Bennetts BSB's Magnificent Seven: Ryde celebrates debut win then doubles up

Kyle Ryde delivered an inch-perfect performance at Silverstone today for Buildbase Suzuki, claiming an emotional debut race win in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship, to become the seventh different rider to achieve victory in 2020, as the team became the fifth different winning team. At the start of the second race of the weekend, Ryde had been dicing for the lead with Josh Brookes. The VisionTrack Ducati rider hit the front of the field on lap two, and he held the position despite immense pressure from his rival until the closing stages. However, Ryde was able to make a move with three laps remaining to push Brookes back into second and the Buildbase Suzuki rider then posted three rapid laps to break away from Brookes and Jason O'Halloran in third, to cross the finish line with a 1m.686s advantage. The podium battle went down to the wire; and Brookes was able to hold off O’Halloran as the McAMS Yamaha rider was back on the podium, but his teammate and yesterday’s race winner Tarran Mackenzie, was forced out of action with a technical problem earlier in the race. Championship leader Glenn Irwin had fought himself into fourth place, after he broke clear of the chasing pack where an intense battle for fifth place raged. After some incredibly close battles and the order constantly changing, Bradley Ray equaled his best result of the season with a fifth place for SYNETIQ BMW, holding off Tommy Bridewell who moved up the order in the closing stages.

Mackenzie and McAMS Yamaha the next new winners in 2020

Tarran Mackenzie claimed a spectacular victory in the seventh round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship at Silverstone this afternoon, becoming the sixth different race winner of the season to give McAMS Yamaha their first win in 2020. At the start of the race, Danny Buchan launched off the pole position to lead the pack for the Rapid Fulfillment FS-3 Kawasaki team, however it was short lived as Andrew Irwin was instantly on the attack and stormed ahead before they crossed the line for the first time. Buchan was under fire from the opposition and soon it was the Honda Racing pairing at the front of the field, with Andrew leading Glenn and soon Jason O'Halloran was also in the fight for the lead, with Buchan then in fourth. On the fifth lap, Glenn Irwin grabbed the lead from his brother and the pair looked like they would try and break the pack, however O’Halloran was in close contention, and Kyle Ryde was into fourth and proving to be a threat on the Buildbase Suzuki. By lap eight Ryde had moved ahead of O’Halloran for third with the Australian also having his teammate for company, as Mackenzie sliced his way through the field from his fourth row start position. Mackenzie wasted no time in getting ahead of O’Halloran and by lap 12 he was into third place, before passing Andrew Irwin a lap later. The Honda Racing rider was trying to fight back, but a mistake into Brooklands meant he lost serious ground and then would have to do the work all over again. Read the full article

Ryde to Ride Halsall Supersport Bike as Neave Gets Second Superbike Chance

The Movuno.com Halsall Racing Suzuki team is continuing its support of young riders by loaning Kyle Ryde its Yamaha R6 Supersport machine for this weekend’s Bennetts British Superbike Championship round at Oulton Park.

The team has stepped in after learning the 21-year-old was without a ride. He will receive full assistance from the team, which will again run Tom Neave in Superbikes while Chrissy Rouse recovers from injury.

Team Manager Colin Wright explained: “On Monday I learnt that Kyle would not be racing as he was without a bike, and we decide to offer him the chance to use our R6.

“He’s a talented young rider and we didn’t like the idea he had no ride while we had a spare bike. We’ll be offering him as much help as we can, while also continuing our efforts with Tom Neave on the Superbike and Tom Ward in Superstock 1000.”

Ryde, of Nottingham, was surprised but delighted to get the call. “After last weekend the last thing I expected was to be racing at Oulton, so I was amazed to hear from Colin,” he said.

“I’m really grateful for the opportunity and I hope we can have a really good weekend. I plan to be fighting up at the front – I’m certainly not going there to just make up the numbers.”

Tom Neave is also looking forward to Oulton Park. “I’m very pleased to be given another chance to ride the Movuno.com Halsall Racing Suzuki,” he said. “Silverstone was great but I had a lot to learn, so to get a second chance is fantastic.

“I’m confident that now I’ve had some time on the bike I can push harder this time and get higher up the order. I’m hoping for a good qualifying and then will be aiming for some good points on Sunday.”

And the team’s Superstock 1000 pilot Tom Ward is just as excited. “Silverstone was possibly my worst round so far and I just want to put that behind me and move on,” he said.

“I want to enjoy Oulton Park. It’s a track where anything can happen, but with the season drawing to a close soon, I want to end it on a high so will be going all out to get a good result here.”
