing in on Bradley Ray at the top of the British Superbike standings.

"The weekend at Thruxton was very good; the objective was to catch Brad in the championship, which we did," Ray said.

"Unfortunately, in the last race, I had some good speed but a pass that was just unfortunate from Danny at the last corner, meant I went back to eighth and had to play catch up.

"All the hard work that I had done in the first 14 laps was all gone, so I did well to get back to fourth and didn’t lose that many points.

"I think I could have had the pace for three trophies but all in all it was a good weekend and we showed good speed from Friday onwards. I am happy going to Cadwell Park.

"Cadwell was a great weekend for me last year, won one of the best trophies I have ever got, won the races and I am looking forward to it.

"Brad is going to be fast there, he always has been, so it will be hard but we will be working hard and let the battle commence!"

Kyle Ryde closed in the gap to Bradley Ray at Thruxton, and heading into Round Seven, he is second in the British Superbike Championship, and is 26 points behind his former teammate.
