00:00:00Hello there, welcome to our 2025 Bennett's British Superbike Season Review here at Brands Hatch.
00:00:28The scene of course of the season finale. We stood here 12 months ago thinking that there was no way it could outdo the title deciding round of 2023 but Kyle Ryde and Tommy Bridewell had other ideas.
00:00:46Oh it's done! Oh it's championship is done! It's all out war here on the final day at Brands. Tommy rattles back the championship lead!
00:00:56It all comes down to this. And here comes the move from Tommy. What are we watching here? They touch! They touch!
00:01:07Big rear wheel movement there from Bridewell but it's Bridewell from the reigning champ!
00:01:16This is last corner stood up for the championship. Last corner!
00:01:20It's going to be a run to the line! Bridewell's rear goes! Kyle Ryde is the BSB champ for 2024!
00:01:27God, I've worked so hard for that. Yeah, I don't know how many passes were made in that race but I thought we were enjoying it.
00:01:36What a final race. What we'll be talking about for many years to come. You are the champion on BSB.
00:01:42Despite securing the number one plate for 2025, it was far from a straightforward off-season for Kyle Ryde who was set to continue with OMG Yamaha alongside 2022 champion Brad Ray back from World Superbikes and young rookie Joe Talbot.
00:02:08But just weeks before the season got underway, it was announced that the team would be unable to compete in 2025, leaving two of the main players without a ride.
00:02:18Thankfully, Steve Rogers came to the rescue and relaunched his old Raceway's Yamaha team to provide a seat for Brad, whilst Nitrous competitions came in to salvage OMG Yamaha as a one-rider team with Ryde.
00:02:30Glenn Irwin would remain with PBM Ducati after being in the mix for the last two seasons, whilst Tommy Bridewell was hoping to go one better than the previous year aboard his Honda.
00:02:40Rory Skinner returned with Cheshire Mouldings but this time riding a Ducati and another ex-Grand Prix rider appeared on the grid in the shape of John McPhee.
00:02:49Alongside 2015 Moto3 World Champion Danny Kent, it was set to be a star-studded season and it all got underway at Alton Park in May.
00:02:59The biggest crowd at Alton Park for over a decade and they're all here to see Bennett's British Superbikes.
00:03:18It's eyes on the lights.
00:03:21BSB is go.
00:03:24What a standing start first lap of Brad Ray.
00:03:27He is sending out a message here.
00:03:31Max Cook is challenging the reigning champion.
00:03:33Oh!
00:03:33He's down there with Shell Oil!
00:03:37Glenn Irwin through on Storm Stacey.
00:03:40Glenn Irwin arguably here could still be on for a podium.
00:03:43Now Leon Hasler pounces.
00:03:47Glenn's going to try and set something up here over the number one play hammer.
00:03:51There you go.
00:03:52Storm Stacey now goes through on Kyle Ryde.
00:03:57Here comes Glenn.
00:03:59Glenn, true.
00:04:00Into second.
00:04:02Brad is back in business.
00:04:04Ray wins the opening race.
00:04:07No one could get close to him.
00:04:09The smiles are back.
00:04:12Brad Ray with a whole shot once more.
00:04:14They're going to have to get busy soon if they want to keep Brad Ray inside.
00:04:20Nice move from Leon Haslam.
00:04:22At number 91, he moves up into second place.
00:04:26Glenn Irwin.
00:04:27That was bold.
00:04:28And he gets through, but he's wide.
00:04:31Fox Stacey not giving an inch.
00:04:33And Kyle Ryde goes through to third place.
00:04:37It's Haslam versus Ray.
00:04:40A proper ding-dong battle in here at Alton Park.
00:04:44Full commitment.
00:04:45And now he goes up the inside into Old Hall Corner.
00:04:48He's rolling back the years here.
00:04:53It's Haslam.
00:04:54It's Ray.
00:04:55It's Glenn.
00:04:56Glenn Irwin.
00:04:57Up the inside of Brad Ray for second.
00:04:58But they're not going to be close enough for Haslam.
00:05:00But Leon Haslam is a BSB race winner again.
00:05:08Leon Haslam, he's back.
00:05:11We've got a championship on our hands.
00:05:13Brilliant stuff.
00:05:14Tragically, only two of the planned three BSB racers would run at Alton
00:05:26after a catastrophic accident during the opening lap of Sunday's Supersport feature race.
00:05:32It claimed the lives of two riders, Owen Jenner and Shane Richardson,
00:05:36to whom the paddock paid tribute ahead of round two at Donington Park.
00:05:44The race winner, Jay Richardson.
00:06:06A smooth, cool, ten-second victory for Kiwi's Shane Richardson.
00:06:24Well done, boy.
00:06:25What delight it is for Owen Jenner to be crowned as the 2023 Pirelli National Junior Superstock
00:06:45champion.
00:06:46With a win and a third place apiece at Alton Park, Brad Ray and Leon Haslam arrived at Donington
00:07:09tied on points still at the top of the standings.
00:07:12But it was Ray who took the upper hand in qualifying.
00:07:15Shaving two tenths off the existing lap record, Brad secured pole position with Leon heading
00:07:20up the second row in fourth.
00:07:25This is Donington Park.
00:07:27A sunny day for Bennett's BSB in 2025.
00:07:33Good start from pole position for Bradley Ray.
00:07:36Kyle Rad in the second place down his own body.
00:07:38Brad Ray and he's up the inside of him now.
00:07:40He comes Brad up the inside in the fog.
00:07:44Yes, it's nice and clean.
00:07:48Oh, is there a move coming here?
00:07:49There is from Kyle Rydes.
00:07:53The lunge down in.
00:07:54Oh, and Clenow over is deep as well.
00:07:55And he's left his lines here and he's going to lose a couple of spots.
00:08:00They engage.
00:08:01That's not going to work.
00:08:04Ray will take charge of the British Superbike Championship.
00:08:07He wins from Kyle Rydes.
00:08:10It's all guns blazing in this one.
00:08:12Here comes Glen.
00:08:13That is exactly how he's got to ride that bike.
00:08:16Oh, Brad's not having any of it.
00:08:18But he's not going to be able to outbrake Irwin.
00:08:21Oh, he's gone wide though.
00:08:23So it's Irwin versus Brad Ray.
00:08:25Glen Irwin is hungry to find a way through.
00:08:31And he's going to go through here at the Foggy Esses.
00:08:34Oh, he's gone.
00:08:35He's gone straight on.
00:08:36He's had to pick the bike up.
00:08:37I think he's done.
00:08:39Brad Ray wins the sprint race and increases his advantage at the top of the standings.
00:08:44The BSB.
00:08:46He's going to be a hard man to stop this year.
00:08:48What a start from the championship leader.
00:08:53We're about to find out whether Brad's got anything left in this fight.
00:08:58Glen's coming.
00:09:00Here comes the move.
00:09:01It went wrong earlier, but he's going to have another go.
00:09:03It's take two for Glen, but he's not close enough.
00:09:05Oh, that's costing.
00:09:07And that might be it.
00:09:10Brad Ray will secure the treble here at Donington Park.
00:09:15Boy, oh boy, did Brad Ray have to work hard to hold on to that.
00:09:19His second treble of his career, Brad Ray, is so good to have him back.
00:09:30It looks on paper that it's been easy to get the wins.
00:09:34But honestly, especially Donington, Donington was, I wasn't expecting to go there and get three wins.
00:09:42I knew it would be strong, but I knew from testing, Glen was strong, Kyle was strong.
00:09:46So for me, I was just aiming for podiums and obviously try and fight for the win as much as possible.
00:09:55But we made a good direction with the bike, especially after Alton.
00:09:59We actually didn't change anything on the bike on the weekend at Donington, rode the same bike.
00:10:05And I think that was important for me to keep building up the mileage because obviously we haven't had a lot of testing,
00:10:11haven't had a lot of bike time on the VSB bike.
00:10:13I'm feeling good, feeling fit, feeling happy.
00:10:18And that to me is the most important.
00:10:21I need to just carry on what I'm doing, try and win as many races as I can at the start of the year
00:10:25and try and do the best job possible.
00:10:28But maybe when we start getting to the last three rounds, when the points get bigger,
00:10:33then it might be a different sort of mindset and a different look at the championship.
00:10:39But as of now, if you think about the championship too much and you have a DNF,
00:10:45then it throws you off completely and you're worried about the championship already.
00:10:48When, to be honest, it hasn't even really started yet.
00:10:52So for me, it's just turn up, do the best job, try and win the races and go home.
00:10:59That triple was enough to put Brad 12 points clear of Glenn Irwin at the top of the standings.
00:11:09Leon Haslam dropping to fourth, just one point behind Kyle Ryde,
00:11:13with Rory Skinner fifth and Danny Kent down in seventh.
00:11:20Next up was Snetterton and with two wins there in 2024,
00:11:24Glenn Irwin was hoping that this could be the round that he took a grip on the championship lead.
00:11:28It wasn't to be, though. Stick around after the break to find out why.
00:11:35Welcome back to our look back at the 2025 Bennetts British Superbike Championship.
00:11:40Snetterton was the venue for round three,
00:11:42where Glenn Irwin was hoping to cut down the championship lead held by Bradley Ray.
00:11:47Unfortunately, though, Glenn suffered a massive high side during free practice three on Saturday morning,
00:11:53and that left him with a fractured sacrum in his back
00:11:56and ruled him out for the foreseeable future.
00:11:59In his absence, Brad Ray took pole by almost half a second
00:12:02and carried that momentum into the rest of the weekend.
00:12:07Welcome to Snetterton in Norfolk.
00:12:10It's round three of Bennett's BSB.
00:12:13Can they stop Brad Ray, who starts from pole position?
00:12:17We're underway.
00:12:22Good start from Brad Ray.
00:12:26Tommy Bridewell going up the inside of Rory Skinner into Wilson again,
00:12:29but this time making it stick.
00:12:31That's a 46.5 now for Bradley Ray.
00:12:34What a lap.
00:12:37Oh, a big crash in the background there.
00:12:39That is Lee Jackson, and he's involved with Andy Irwin.
00:12:44Rory Skinner is out.
00:12:45Oh, it's a mechanical for him.
00:12:47He's fourth at the moment.
00:12:48Well, he was.
00:12:51He raised.
00:12:52Remarkable run continues here.
00:12:55He smokes them once more.
00:12:57And away they go,
00:13:01and another rocket start for Brad Ray.
00:13:06Oh, Brad Ray has gone too deep.
00:13:08Yeah, he couldn't stop that, couldn't, Kyle.
00:13:11No way.
00:13:15That was nice.
00:13:16That's about as clean as you can expect.
00:13:20Oh, and Kyle Ray, battle back.
00:13:24Kyle Ray's now gone wide.
00:13:25And through goes Rory Skinner.
00:13:27The lunge is coming.
00:13:31He's coming through,
00:13:32but he's not been able to get through on the cutback.
00:13:34Bradley Ray is going to win.
00:13:38Oh, that's a photo finish for third.
00:13:40It's going well.
00:13:41Brunwell pinched it from Kyle Ray.
00:13:44Raceways, ray of light.
00:13:45Brad has done it again.
00:13:49Oh, that was ambitious.
00:13:51It was ambitious,
00:13:51and he was looking to back out of that, to be honest.
00:13:54Leon Haslam is going for two and one.
00:13:57Tommy Bridewell.
00:14:01Oh, he was looking.
00:14:04Boy!
00:14:06Tommy Bridewell.
00:14:08That was inventive, and it was great.
00:14:11Yeah, now a mistake from Tommy.
00:14:14Imperious, invincible.
00:14:15We're running out of words for Brad Ray.
00:14:19The first ever double treble in British Superbike history.
00:14:22He cleans up.
00:14:23That's net.
00:14:24If you're one of his rivals, you've got your work out for the rest of the season.
00:14:29It's been unbelievable.
00:14:33I didn't expect to be walking away with a triple.
00:14:36I knew it would be strong coming into this weekend.
00:14:39A lot of people said,
00:14:40do you feel the pressure of coming back and trying to replicate the triple in 22?
00:14:45But I just wanted to carry on the work that we've done at Donington.
00:14:49But yeah, to walk away with three trophies, three wins, fastest lap,
00:14:53and the new race lap record.
00:14:55Yeah, it's been special.
00:14:56So it was turning into a dominant start to the season for Brad Ray.
00:15:02That double treble putting him 30 points clear of Kyle Ryde in the standings,
00:15:06with Leon Haslam in third and Glenn Irwin slipping back to fourth.
00:15:10That meant that Irwin was tied on points with Scotsman Rory Skinner,
00:15:14who'd be looking to do well as the paddock headed north of the border to Knock Hill.
00:15:19With Glenn Irwin on the long road to recovery now,
00:15:22it was announced that 2019 BSP champion
00:15:24and current World Superbike rider Scott Reddin would fill in for him at Hager PBM Ducati.
00:15:30The Knock Hill circuit is a far cry from anything on the World Superbike calendar,
00:15:35but the Ducati man was looking forward to the challenge.
00:15:39Scott, firstly, good to have you back.
00:15:42Yeah, it's been open arms welcome, which is quite nice.
00:15:46Straight to Knock Hill from Rizano is quite different.
00:15:48That's a bit of a shock.
00:15:49And it's been raining.
00:15:50I had my shorts on.
00:15:52Realised that ain't going to work.
00:15:53How did it come about?
00:15:54What's the...
00:15:55I mean, obviously, it came about because of Glenn's accident, but...
00:15:59Yeah, obviously, unfortunately, Glenn had quite a nasty crash.
00:16:03And then we got a bit of a phone call, I think, as did many others, what to do.
00:16:06And I said, I'd be happy to go and have a blast, you know, like Knock Hill.
00:16:11It's a track that's quite characteristic.
00:16:14How many times are you going to be riding it?
00:16:16Can you say anything about it?
00:16:17Uh, Knock Hill.
00:16:18At the moment, that's what we're looking at.
00:16:20And obviously, we've got Donington Park and then a few Clash.
00:16:22So we need to see further down the line what is happening.
00:16:25But as of now, just Knock Hill, ride it and try and enjoy it.
00:16:29It's round four of Bennett's BSB.
00:16:35A 30-lap battle coming your way.
00:16:39And away we go.
00:16:41Good start from Kyle Ride and from Rory Skinner away from the line.
00:16:44Brad Ray does not get the start he wants.
00:16:46It's P1 for Kyle Ride.
00:16:50Oh, that's Christian Liddin, I think.
00:16:52Yeah, it is.
00:16:53He's gone down.
00:16:53That's Christian.
00:16:56Oh, hang on.
00:16:59He had some good drive through the chicane there and he sits up Kyle Ride.
00:17:05A lunge there from Kyle Ride.
00:17:06He will run slightly wide, but will he hold it?
00:17:08Yes, he will.
00:17:09Nice.
00:17:11Rory Skinner has got the inside line.
00:17:14And Brad Ray knew he was coming.
00:17:16Yeah, he did.
00:17:19Rory Skinner thinking about the move.
00:17:22Yep, yep.
00:17:23He's going through and he sits up Kyle Slater.
00:17:25He holds his line wonderfully.
00:17:26Scott Redding goes through on Storm Stacey, number four on the Hager PBM Ducati.
00:17:35Brad Ray, who makes his move on Rory Skinner and shoves him wide.
00:17:40And Kyle Ride comes through as well.
00:17:41Reasonably harsh, that.
00:17:44It's domination in British Superbikes at the moment for the 2022 champion.
00:17:48Brad Ray takes glory.
00:17:51It is win number eight of the 2025 season.
00:17:57Pretty ominous that.
00:17:58It was at will.
00:17:59That is seven on the bounce for Brad.
00:18:08Brad Ray didn't have it all his own way in race one, but conditions were very different
00:18:12when they lined up for BSB race two and the first wet race of 2025.
00:18:18It will be Brad Ray from pole that leads them through turn one.
00:18:22Ray got the whole shot into turn one and no one could catch him after that.
00:18:26Storm Stacey briefly held second, but eventually would be passed by Rory Skinner
00:18:31before Tommy Bridewell then went and nicked ahead of him to steal the last step of the podium in third.
00:18:37That win for Brad meant that he won eight in a row and nine out of the first ten of the season,
00:18:42matching the record held by his mentor, Shaky Byrne.
00:18:45He'd also start race three from pole position, but breathing down his neck was Rory Skinner in second.
00:18:52Three times Rory had to get the jump on Brad as the race was red flagged, not once, but twice.
00:18:57He pushed his way through again on the third start and the Scotsman was unchallenged all the way to the line,
00:19:03taking his first win of the season and interrupting an almost perfect run from Brad Ray.
00:19:10Home is where the heart is. Rory Skinner wins here at Not Kill.
00:19:17Winning at Not Kill for me is always something that I strive to do.
00:19:21It's my home track. I'm from 25 minutes north up the road.
00:19:24And it's, yeah, with all my friends and family there, it was a good thing to do.
00:19:29And, yeah, you know, to have been able to stop Brad Ray on his winning streak is certainly a special feeling.
00:19:34You know, it was somebody who had to do it at some point.
00:19:36And, yeah, I'm glad I managed to get it done.
00:19:38But it was nice. It was nice to be at Not Kill.
00:19:41Nice to be on the podium in all three races and just to have a bit of consistency.
00:19:44Four podiums in the last five races.
00:19:45It's nice to be heading in a direction where we should be consistently at the front.
00:19:49And I think top five is our goal at the minute.
00:19:51You know, it's a long season. There's a lot of races.
00:19:53And until the showdown comes into form, you know, anybody can kind of be in the mix.
00:19:56So as long as we're going to be in the top five in the races and if a podium presents itself,
00:20:01then, you know, we'll push ourselves for that.
00:20:02But it's just a case of learning and adapting as we go.
00:20:05And if we can be at the front end, which I'm sure that the boys will give me a bike that's capable of doing that,
00:20:10then I think we won't have much problem at all.
00:20:12A combination of two wins for Brad Ray and a difficult weekend in the wet for Kyle Ryde
00:20:20meant that Ray now had a 52-point lead in the standings.
00:20:24Rory Skinner moved up to third, tied on points with the only other rider to win a race this season, Leon Haslam,
00:20:30whilst Glenn Irwin's injury meant that he slipped down to eighth, three points behind Danny Kent.
00:20:35There was also the small matter of who'd cover for Glenn when the championship arrived here to Brands Hatch for round five.
00:20:42PBM's former rider, Scott Redding, in theory, was under contract and unavailable due to his World Superbike commitments.
00:20:50In theory. Find out after the break how that one panned out.
00:20:59Round five of the Bennett's British Superbike Championship took place here at iconic Brands Hatch
00:21:04in the height of summer.
00:21:06In Glenn Irwin's absence, Scott Redding had deputised at the previous round,
00:21:10but that looked unlikely for this one because of his World Superbike commitments.
00:21:14That was until he announced that he'd be splitting with his current Bonovo Ducati team
00:21:18to see the season out here in BSB with Hager PBM Ducati.
00:21:24This opportunity came about and it just felt like the right thing to do.
00:21:28And, you know, I had a good race at Donington as well at World Superbikes,
00:21:31but I just still feel like in my heart for me and my rest of my career and my future,
00:21:37this is where I need to be.
00:21:39We want to have Glenn back as soon as possible and looks like he's recovering very well.
00:21:44I do speak to him actually every other day and like kind of check in with him
00:21:48and he says about Brands and like the bike works good here, etc.
00:21:51and can't wait to share the garage with me.
00:21:53So it's quite nice that we've got that, say, friendship.
00:21:56It also helps a little bit, but I'm not sure really on the future what's going to happen.
00:22:00I guess there's going to be two bikes here, hopefully, and yeah, we can do some good racing.
00:22:05What that decision would mean for Glenn Irwin's long-term future with PBM wasn't entirely clear,
00:22:10but Scott vindicated it in the short term by qualifying on the front row for race one.
00:22:16The rest of the front row was made up of BSB champions
00:22:18and they would all play a part in the Brands Hatch weekend.
00:22:21It's round five and, of course, it's Brands Hatch, the spiritual home of Bennett's British Superbikes.
00:22:32And away we go.
00:22:35Brad Ray will get the whole shot from Christian Hiddin.
00:22:37He just continues to ride the crest of a wave and finally on home turf, he has a BSB victory.
00:22:47His tenth of the season.
00:22:49Just special to win a Brands Hatch home round.
00:22:52Beautiful crowd.
00:22:53Yeah, nice to tick that one off the list.
00:22:55It's a super Sunday of bike racing action.
00:22:58And Brands Hatch is looking splendid.
00:23:00Another rocket start for Brad Ray.
00:23:06Whoa!
00:23:08The front had gone and Brad Ray for the first time this season has gone down in a race from the lead.
00:23:18The chequered flag is out.
00:23:20The comeback is always stronger than the setback.
00:23:24Scott Redding wins.
00:23:27Scott Redding, the comeback kid, has won.
00:23:31I knew it was going to be hot, but I didn't realise the pace was going to be that hot.
00:23:34But, you know, I hope Brad's OK from the crash.
00:23:36And I'm really happy to have my first win here back at BSB.
00:23:46He's got a big chance.
00:23:48That's Bray.
00:23:48Through Westfield.
00:23:51Two tight sides for Andrew Irwin.
00:23:54That is massive.
00:23:57Right, he's gone through.
00:23:59Yeah, that's to be expected.
00:24:00He's back to winning ways.
00:24:04It's Kyle style.
00:24:06But the big smile is back on the face of Kyle Ryde.
00:24:10About time.
00:24:11Been knocked over since the last one of the race.
00:24:13At this special place as well.
00:24:14So, yeah, that was a great race.
00:24:15I had a great day.
00:24:15So, a first mistake from Brad Ray in race two, but he still had a lead of 34 points over Kyle
00:24:29Ryde in the championship.
00:24:30With two podium finishes, a resurgent Danny Kent had jumped from seventh to fifth in the standings
00:24:35and was looking strong.
00:24:36All the talk leading up to Thruxton, though, was about Glenn Irwin, who declared himself
00:24:43fit to ride again, although his Hager PBM Ducati team weren't so sure.
00:24:47And with Scott Redding also in place, it looked for a while as though they had more riders than bikes.
00:24:53That was until the announcement was made that Irwin and PBM Ducati will be splitting.
00:24:58Irwin left briefly without a ride before joining up with the Nitrous Competitions Yamaha team.
00:25:03You know, I think it's quite clear.
00:25:07I was maybe things where I was wasn't just ideal, I think, for everyone and starting to have
00:25:12a little look at what was going around.
00:25:14And there was like a little joke, you could ride a Yamaha in Thruxton.
00:25:18I was like, yeah, good one.
00:25:20It wasn't really in the pipeline, but as things obviously developed, you know, every cloud
00:25:27is a silver lining as such.
00:25:28And as it was kind of becoming more and more clear that I wouldn't be racing here with
00:25:33the original plans, this opportunity came to life and it's so, so refreshing.
00:25:42And on his first outing, Glenn was able to qualify the Yamaha in 14th on the grid with
00:25:47his teammate Kyle Ride stealing pole position for race one.
00:25:52The defending champion had been quietly building his form in recent weeks and he was looking
00:25:56for more wins.
00:25:57It's round six of Bennett's British Superbikes for 2025.
00:26:05Halfway through this wonderful championship.
00:26:09And we normally get some box office racing here.
00:26:12Lights out.
00:26:13Good start from Bradley Ray.
00:26:15Number 28 on the raceway, Yamaha.
00:26:17Danny Kent made a great start.
00:26:20It's going to be a Honda 1-2.
00:26:22Tommy Bridewell leads at home here from Charlie Nesbitt.
00:26:24Through the chicane we go.
00:26:27These two know each other incredibly well.
00:26:29They're in year three of PSV.
00:26:31Nesbitt in Kirkland.
00:26:32That's a lovely move.
00:26:36Favour return from Nesbitt.
00:26:37Bit of a wobble from the front end.
00:26:42That was, surely, was that two tyres touching there on the approach to church court?
00:26:45That is so scary.
00:26:48Danny Kent has got to the front now.
00:26:50He was able to put in some serious laps on used tyres yesterday.
00:26:55A move there then.
00:26:56Christian Hiddin up to second ahead of Kyle Rhyme.
00:27:00Oh, here comes Christian.
00:27:01Can he get it stopped?
00:27:02Yes, he can.
00:27:03Runs a little bit wide, but nobody's getting back past him.
00:27:08Now then, on the inside, it's a Kawasaki 1-2.
00:27:10Is he going to get it stopped here, Max?
00:27:12He's run a bit deep and not as deep as Haslam, though.
00:27:15A plan of action for Kyle Rhyme is to lead this race now on the Nitrous Competition Yamaha.
00:27:22Yeah, and I think we will see Kyle have a push at this now.
00:27:27Oh, he's gone again.
00:27:29How has he stayed on to the front and the rear way?
00:27:35Oh, smoke at the tyre, man.
00:27:38Stop it.
00:27:39Stop it.
00:27:40Oh, this entertainment.
00:27:42He deserves the win for this.
00:27:43He's only lost it again.
00:27:45Kyle Rhyme.
00:27:47The champ wins at Truxton ahead of Danny Kent.
00:27:50And Max Cook does see the chequered flag.
00:27:53Wow.
00:27:54What a ride, though, from Kyle.
00:27:55Oh, yeah.
00:27:56That meant that Max Cook would start from pole position in race two, but it was Danny Kent
00:28:05who quickly got to the front.
00:28:07That race was soon red flagged due to a crash between Blaise Baker and standing rider Danny
00:28:12Webb, although thankfully both of them escaped serious injury.
00:28:15On the restart, it looked like Danny Kent had a lot of work to do, but he kept his composure
00:28:21and cut his way through the pack, moving back up from fourth to take the lead on the penultimate
00:28:26lap.
00:28:27He held off the pressure of Ryden Ray to take his first win of the season in race two.
00:28:35Danny Kent wins for the first time in 2025.
00:28:38It was a similar story in race three with Christian Hiddon taking an early lead before Brad Ray
00:28:48was able to get the better of him.
00:28:50Danny Kent had his eyes on the prize, though, and he began making moves once again until the
00:28:55penultimate lap when he took the lead.
00:28:57Danny Kent, he's got a lot of grip, I think.
00:29:00Maybe he's got a bit more grip.
00:29:01Brilliant in corner.
00:29:02Yeah.
00:29:02I think he has, yeah.
00:29:03I think he is the one probably with the single lap pace to do something about Brad Ray.
00:29:08He's going for it.
00:29:09He's going for it.
00:29:10He's got that inside line.
00:29:11Danny Kent then takes the lead on the approach to the chicane.
00:29:14That was always going to be the move on Brad Ray, but he made it stick and I thought
00:29:17that was going to be difficult.
00:29:19Now it's on.
00:29:19Danny Kent, it is, that leads over the line to start the final lap of the race.
00:29:23Is it going to be a double here for Danny?
00:29:25Right.
00:29:26Well, he's gone.
00:29:26And that's reasonably early because it gives everybody else a chance to see what you're
00:29:30doing, get a slipstream, and then you're in the firing line coming into the chicane.
00:29:35Kyle Ryder's done tremendously well to get himself back into potential here.
00:29:38In podium on it, yeah.
00:29:39Charlie Nesbitt's still there as well.
00:29:41Into Seagrave.
00:29:42Right.
00:29:43So what Danny Kent's doing now is just hit your marks.
00:29:45Don't make a mistake.
00:29:46Just be careful with the throttle.
00:29:48Smoke coming off everybody.
00:29:50They're unreal.
00:29:52It's a clean lap so far for Danny Kent.
00:29:55Stretching them.
00:29:57This is where the tyres really get stretched.
00:29:59Yeah.
00:30:00One slide out of church and you're not going to get the drive down the straight and somebody's
00:30:04going to get you into the chicane.
00:30:05And Danny knows that.
00:30:06Here we go then.
00:30:07About to come into church corner.
00:30:08Christian Hiddin in contention as well.
00:30:10It's all on the line.
00:30:11Brad Ray sliding.
00:30:13Danny Kent sliding.
00:30:14So is Christian Hiddin.
00:30:15This is it.
00:30:16The run to the final chicane.
00:30:18Brad Ray's going to move to the inside line and surely have a dive last minute.
00:30:22He does pull up alongside Danny Kent.
00:30:24And when he holds his line, he can't.
00:30:26Danny Kent comes back through.
00:30:27Brad Ray can't stop it.
00:30:28The checkered flag is out.
00:30:30And it's going to be the first ever double for the McCombs Yamaha rider.
00:30:34Danny Kent.
00:30:35What a day he's had.
00:30:36Second place goes to Brad Ray.
00:30:38And Hiddin gets his first podium of the year.
00:30:40Double bubble.
00:30:44Danny Kent.
00:30:45That smile is well and truly back.
00:30:46What a fantastic performance.
00:30:48Yeah.
00:30:48Awesome race.
00:30:50Just sort of set myself in fourth.
00:30:52Trying to.
00:30:52Just trying to work out where I was stronger.
00:30:54And yeah.
00:30:56I just got.
00:30:56Made it.
00:30:57Made the good passes.
00:30:58And then got to first on that final lap.
00:31:00And I knew going into that last chicane.
00:31:01I wanted to break as late as I possibly could.
00:31:03That if someone was to pass me.
00:31:04I thought in my head that there's a good chance that they would run wide.
00:31:07And that's exactly what happened.
00:31:08And he ran a bit wide.
00:31:09And I just opened the throttle a bit.
00:31:12But yeah.
00:31:12What an awesome weekend.
00:31:14Massive thank you to McCombs Racing.
00:31:16From brand.
00:31:17We've.
00:31:18We've.
00:31:20We've.
00:31:21Changed a lot.
00:31:22And.
00:31:22It's been mega.
00:31:23You know.
00:31:24That moves you up to third place in the championship now.
00:31:25For somebody who's been on the back foot for a little while.
00:31:27That must make you really happy.
00:31:28Oh.
00:31:28Really happy.
00:31:29And you know.
00:31:29It's good for Yamaha 1, 2 and 3.
00:31:31So.
00:31:32Yeah.
00:31:32Mega.
00:31:33But perhaps even more importantly.
00:31:35Kyle Ride had halved Brad Ray's lead.
00:31:38Once at 52 points.
00:31:40And now down to just 26.
00:31:42Another mistake from Ray.
00:31:44And Ride would be right back in contention.
00:31:46And the next circuit up was probably the trickiest of the year.
00:31:50Join us after the break.
00:31:51For round seven.
00:31:52From Cadwell Park.
00:31:57For bike fans.
00:31:59It's hard to beat a bank holiday weekend in the sunshine at Cadwell Park.
00:32:02And that's exactly what we had this year.
00:32:04Not only does it always deliver great racing.
00:32:07But also it tends to provide a pivotal round in the championship.
00:32:10And that was certainly the case this season.
00:32:12Having seen his championship lead halved to 26 points.
00:32:16Brad Ray needed to come out swinging in Lincolnshire.
00:32:19And that's exactly what he did.
00:32:20With a dominant performance in Super Bowl.
00:32:25In the blue corner it's Brad Ray.
00:32:27In the red corner it's Kyle Ride.
00:32:29The championship leader versus the champion.
00:32:35And we're on the way.
00:32:36Good start from everyone really on the front row.
00:32:38But Brad Ray has got the best of them.
00:32:41Oh, that's Danny Kent.
00:32:45That's Danny Kent.
00:32:47Such a shame for him.
00:32:51Bridewell has gone down.
00:32:52Oh, what a shame.
00:32:53That is a shame.
00:32:58Oh, that's got it, Nesbitt.
00:33:02He's done that before.
00:33:05This is being bold and brave from Kyle Ride.
00:33:08Oh, and he touches.
00:33:09Oh, I can't believe that.
00:33:10That was so close.
00:33:12Oh, that was a little bit cheeky, wasn't it?
00:33:17Andy Irwin is back on the podium.
00:33:20Leave that.
00:33:24Kyle Ride, is he going to try and create something big here?
00:33:27He's going to have a look.
00:33:28No, he almost runs into the back of Brad Ray.
00:33:32The checkered flag is out.
00:33:34It's a close one.
00:33:35Brad Ray just about holds on against Kyle Ride.
00:33:38You don't try a lot harder than them two boys, do you?
00:33:41Wow.
00:33:45Oh, Brad Ray's gone down.
00:33:47And the gooseneck.
00:33:48The championship leader has gone down.
00:33:51A rare mistake from Bradley Ray.
00:33:53A rare mistake.
00:33:54We start the final lap.
00:33:57Tommy Bridewell leads.
00:34:00Kyle will have a look.
00:34:01And he goes through.
00:34:02And that's lovely from Kyle.
00:34:05But it is Tommy Bridewell.
00:34:07Back to winning ways here at Cadwell Park.
00:34:11That's a bit more like it.
00:34:13Gooseneck.
00:34:16No.
00:34:18Kyle Ride, he's making his move immediately ahead of Andy Irwin.
00:34:24What a weekend it's been for Kyle Ride.
00:34:29He's asked big questions of the championship leader, Bradley Ray.
00:34:34Ride wins here at Cadwell.
00:34:36and we have a new championship leader.
00:34:39What a meeting the lads had.
00:34:43Kyle, looking at the numbers,
00:34:45do you feel like you're coming good at the right time yet again?
00:34:49You could say that.
00:34:50I feel like I've been riding good all year,
00:34:53just a few tracks, no one's fault really.
00:34:57We just probably couldn't get a win when we thought we had the speed to.
00:35:00We've said it at every track, haven't we, at the start of the season.
00:35:03Brad was off like a scolded cat, which he has been at every track.
00:35:06We've just figured something out, not with the bike,
00:35:09but just as a team in general.
00:35:11I've just rode it a lot better initially on Friday
00:35:13and it's just put me in a better position come races.
00:35:17I'm definitely riding a little bit better than what I was at the start,
00:35:20but just trying my best to do the best as possible for each race
00:35:23and take as much points as I can.
00:35:25Brad, you've gone from 52-point lead in the championship
00:35:28to a two-point deficit.
00:35:30What's your thoughts on it?
00:35:32It's been a difficult couple of rounds, for sure.
00:35:36We had a good championship lead at the start of the year.
00:35:39It's fair to say we had a good run at the start
00:35:41and Kyle's had a good run in the middle of the championship.
00:35:46We've had a couple of DNFs and a couple of tricky races,
00:35:50but the outcome and the positive is we've been fast everywhere.
00:35:54We've been one of the fastest, if not the fastest, at every track
00:35:57and that's what we've got to take from it.
00:36:00We've had a good run, Kyle's had a good run
00:36:02and now we're down to a four-round championship.
00:36:05We've got a big advantage.
00:36:06I mean, touch wood, nothing happens to us both
00:36:09and it would be lovely to see it go all the way to Branzach
00:36:13because me and Brad have raced against each other since we were kids
00:36:15and we've never really had this sort of...
00:36:19Proper shootout.
00:36:20Yeah, proper shootout.
00:36:22And I've really enjoyed it up to yet.
00:36:24I mean, even coming second to him a lot of times at the start of the season,
00:36:27with how good he was riding and how much faster the race times was
00:36:30compared to any other BSB season,
00:36:32I'm just proud that I was keeping up in a few and part of it.
00:36:35So I'm really enjoying it at the minute.
00:36:37Catching him at Cadwell and nearly passing him and winning
00:36:39obviously meant a lot.
00:36:41So, yeah, I'm really enjoying it at the minute.
00:36:44What's your relationship like?
00:36:45You've been mates since you were six years old.
00:36:47What's the dynamic like with you?
00:36:49Yeah, good.
00:36:49No, we've got good respect.
00:36:51Like you say, we've been racing each other since we were kids,
00:36:55since we were young nippers
00:36:56and we've always got good respect for each other.
00:36:59But for me, it's the same for everyone.
00:37:01As soon as we're out on track, we're enemies
00:37:02and you want to beat the person in front of you
00:37:06and that's my attitude and we'll shake hands.
00:37:09We'll probably play a game of golf together and have a chat.
00:37:12But, yeah, the goal is to obviously beat him fair and square.
00:37:19So, Kyle Ryde arriving at round eight as the new championship leader
00:37:23but Donington Park was never going to be just a straight fight
00:37:26between him and Brad.
00:37:2817 years on from becoming the youngest ever Grand Prix winner
00:37:31at the same circuit, Scott Redding put together a stunning lap
00:37:35to go fastest in qualifying aboard the Hager PBM Ducati.
00:37:38That meant, of course, that he'd start from pole position
00:37:43for the first of four unique sprint races.
00:37:46Seven rounds down in 2025, four to go,
00:37:56four sprint races to come this weekend
00:37:58and two riders aiming to continue their Titanic title tussle.
00:38:03And we're underway.
00:38:06Good start from Scott Redding.
00:38:07Not too bad from Kyle Ryde off the front row.
00:38:09Rory Skinner mired as we come down towards the first corner.
00:38:12Look at Andrew Irwin going for the outside line
00:38:13on board the Honda and sweeps around.
00:38:17Ryde, though, looking menacing in second place.
00:38:20But it is going to be Scott Redding that leads the way.
00:38:26Oh, someone's down in the background there.
00:38:28Yes, it is.
00:38:28At the Melbourne Loop.
00:38:30It's Charlie Nesbitt.
00:38:30Charlie Nesbitt.
00:38:32Danny Kent slides up the inside of Andy Irwin.
00:38:36Nice move.
00:38:39Oh, he pounces.
00:38:40He runs it a bit deep, though,
00:38:40and Skinner's going to try and retaliate on the exit.
00:38:42It might invite Andy Irwin to the party.
00:38:45Kent is the victor of all of that.
00:38:46He ends up in third place, but does he get it in too hot?
00:38:48He does.
00:38:51Tommy Brivewell is all over the back of Brad Ray
00:38:53and pouncing on him, coming down into the fog.
00:38:54Yes, he's the door now being opened here for Leon Haslam.
00:38:59Has Brad Ray got a problem?
00:39:02He's got some fluid coming out of it.
00:39:03That's going to go bang.
00:39:04He needs a black flag.
00:39:05He needs a black flag quick
00:39:06because that's going to be getting on his back wheel.
00:39:07Yeah.
00:39:08Oh, there we go.
00:39:09Oh, so lucky.
00:39:11He goes down at Redgate.
00:39:12We might see an early red flag.
00:39:15Red flag is out.
00:39:16That will be a result then.
00:39:17What was already a quick one
00:39:18is even quicker
00:39:19and it will be a victory for Scott Redding.
00:39:23That's brilliant.
00:39:24And that was always going to take some beating.
00:39:29Lights are out.
00:39:30Not a bad start then from Kyle Ride.
00:39:31Not bad also from Scott Redding
00:39:33as they drag down towards the first corner.
00:39:34They are side by side.
00:39:35Look at Rory Skinner.
00:39:37Kyle's having a look up the inside.
00:39:39Brave move with that.
00:39:40But that puts Scott back up the inside.
00:39:41Brilliant move from Kyle Ride there.
00:39:43Oh, that just spreaded the needle there.
00:39:50That was a dangerous situation.
00:39:54Oh, that's Billy McConnell.
00:39:55That's Billy McConnell.
00:39:56Yeah, that's down at the final corner, isn't it?
00:39:59Ride versus Redding.
00:40:00Yamaha versus Ducati.
00:40:03And who is going to take victory?
00:40:06Oh, here we go.
00:40:07This is Redding.
00:40:08Can it stop it?
00:40:08I don't think it can stop it.
00:40:10No, that's too deep.
00:40:10And Ride goes back through.
00:40:12Down at the Melbourne Loop.
00:40:14And that's Kyle's.
00:40:18Beautiful.
00:40:19Kyle Ride takes victory in the second race
00:40:21for Benix BSB here at Donington Park.
00:40:24What a ride from the Nitrous Competitions.
00:40:26Yamaha rider ahead of Scott Redding.
00:40:29That was a very controlled ride from Kyle.
00:40:38A scary crash for Andy Irwin.
00:40:40Brought out the safety car in race three.
00:40:42That's a Honda in the middle of the track.
00:40:44That's Andy Irwin, we reckon.
00:40:46And bizarrely, Danny Kent crashed whilst following it,
00:40:49damaging his hand
00:40:50and effectively putting an end
00:40:51to a season that had been going so well for him.
00:40:55When the car eventually pulled back in,
00:40:57Kyle Ride was able to pick up where he left off
00:40:59with some bold moves.
00:41:00Here comes Kyle.
00:41:02Can he get it stopped?
00:41:03Not quite.
00:41:04Not quite.
00:41:04And on that occasion, Redding goes back through.
00:41:07Oh, look at that on the inside at Crane of Curves.
00:41:10I tell you why, you don't see that often.
00:41:11No, and he's backing it into the old airpin.
00:41:13Can he get it back?
00:41:14Yeah, that cost him two metres, did that.
00:41:16And he's brought Brad Ray into it as well.
00:41:17Into the Swan's Curve.
00:41:18On the inside goes Kyle Ride.
00:41:21And into the race lead.
00:41:22And now Brad Ray fancies joining in on the action.
00:41:25Into McLean.
00:41:26So Ride, Redding and Ray are your top three.
00:41:28Yeah, and why do you think that is?
00:41:29Who's behind him?
00:41:30Brad Ray, championship rival.
00:41:32And that's pushed Kyle on.
00:41:33And that is a new Kyle Ride we're seeing.
00:41:35You wouldn't have seen that two years ago, would you?
00:41:36Nobody's surely going to think about a move into the air at this stage.
00:41:40But you get the sense, Brad Ray, the carrot's being dangled in front of him.
00:41:43I get the impression there that Kyle knew where Brad was.
00:41:46He had a go at that.
00:41:47And I think he thinks the pace is a bit slow.
00:41:48Here comes Brad Ray up the inside.
00:41:50Has he got it stopped?
00:41:50Yes, he has.
00:41:51Lovely move there from Brad Ray.
00:41:53Aggressive on the inside.
00:41:58Out of the final corner.
00:42:00And across the line to win race three here at Donington Park.
00:42:03Kyle Ride takes victory for Nitrous Competition's Yamaha.
00:42:06Bradley Ray in second.
00:42:07And Scott Redding on the podium in third position.
00:42:12In race four, it was Brad Ray who started from pole.
00:42:15And he took an early lead until Kyle Ride and Rory Skinner
00:42:18both came up with something to say about that.
00:42:22Another safety car after another scary crash,
00:42:25this time for Richard Kerr,
00:42:26bunched the field right up again.
00:42:29It was opposite fortunes for Kyle and Brad on the restart.
00:42:32Kyle able to take the lead and hold it from Rory Skinner.
00:42:36That's the signature move from Kyle Ride.
00:42:39That was brilliant.
00:42:41But Brad Ray, unable to hold off the pack
00:42:43and slip him back to seventh.
00:42:47Kyle Ride, what a phenomenal day's worth of racing.
00:42:50He takes three wins on Sunday here at Donington Park.
00:42:56Kyle Ride's incredible consistency
00:42:58had meant an 80-point swing in the standings
00:43:01over just four rounds.
00:43:02He was now 28 ahead of Brad Ray.
00:43:05But the points would now ramp up
00:43:06as the championship entered the showdown
00:43:08and another unknown.
00:43:10For the first time since 2019,
00:43:13the Bennett's British Superbike Championship
00:43:15returned to the iconic circuit of Assen in the Netherlands,
00:43:19a place that potentially could favour Brad Ray and Scott Redding
00:43:22with their recent world superbike experience there.
00:43:25So lots of unknowns at the Dutch track,
00:43:27not least, of course, with the weather.
00:43:30After a six-year absence,
00:43:32we're back at the Cathedral of Speed.
00:43:35But some Dutch courage is required.
00:43:38Autumn showers have hit us here
00:43:40ahead of the first race of the 2025
00:43:43Bennett's BSB showdown.
00:43:45Eyes on the lights.
00:43:49And we're underway.
00:43:50Good start from everyone there on the front row.
00:43:52Good start from Kyle Ride on row two as well.
00:43:54The number one immediately coming up to challenge Brad Ray.
00:43:57Kyle Ride right round the outside that.
00:43:59Chucked it out with Scott Redding
00:44:00and got the position.
00:44:01That was brave and bold there.
00:44:05Scott Redding immediately challenges.
00:44:07Kyle Ride on the approach now into turn six.
00:44:12Man on the move here is Christian Eden on the green bike.
00:44:18Oh, I see the Rodgers.
00:44:20That's Fraser Rodgers.
00:44:21Rodgers has gone down.
00:44:25Eden was on a flyer,
00:44:26closing in on Scott Redding.
00:44:28And unfortunately, it's gone wrong here.
00:44:30This is a very clever ride from Brad Ray.
00:44:34Yes, it is.
00:44:34He didn't get carried away at the start of the race.
00:44:37Then gambled on intermediates as Max is up to third.
00:44:41Max Cook here.
00:44:42What a podium this would be.
00:44:43Oh, and down there.
00:44:47Unfortunately for Max Cook.
00:44:49Max Cook.
00:44:50It is hard to know which way to look here.
00:44:534.4 seconds up the road though.
00:44:55Is Scott Redding.
00:44:56Oh, Ray's gone down.
00:44:58Brad Ray.
00:44:59He needed the points so badly.
00:45:02And is this.
00:45:04I'll tell you what, looking at that,
00:45:05they might end up stopping this race, you know.
00:45:09Arm up in the air from Scott Redding.
00:45:11And we've got a red flag.
00:45:13Rightly called, James.
00:45:15The race direction have made the decision
00:45:17that it will not be restarted this race.
00:45:20Scott Redding takes the win,
00:45:22but half points, remember.
00:45:24No points, crucially here,
00:45:26for Brad Ray.
00:45:2835 points now in it,
00:45:30in the championship between Ride and Ray.
00:45:33We said that this meeting might end up being pivotal.
00:45:41Conditions weren't much better
00:45:44when the grid lined up for race two in Assen.
00:45:47Christian Hiddens starting from pole position
00:45:49and nobody else able to show him a wheel
00:45:51in the sprint race.
00:45:53He's going for it
00:45:54and it's a good start on the Kawasaki as well.
00:45:56He will surely lead into turn one.
00:45:59Brad Ray seemed to have turned his form around
00:46:01and was sat in second
00:46:03until Rory Skinner squeezed through
00:46:04at the last chicane.
00:46:07Rory saw all of that right in front of him
00:46:09and he's made his move.
00:46:10It was a tough race for championship leader Carl Ride,
00:46:13but he eventually managed to salvage eighth
00:46:15and limit his losses to 10 points in the championship.
00:46:18But it was Christian Hiddens
00:46:19who was ultimately untouchable at the front.
00:46:23What a brilliant victory this has been
00:46:25for Hiddens.
00:46:26His first of 2025.
00:46:28He takes the spoils.
00:46:30Christian Hiddens, you are a PSP winner,
00:46:32want a game?
00:46:33Thanks so much.
00:46:33It's like the longest 18 laps of my life.
00:46:35I've got a sore throat, sorry,
00:46:36from screaming in my helmet.
00:46:37It was, do you know,
00:46:39the AJ and Steele Stock-Kawasaki squad
00:46:40put an absolutely fantastic bike underneath me yesterday
00:46:43and then obviously it was exactly the same self then.
00:46:47Yeah, big thank you to the team.
00:46:48They thoroughly deserved it.
00:46:50In AJ and Steele Stock-Kawasaki,
00:46:51I've got a squad of people
00:46:53that I just have the most respect for ever
00:46:56and yeah, I love being in that team.
00:46:57So big thanks to them.
00:46:58It was a dry grid for the start of race three
00:47:02and another good start for Christian Hiddens
00:47:04and Leon Haslam
00:47:05but rain soon fell to bring out the red flags again.
00:47:10This time at the restart,
00:47:11Haslam started from pole
00:47:12but Kyle Ride soon came through on him.
00:47:15It's going to be Kyle Ride,
00:47:16I think he gets the whole shot.
00:47:18Look at Storm though,
00:47:18he's lunging, he's lunging.
00:47:20Whoa!
00:47:21Unfortunately for the race two winner,
00:47:23Christian Hiddens,
00:47:24he wouldn't make it a double at the Dutch circuit
00:47:25after a fast crash at turn seven.
00:47:29That's Christian Hiddens, yeah, that's not good.
00:47:31The race winner from earlier on.
00:47:33Scott Redding was looking good
00:47:35in a one-off all-white livery
00:47:36to mark the 70th anniversary
00:47:38of PBM's title sponsor, Hager
00:47:39and he put it to good use.
00:47:43Redding's gone through on Leon Haslam
00:47:45so now this is going to be interesting.
00:47:47What can Scott Redding do?
00:47:52Oh, here comes Scott.
00:47:53Yep, he's going through.
00:47:55Scott Redding then
00:47:55on the Hager PBM Ducati
00:47:57goes through on Kyle Ride.
00:47:58He is wide.
00:47:59Whoa, and now
00:48:00the three are abreast
00:48:01because Haslam's coming through as well.
00:48:03That's put Kyle Ride
00:48:04on the wrong part of the circuit.
00:48:06Down into turn one.
00:48:07Haslam takes the lead.
00:48:08Scott Redding in behind him.
00:48:09Scott nearly ran into the back of Haslam.
00:48:11Ride settles for third.
00:48:13Look at it for Kyle that.
00:48:18So this is the penultimate lap
00:48:20of the race, remember.
00:48:21Over the line,
00:48:22Redding it was
00:48:23that led from Kyle Ride,
00:48:24but it's now Haslam
00:48:25that has the advantage.
00:48:27One of these three
00:48:28is taking the spoils
00:48:30and the glory
00:48:30here in Assen
00:48:32with the sun finally shining
00:48:34and now already
00:48:35Redding is looking
00:48:35to charge through
00:48:36into turn one.
00:48:37He's up the inside
00:48:37now with Haslam.
00:48:38Can he get the bike stopped?
00:48:40He can.
00:48:40A bit of a block pass
00:48:42and he's through.
00:48:44It's going to be difficult
00:48:44to get by a Ducati.
00:48:46I don't think Haslam's
00:48:47close enough
00:48:48to make a move
00:48:48on Redding either.
00:48:49No, he's going to...
00:48:51A mistake from the lads in front
00:48:52is going to give Kyle a chance,
00:48:53but I think that's the only thing.
00:48:54As it stands,
00:48:55he's set to increase
00:48:56his Championship League
00:48:57going into the final
00:48:58two rounds of the season.
00:49:00Number four.
00:49:02The special one-off
00:49:03Hager colour scheme
00:49:04is about to be put here
00:49:05to the top step,
00:49:06surely,
00:49:06unless there's one last twist
00:49:07from Leon Haslam
00:49:08or from Kyle Ryde.
00:49:10The chequered flag
00:49:11is being made ready.
00:49:12Decent job,
00:49:13this from Scott Redding.
00:49:14Two wins this weekend
00:49:15in Assen for Scott
00:49:17on the Hager PBM Ducati.
00:49:19He takes the 25 points
00:49:20from Haslam.
00:49:21Kyle Ryde,
00:49:22that's big
00:49:23for his Championship.
00:49:25That was the cowboy, baby,
00:49:27and that was the comeback kid.
00:49:29Oh, man, today,
00:49:30like Donington last race,
00:49:31I was like,
00:49:31I really got to win this race,
00:49:33but I controlled it
00:49:34a bit better.
00:49:35I went off that first part
00:49:36of the race
00:49:36like a scolded cat
00:49:37and I just thought
00:49:38I've got to move up.
00:49:39I could see that
00:49:40Leon was struggling
00:49:41a little bit
00:49:41with the same thing,
00:49:42so I thought
00:49:42I'm doing the same lap
00:49:43time I've got a bit more.
00:49:45He was riding defensive,
00:49:46but I just thought
00:49:47I've got to win
00:49:47in these colours.
00:49:48Like, whatever I do,
00:49:49I have to win.
00:49:50And to be honest,
00:49:51I thought I had one more lap,
00:49:52so I was lucky
00:49:52that I got the job done
00:49:53when I did.
00:49:54And I felt,
00:49:56as a rider,
00:49:56being able to overtake
00:49:57better this week,
00:49:58something I've worked on,
00:49:59that's been a weak point,
00:50:00but I've definitely
00:50:01upped my game there.
00:50:02So a massive thank you
00:50:03to the PBM team,
00:50:04Hager for the anniversary.
00:50:05We've done so much
00:50:06this weekend
00:50:06and thanks for all
00:50:07the fans joining me.
00:50:10Having arrived
00:50:11separated by 28 points,
00:50:13both Championship hopefuls
00:50:15were able to trade blows
00:50:16in Assen.
00:50:17Brad's mistake in race one
00:50:18was set right
00:50:19by a good performance
00:50:20in race two,
00:50:21but a tough final race
00:50:22meant that Kyle
00:50:23would slightly extend
00:50:24his lead
00:50:25to 31 points.
00:50:26A title chase then
00:50:30that for much of the season
00:50:31had looked like
00:50:31a two-horse race,
00:50:32but try telling that
00:50:33to Leon Haslam.
00:50:35He came out swinging
00:50:35at Assen
00:50:36and we could expect
00:50:37more from the pocket rocket
00:50:38at the penultimate round
00:50:39at Alton Park.
00:50:48Alton Park has provided
00:50:49some unforgettable
00:50:50showdown moments
00:50:51in the past.
00:50:52It's always that time
00:50:52of the Championship
00:50:53when things are heating up
00:50:54in the chase for the title
00:50:56and that time of the year
00:50:57when the weather
00:50:58inevitably plays its part
00:51:00and that's exactly
00:51:01what happened
00:51:01when the riders
00:51:02lined up on the grid
00:51:03for race one.
00:51:05Just as they set off
00:51:06on lap one,
00:51:07rain began to fall
00:51:08and the race
00:51:09was red flagged.
00:51:10What followed
00:51:11was a period
00:51:12of frantic tyre changes
00:51:13as the teams
00:51:14tried to predict
00:51:15what condition
00:51:15the track might be
00:51:16in when they restarted.
00:51:18The majority of the field
00:51:19started on wets
00:51:20but a couple gambled
00:51:21on the intermediate option.
00:51:26Nesbitt on the master
00:51:27back Honda
00:51:27is on pole.
00:51:28These are the two
00:51:29fighting it out
00:51:30for the Championship.
00:51:30They've both gone for wet.
00:51:31Who will prevail?
00:51:33Risk over reward?
00:51:34We're about to find out.
00:51:35Lights out!
00:51:37A rocket start
00:51:37from Stacey.
00:51:38He'll surely get
00:51:39the whole shot
00:51:39into Turn 1.
00:51:40Bradley Ray
00:51:41got away well as well.
00:51:42He's up the inside
00:51:42into third.
00:51:44He didn't got a problem.
00:51:45Yeah, they have.
00:51:46They've gone on to drys.
00:51:47Yeah, yeah.
00:51:47Those who have gambled
00:51:48on inters
00:51:49may well just succeed.
00:51:52Kyle right up the inside
00:51:53of Bradley Ray
00:51:54carving through the field.
00:51:56Here's Leon Haslam
00:51:56on the motor rapido
00:51:57to Katzi.
00:51:58Oh, look at Storpe.
00:52:00Completely sideways going in.
00:52:01He did well to collect that.
00:52:03Leon Haslam
00:52:04threw on Fraser Rogers
00:52:05into his ease
00:52:06to lead the race.
00:52:09That's not drops of rain.
00:52:10That is rain.
00:52:10That's full on rain.
00:52:123.6.
00:52:13Can you believe it?
00:52:14That's proper rain.
00:52:15Oh, twitching the rear end
00:52:17there for Leon.
00:52:17That's exactly what you expect.
00:52:19Rocket Ron can't watch anymore.
00:52:21And Kyle here,
00:52:22despite the conditions,
00:52:24having a look
00:52:24into the chicane.
00:52:26Josh Brooks here
00:52:27trying to find a way through.
00:52:28He's going to go around
00:52:29the outside.
00:52:31Most of the field
00:52:32went for wet,
00:52:32but these two on screen
00:52:33gambled on inters
00:52:35and it has paid off.
00:52:36Now we're going to Britain.
00:52:37Here he's going to have a look.
00:52:38He is.
00:52:38Oh, that was brilliant
00:52:40from the Australian.
00:52:42What a move from Brooks.
00:52:44Brooks has won again.
00:52:46Bad boys.
00:52:46He's back.
00:52:47What a great race.
00:52:49He takes glory here
00:52:50ahead of Leon Haslam.
00:53:00Race two was a delayed
00:53:02and shortened affair
00:53:03after track contamination
00:53:04on the first lap,
00:53:06but it was Josh Brooks
00:53:07that sat on pole
00:53:08for the restart.
00:53:09Leon Haslam took the lead
00:53:11early on,
00:53:11but the real story
00:53:12of the race
00:53:13was happening behind him.
00:53:15Brad Ray had started
00:53:15from 14th on the grid,
00:53:17but put together
00:53:18the race of his life
00:53:19to move quickly
00:53:20into the top five.
00:53:22Again, that wide
00:53:22swigging line.
00:53:23Oh, yeah, too wide
00:53:24from Storm Stacey.
00:53:25And just popping
00:53:26through the gap there
00:53:27is Bradley Ray.
00:53:29He didn't stop there
00:53:30and moved into
00:53:31a podium position,
00:53:32but with a 2.9 second
00:53:34gap to Christian Hiddon,
00:53:35it looked a long shot
00:53:36to progress further.
00:53:38Brad Ray is coming
00:53:39through here.
00:53:40This is one of the rides
00:53:41of the year.
00:53:43But that's exactly
00:53:44what he did
00:53:44and on the final lap
00:53:45he took the lead
00:53:46from Leon Haslam,
00:53:47having come through
00:53:48from 14th
00:53:49in just eight laps.
00:53:51He's going to
00:53:52jangle it.
00:53:52Yes, he does.
00:53:54Into the right-hander.
00:53:55Fantastic for Brad Ray.
00:53:58Brad Ray,
00:53:59take a bow.
00:54:01This championship
00:54:02closes up once more.
00:54:03One of the rides
00:54:04of the season.
00:54:05Ray wins
00:54:06for Raceway's Yamaha.
00:54:09Honestly,
00:54:09yeah,
00:54:10I knew I had to
00:54:11get close to the car.
00:54:13I need points
00:54:13back on the championship,
00:54:14but I got to a point
00:54:15in the race there
00:54:16where I just thought
00:54:17I need to enjoy
00:54:17riding my bike
00:54:18and the feeling
00:54:19come back.
00:54:20I relaxed,
00:54:21got through the pack
00:54:22quite nicely.
00:54:23I saw a few laps
00:54:23I was catching leads
00:54:25and I thought,
00:54:25do you know what?
00:54:26I need to have a go
00:54:27at the win here.
00:54:28I've lost a lot of points
00:54:29to the car recently.
00:54:31I'm not thinking
00:54:32about the championship now.
00:54:33I just want to enjoy
00:54:33riding my bike
00:54:34and when I do that,
00:54:35the results
00:54:37and the feelings
00:54:37come,
00:54:37so yeah,
00:54:38super happy for that.
00:54:39The team deserve it
00:54:40and yeah,
00:54:41probably one of my
00:54:42best rides of my career.
00:54:44And that result
00:54:45put Brad Ray
00:54:46and Carl Ride
00:54:47first and second
00:54:47on the grid
00:54:48for Race 3.
00:54:49What followed
00:54:50was one of the first
00:54:51real head-to-heads
00:54:53between the championship
00:54:54rivals
00:54:54with a few other names
00:54:56in there
00:54:56for good measure too.
00:54:58Lights out.
00:55:00Great start
00:55:00from Brad Ray.
00:55:01He's so good
00:55:02at starts
00:55:03and he will lead
00:55:04into turn one.
00:55:09Oh,
00:55:10and here is Kyle
00:55:11up the inside
00:55:12of Brad Ray
00:55:12into Old Hall
00:55:13to take the lead.
00:55:15Just mucked it.
00:55:16Oh,
00:55:16here he comes.
00:55:17He's going to go through
00:55:18on both of them
00:55:19potentially here.
00:55:20Oh,
00:55:20and Brad Ray
00:55:21now goes up the inside
00:55:22into Ireland.
00:55:24Aslam's got good drive
00:55:25out of Cascade
00:55:26and now
00:55:26goes through
00:55:28on Kyle Ride
00:55:28and he's up
00:55:29into second place.
00:55:33Here comes Kyle.
00:55:34Kyle through.
00:55:35Is he going to get
00:55:36that stopped?
00:55:36Just about.
00:55:38Great move.
00:55:39And if it is
00:55:40the strategy
00:55:40from Brad Ray,
00:55:41this is the danger
00:55:42right there.
00:55:45Oh,
00:55:45and Bradley Ray
00:55:46has now gone through
00:55:47on Kyle Ride.
00:55:48Was that into
00:55:49Ireland Bend?
00:55:49I suspect maybe it was.
00:55:51Yeah,
00:55:51because he's shown
00:55:52his pace in there,
00:55:52hasn't he?
00:55:55Leon Haslam there
00:55:56up alongside
00:55:57Kyle Ride now
00:55:58and using the speed
00:55:59of that motor
00:55:59repeater to Cate
00:56:00to go up
00:56:00into second place.
00:56:01Yep.
00:56:0334-9 again,
00:56:05but 34-6
00:56:05from Haslam
00:56:06and he leads
00:56:06going through
00:56:07at turn one.
00:56:10It's another place
00:56:11lost.
00:56:11Kyle's not
00:56:12completely willing
00:56:13to let him through
00:56:14and Storm Stacey
00:56:15is hungry there
00:56:16as well.
00:56:16He's waiting
00:56:17and he's going
00:56:18to have a look
00:56:18up the inside.
00:56:24Scott Redding
00:56:25up the inside
00:56:26of Bradley Ray.
00:56:27Brad knew
00:56:28it was coming
00:56:28as well
00:56:29and Christian
00:56:30Hiddin
00:56:30has just gone
00:56:30through on Kyle
00:56:31Ride.
00:56:35Here comes
00:56:36Brad Ray
00:56:36as well.
00:56:37He was coming
00:56:37through but
00:56:38it is
00:56:38Reading that
00:56:38leads.
00:56:39That's deep
00:56:39and Kyle
00:56:40Ride has
00:56:41got back
00:56:41through
00:56:41on Christian
00:56:42Hiddin
00:56:42as well
00:56:43and that's
00:56:43one of
00:56:43his best
00:56:44mates.
00:56:47Defensive
00:56:48from Scott
00:56:48Redding.
00:56:49Haslam,
00:56:50will he have
00:56:50a look?
00:56:50No,
00:56:51he won't.
00:56:51He's going
00:56:52to take a
00:56:52sweeping line
00:56:53and try
00:56:53and run
00:56:53into the
00:56:54line.
00:56:54Defending
00:56:55for his
00:56:55life is

00:56:58happened
00:56:58to Haslam?
00:56:59He's got
00:56:59it wrong.
00:57:00Brad Ray
00:57:00takes second.
00:57:01Storm Stacey
00:57:02just about
00:57:03gets fourth.
00:57:04Yes,
00:57:05Kyle
00:57:05Ride does
00:57:05stay in
00:57:06fifth place.
