Kyle Ryde roared to both Pirelli King of the Mountain and Monster Energy Cadwell 90 Trophy honours after an unstoppable weekend as the Bennetts British Superbike Championship hit Cadwell Park.
The OMG GRILLA Yamaha Racing rider lifted the Pirelli King of the Mountain Trophy after winning Sunday’s race and finishing second to Honda Racing UK’s Tommy Bridewell in Monday’s shorter Race Two – and then stamped his authority on the weekend by winning Race Three, and with it the Monster Energy Cadwell 90 Trophy.
Bank Holiday Monday’s opening race was all about defending champion Bridewell at his team’s local circuit, who hit the front on the opening lap and stayed ahead throughout the full 12 laps.
Home hero Lee Jackson on the MasterMac Honda got the holeshot at the start, but Bridewell was also fast off the line and made a move for the front at Park.
Behind, Ryde was pressuring Jackson, finding a way past on the fifth lap. He looked like he was poised to make a move on lap six but it didn’t happen and a lap later he fell back to third as Jackson swept past.
It took two laps for the Race One winner to find his way back past Jackson as the top three stayed close together on track, but nobody seemed to have an answer for Bridewell, who remained in full control.
On the final lap, he was able to just edge a small advantage as Ryde made a tiny mistake on the approach to the Mountain, giving him a small bit of breathing space as he rode to the flag, taking the win by 0.219s, as Jackson crossed the line third.
Ryde stormed to his second win of the weekend in Race Three, this time beating Bridewell by 0.702secs, as Bridewell banked his 100th podium.
Ryde got a flying start from second on the grid to grab the holeshot and lead the pack into Coppice for the first time as MasterMac Honda’s Charlie Nesbitt settled into second with the second OMG GRILLA Yamaha of Ryan Vickers in third.
On the second lap, Vickers shoved his way past Nesbitt and moments later passed Ryde, setting a blistering pace as he crossed the line into lap three.
But it was to be short lived, as he crashed out at Coppice seconds later, handing his team-mate the lead once again as further back, Bridewell moved ahead of Lee Jackson into fourth.
Ryde controlled the rest of the race from the front, as Bridewell’s next target was Glenn Irwin’s Hager PBM Ducati, which he passed on the fifth lap and set off after Nesbitt, passing him at Coppice on Lap Eight.
Behind, Jackson – who had dropped back to fifth – stuck a move on Irwin to climb back to fourth on the seventh lap before passing Nesbitt for third three laps later.
From there, the top three remained the same to the chequered flag, as Bridewell kept close to Ryde’s rear wheel, remaining around half a second at most off his rival.
With two laps to go, it was clear Bridewell wasn’t going to be able to bridge the gap and had to settle for second position behind a delighted Ryde, as Jackson scored another podium in third.
Race Three marked the end of the 2024 Bennetts British Superbike Championship Main Season, as the riders now prepare to enter the Showdown in the final three rounds, when the points value increases.
After Cadwell Park, Tommy Bridewell remains at the top of the points standings, 19 clear of Ryde with Glenn Irwin third, a further 41 points behind. Oxford Products Racing Ducati’s Christian Iddon has slipped to fourth as Vickers sits fifth.

“From what started off as a bit of a struggle, it ended up being pretty easy, which weekends like that don’t come very often but when they do you have to take the most from them.
“I would’ve liked to have taken all three wins but when it’s 12-laps everyone is pushing to the limit and the risk wasn’t quite worth it going wrong.
“The last race was probably the best race I’ve done, I was consistent and only made one mistake in the 20 laps. I got as many trophies as I could and was crowned Bennetts Rider of the Round – so thank you to the fans and of course my team for it.”
