Challenging British Superbikes weekend in Scotland for Leon Haslam

Leon Haslam endured a hard weekend in the latest round of the 2026 ZYN British Superbike Championship at Knockhill.

The Derbyshire rider's Moto Rapido Ducati did not perform to his liking but he did have the consolation of ending the day third in the Standings.

After a testing start to the meet, qualifying 12th, Haslam finished eighth in the first race and then sixth in Race Two, which was as 20-lap sprint. An eighth place in the final race completed the weekend.

Haslam said: “It's been a challenging Round Three and thanks to my team for all their hard work and dedication.”

It was a good weekend for championship leader Kyle Ryde, who took the chequered flag first in the opening two races.

His nearest challenger, Scott Redding, came back to win the final race.

"I was just getting fed up with being second,” said the victor.

The next round is at Snetterton on the weekend of July 3-5.
