Fastline favourite Kyle Ryde has done it again.
The OMG GRILLA Yamaha rider has officially retained his Bennetts British Superbike Championship crown, becoming the first rider since Shane Byrne in 2017 to successfully defend the title.
What makes this achievement even more impressive is how Ryde sealed the deal at Brands Hatch. A sixth-place finish in the final race might not sound like the stuff of legend, but that's exactly what champions do. When the pressure's on and the title's within reach, they ride smart, they stay composed, and they bring it home. No heroics needed, just the kind of mature, calculated performance that separates contenders from champions.
For those who've followed Ryde's journey, this back-to-back success feels like watching something special unfold. In a sport where consistency is everything and one mistake can cost you a season's work, he's proven he has what it takes not just to reach the top, but to stay there.
It's been seven years since we saw a rider defend this title. That's how hard it is. That's how good Kyle Ryde is right now.
Congrats from all at Fastline.
