The rain returned to play it’s part in the first of Sunday’s feature races, which ended early as the red flag waved as the conditions worsened, with Kyle Ryde ahead at the right time a𝔉s both Ducati’s ended up 𒈔in the gravel.

Round ten continued to be full of chaos with both Ryde and Haslam able to cut chun♈ks out of the title deficit up front as the other big story of the race unfolded - with the BeerMons🐽ter bikes out of the points again.

The o𓃲pening corners were dry a🌜nd lead by Leon Haslam until Glenn Irwin, who had made quick work of the riders in front, arrived to take over.

The #2 was in a hurry, eager ⛎to make the most of his ri⛄val Tommy Bridewell’s last place start.

It was w🌊hile the Northern Irish rider was leading that the rain arrived and an extremely cautious few laps out front a🎃llowed a group of eight to bunch up behind, then all realise they were in with a shout of the win if they held their nerve.

Zero to hero and back again for Bridewell.

By that stage𝔉 Tommy Bridewell who started sꦫtone last in 26th had put in the hard work and fastest laps to reach the lead group.

Seventh on lap 🍃eight and used to moving faster than the leaders the #46 made quick work of the next few bikes aheꦿad, moving into fourth at turn one on lap four as he hurried past Ryde.

Corners later he w🎉as second, and by the end of the lap he was up the inside of his teammate to lead - a wake up call for Irwin.

Rattled, Irwin responded and the pair s✅wapped position over the next few corners as the rain worsened, several 🌳riders including Bridewell putting their hands up to express how bad they thought the weather was.

Ryde took advantage of the duo focussing on each other to slip between them and in behind Irwin on lap twelve. The Lami OMG rider then lead out of the esses as ✤their tension between the Ducati riders boiled over.

As they reached the Melbourne loop Tommy Bridewell turned in wiꦍth nowhere to go and cleared out Irwin, both red bikes and riders sent flyin👍g into the gravel. The front inpact was hard on Bridewell who had a large piece of paint design missing from his helmet. Irwin was livid and immediately went on the attack, with a marshal pulling him away.

Their issues with each other continued into the garage, with Irwin yelling at the opposite side until the PBM team wisely lowered the shutters. Both later apologised, but feelings were still run♚꧂ning high.

Post race, race direction handed out sanctions. Tommy Bridewell who was due to start from pole was haded three penalty points and a three place grid p༺enalty for race three for 'riding which results in avoidable orunfair contact with another coಌmpetitor'.

Glenn Iwrin was charged൲ with a🐠cting 'prejudicial to the interests of the MCRCB or of motorsport generally' for his actions in the gravel, as well as 'disregard of instructions of an official' and was handed two penalty points.

Ryde and Haslam eye championship prize

Back꧙ on track the race went on until lap seventeen of twenty, with Yamaha’s Ryde leading all of those laps to remain in front and take the race two BSB win having lined 🦩up down in 15th on the grid. Ryde credited an extra tear off on his visor with his success, pulling it off gave him the clear vision and clarity he needed to push hard.

Haslam, who had started from pole after a superb race one run saw 𓆏which saw him set the fastest lap in treacherous conditions as he expertly mastered his difficult tyre choice again proved able in the wet.

The #91 looked for a w🐷ay past despite the conditions but finished second, 0.224s behind when the red flag came out.

Christian Iddon took advantge of the chaos having moved into the concertinaed lead group, moving into third around the time of the Ducati crash and holding on🅠 until the race was declared a result for Oxford Products Ducati. It is his third podium of the season and first since Brands Hatch.

He moved ahead of Lee Jackson, the top Kawasaki in fourth, while Jason O’Halloran staged a huge comeback of his own, coming up from 21st to finish fifth for McAMS Yamaha, following Bridewell forward once he swung p🍌ast him.

Race one winner Ryan Vickers placed sixth onꦕ the second 🐈Lami OMG entry.

Charlie Nesbitt finished seventh for꧂ MasterMac Honda, just ahead of FHO racing’s Josh Brookes in eighth.

M🔥ax Cook was a distant ninth as the rest of the field gapped out. Peter Hickman brought hom🎐 the second FHO BMW inside the top ten.

Mar-Train Yamaha rider Jack Kennedy was next to the chequered flag in eleventh, with Niccolo Canepa (in at McAMS Yamaha)twelfth after serving a long lap penalty for an accidental shortcut at the 🧜chicane.

The remaining points went to Tom Newve 🅺for Honda Uk in 13th, Davey Todd (Milwaukee BMW) in 14th and Alex Olsen on the Superstock ‘Pathway’ Cumins by IWR Team entry.

Only two other riders finished the race, Jack Scott in♚ 16th for R🃏apid CDH Kawasaki and Brayden Elliott for DAO racing Kawasaki in 17th.

Crashes and Injuries and replacements

Franco Bourne did not make it around the warm-u🦄p lap as he suffered a mechanical is🃏sue.

Michael Dunlop c✤ontinued his replacement stint for Josh Owens at Hawk Racing but was first into t♔he pits.

Luke Mossey skittled down the order early on and 🍸run off again later in the race.

Along with Bri🃏dewell amd Irwin🥂, Louis Valleley, Storm Stacey, Bradley Perie and Andrew Irwin all also failed to finish.

Hector Barbera  did not take part afteꩲr his accident in practice left hi𒀰m sidelined.

Where does that leave the championship?

There wa♏s no change with the Ducati riders after the sprint result, so the top two were still split by half a point before race two got underway.

That didn’t change as again they were out 💮of the points.

A race win saw Ryde up to 🌳third on 324 - now just 31.5 behind Irwin. Similarly Haslam also made gains, moving onto 327 with second.

Lee Jackson al🍃so gave himself a distant shout if results go his way, 46 points behind Irwin.

making up the mos🌳🤡t places in the race sees O'Halloran hold onto a dstant but mathematical shot at the crown.
