BSB champion Kyle Ryde makes surprise entry in ASBK finale – but not on a Superbike.
Newly crowned British Superbike champion Kyle Ryde will surprise fans by competing in the Australian Superbike season finale next month, but in the Supersport category for the Stop and Seal Yamaha team, not the premier SBK class. This move puts Ryde in a position to potentially influence the title battle between his ‘team-mates’ Jack Mahaffy and Archie McDonald. Ryde, celebrating back-to-back British Superbike titles, has prior experience in Australia, having competed in World Supersport rounds. Despite his recent success in SBK, Ryde has a history of strong performances in the Supersport category and will switch to Ducati machinery in 2026.
