Ryan Vickers claimed his seventh win of the season at Brands Hatch and extended OMG GRILLA Yamaha's unbeaten run to six.

After claiming a hat-trick of wins at Brands Hatch Ryan Vickers arrived at Thruxton in great form. Vickers qualified just off the front row and started the first race from fourth on the grid. In Race One Vickers finished runner-up to his team-mate, Kyle Ryde.

However, on Sunday there was no stopping Vickers. The OMG GRILLA Yamaha rider took victory in Race Two and Three, claiming his seventh win of the 2024 season. After the races on Sunday Vickers was ecstatic with his weekend in Hampshire:

“It’s been a strong weekend for us and the OMG GRILLA Yamaha Team," Vickers said. "It was always going to be difficult starting 15th in what was planned to be a ten-lap race, but it’s even harder to go from 15th to 1st in six laps!"

"I’m really happy with how I rode in that race, I attacked in the right places at the right time and managed to pick up a handful of positions each lap and eventually took the lead when Max Cook had a moment ahead. The last lap I just pushed, hit my markers and brought it home."

For the final race, Vickers left many fans with their hearts in their mouths. The 25-year-old had a moment at the final corner on the last lap. Despite the moment, which Vickers has described as 'looking worse than what it was', he capped off a great weekend for himself and his team.

"The final race of the weekend didn’t actually go to my plan because I hit the front early on. I could see Billy was quick but it maybe wasn’t coming quite as easy. I got by and just chipped the laps off. Had a bit of a moment on the final corner, but it’s all good and I’m delighted to take the lucky number seven R1 to a seventh win of 2024. I’m now looking forward to continuing this form on to Cadwell Park over the Bank Holiday weekend.”
