Ryde celebrated his second victory of the 2023 Bennetts British Superbike Championship in the BikeSocial Sprint Race for the LAMI OMG Racing Yamaha Team, delivering a masterful performance to keep title rivals Tommy Bridewell (BeerMonster Ducati) and Leon Haslam (ROKiT BMW Motorrad) behind him.

Ryde hit the front of the pack after a rapid start from the Omologato pole position and he continued to set a pace that would give him the edge of 1.086 seconds at the checkered flag, but behind Bridewell and Haslam were dueling for second place, which went in Birdwell’s favor.

On Sunday, O’Halloran ended his recent run of torrid fortunes by claiming his first victory in the 2023 Bennetts British Superbike Championship to become the fifth different race winner of the season, following a sensational second race at Donington Park.

However, in the third and final race, Ryde rebounded from a race-two crash to become the first rider to claim a double victory on a weekend, where seven different riders celebrated podium success.

Ten points now separate the leading five riders in the standings. Bridewell leads the way with 119 points, followed by Irwin with 116, Josh Brookes with 114, Haslam with 110 and Ryde with 109.
