2026 British Superbike championship progression

Overview

In early July, Kyle Ryde finished third at Snetterton, extending his streak of 70 consecutive podiums and setting a new race lap record on his Ducati. He benefited from two front‑runners’ DNFs and overtook Leon Haslam before securing the final podium spot. The weekend also saw Bradley Ray claim pole and set an all‑time lap record, while Scott Redding and rookie Joe Talbot posted strong results. Two weeks later at Brands Hatch, Ryde took pole with a 1:23.954 lap that broke the series’ all‑time record. He converted the pole into a victory in the opening race, holding off teammate Scott Redding until the event was red‑flagged with two laps remaining after Eugene McManus crashed at Paddock Hill Bend. Medical staff treated McManus for suspected fractures before he was taken to hospital. Max Cook finished third and Leon Haslam fourth. The win placed Ryde atop the championship standings with 218 points, ahead of Redding’s 199. At Oulton Park, pre‑qualifying saw Bradley Ray post the fastest lap, while Ryde recovered from a crash at Brittens to finish eighth. In the main qualifying session, Max Cook set a new circuit record of 1:32.662 to claim pole, with Storm Stacey second, Ray third and Haslam fourth. Ryde, after his earlier incident, qualified tenth. On Sunday, Ryde turned his strong qualifying into a race win, holding off teammate Scott Redding who finished second after battling a handling bug and tyre concerns. Redding said he tried to pass everywhere and dug in again. Max Cook endured a heavy crash at the Cascades corner in the Saturday race, describing it as one of the biggest of his career and leaving him bruised. He returned for the Sunday races, finishing fifth in the first race and sixth in the final despite his body “shutting down”.
