La Viva Espania

Kyle Ryde the newly crowned British 125cc Motorcycle Road
Racing Champion has been in action again recently, this time though on foreign
soil, albeit the Spanish circuits of Valencia & Jerez.

Kyle has been taking part in the last two rounds of the
Spanish CEV Buckler 125cc series. This is for riders of 14 years and over and
runs alongside the 600cc Moto2 and 1000cc Classes.  This series attracts some of the world’s most
talented young riders, all of who have their dreams of progressing one day into
MotoGP, this is the world’s top class Motorcycle Championship, which is run by
the Spanish company of Dorna.

Grids in this Spanish 125GP championship usually total 30 or
more riders racing highly tuned 50hp, 140mph two-strokes machines. Honda and
Aprilia dominate the grids. However these two-stroke machines are being
replaced next season in the Spanish series, by the Moto-GP inspired Moto3
250cc, single-cylinder four-strokes.

Around 15,000 fans attended the Valencia Circuit for the
penultimate round of the 2011 CEV Buckler Spanish National Championship. They
were not left disappointed, after witnessing some good victories, high drama
and decisive crashes on a day of which rain from the early morning hours left a
very damp track and very tricky conditions for all the riders taking part in
the days events.

Kyle’s practise & qualifying were done in two groups and
Kyle was in B group of which over the two days he qualified 8^th in
his group and 15^th overall, which considering out of 40 plus riders
is no mean feat. Most of these riders were regulars to the series, some of
which had also been given Moto GP machines for these final two rounds of the
season, some of the machines in front of Kyle’s, were previously used by GP
riders such as Terrol, Zarco and even fellow British rider Danny Kent’s machine
was out there. So Kyle was going to find it very difficult to match the pace of
these riders and their bikes, with them having so much more power and
manoeuvrability than his RS Racing Honda.

Kyle on the race-day, laid down the challenge to his rivals
in this CEV 125GP Championship race with a superb first ride in the series to a
credible 12th place finish in this penultimate round at the Valencia race
circuit.

Kyle mastered the tricky conditions resulting from the
earlier downpours to gain several places as the race went on. He kept his calm
sense of riding in these conditions and was battling with his adversary from
the British Championship Wayne Ryan, closely pursued by his Racing Steps
teammate and Spanish race regular, Fraser Rodgers. This trio were together for
most of this eighteen-lap race, with Ryan eventually taking tenth spot in the
race and the honour of being the first British rider through the chequered
flag.

Fraser Rodgers was 2.5 seconds behind, with Kyle just under
seven-hundredths of a second behind Rogers. British
125 regulars Bradley Ray and Rob Guiver took 17th and 19^th places.

Newly Moto3-mounted Miguel Oliveira claimed the race
victory, the Portuguese, riding the Honda Racing-backed Monlau bike finished
almost six seconds ahead of second place rider Josep Rodriguez, and Alex
Marquez took the final podium place.

Oliveira, who stamped his authority on the race from start
to finish, is the first ever rider to win on a Moto3 bike in the CEV series.
But despite the victory the Portuguese is ineligible for championship points.

 This anomaly hands
the winner’s points to second-placed Rodriguez while Marquez and Rins collect
20 and 16 points respectively . Rins now heads into the final round at Jerez
with a 12 points advantage over Catalunya Caixa teammate Marque.  Where once again our Young British 125cc
Champion Kyle Ryde, will be out to show the Spanish Teams and riders exactly
why he won the British Title this year.

Final RoundJerez

Kyle and his father Sean spent a few days travelling south
to the Jerez circuit
for the last round of this highly prized Championship.

This meeting was to be a re-run of the previous weekends
race with the qualifying session taking place in wet conditions again and this
was reflected in Kyle’s grid position of 20^th with fellow Brits
Guiver & Ryan just in front, Bradley Ray was the quickest British rider,
qualifying a strong 3^rd place on the grid.

  Kyle had to master
these damp conditions again on the race day, but he was 10^th fastest
in the early morning warm-up, so this gave him an extra confidence boost and
this reflected in his placing, as by the first lap he was up to a strong 10^th
place tussling with fellow British riders McPhee & Ray.

After a few laps
Kyle and McPhee lost Ray from their sides as he retired from the race and
McPhee was now starting to slightly gain an advantage over Kyle, but the pair
were now being joined by Japanese Moto 3 rider Kenta Fujii and Italian Andrea
Migno, both of these are strong regular CEV riders and they did not waste any
time overwhelming Kyle first, then McPhee, with Migno actually going on to
finish third on the podium.

Kyle maintained his
race momentum and slowly moved up the leader-board with this pack of riders and by the time of the chequered flag coming down on his final race of the 2011 season, he crossed the finishing line in an excellent 6^th
place.

Again Portuguese Miguel Oliveira claimed the race victory,
with Italian Antonelli 2^nd and Migno 3^rd.

This has been a great experience for Kyle and he has been
able to show to the highly funded Spanish Teams just what he his really capable
of and the reason behind his success in the British Championship.

Next year will see Kyle back in the Moto GP RedBull Rookies
Cup, but  he would also like to be out on
the circuits of Spain again,
chasing the Spanish Title on a new Moto 3 machine.

There will be a Fund raising event-taking place at the
Jacksdale Welfare Club on 7pm Friday
the 9^th December, in order to try and raise enough money to keep
Kyle racing next year, all are welcome.

Get your hands on some Kyle Ryde merchandise.

In 2 weeks time Kyle will hopefully be racing at the last 2 CEV rounds in Spain which will also be the last time the 125′s will be ridden at this series as there being replaced with the new class of Moto3 which will be 250 four strokes.

90% of the feild will be ex GP bikes, Aprilia, Derbi and KTM’s so Kyle’s Honda will have to be on top form as its been all season in the UK.

Unfortunatley the team are struggleing to find all the funds needed to compete at these last 2 meetings and is seeking any fianacial support that would be available for Kyle to show what he can do in this series that is the stepping stone to Motogp.

Kyle Ryde becomes the youngest ever Motorcycle Road Racing Champion!

The Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit in Kent became the arena for the finale of the Sunoco British 125cc Motorcycle road racing Championships.

The series Leader 14 year old Kyle Ryde goes into this final round with an eleven point lead over Racing Step Foundation sponsored Wayne Ryan, who incidentally is on a new full specification Aprilia Grand Prix machine for this ultimate round.

Friday was the day for free practise and largely used for the set-up of the bikes. This day saw them using the 1.2mile Indy circuit. Due to the local council noise regulations, the qualifying sessions on Saturday they used the full Grand Prix circuit that come race day the riders will have to do battle on.  Fridays practise saw the main contenders for the championship title: Ryde, Ryan and local hero Rob Guiver, all putting in good lap times. However, towards the end of the free practise time Kyle dropped the bike at Druids; he himself was fine, just some minor damage to the machine.

Back out on track on Saturday, the two qualifying sessions saw the action become even hotter as the main two young Gladiators, Ryde & Ryan fought it out for pole position! The first session saw Ryan staying at the top of the Leader Board all through the 25minute session, with Kyle coming in a close second place with a 0.3 seconds difference. Rob Guiver was 0.1 seconds down on Kyle’s time making up the top three positions.

The second qualifying session was in the afternoon straight after the Superbike’s Qualifying session. Again the leading contenders were straight into the groove with Ryan, Ryde, Guiver, Hedger & Ray all showing their cards up front! As the second session developed though, you could see that it was going to be a psychological battle between the two youngsters at the front Ryde & Ryan, as lap by lap they became quicker & quicker, posting faster times through the various speed check sectors out on the circuit. By the ninth lap of this second session Ryan had been the quickest, but then Kyle managed to up his pace and put in a quick lap and by the tenth lap was 0.03 seconds in front! This was to be short lived as Ryan picked the pace up again on his new Aprilia machine and retained the top spot for the remainder of the session, finishing off by having a 0.6 second advantage over Kyle, who in turn has a 0.7 lead over 3^rd place man Rob Guiver.

The front row of the grid for the final British Championship 125cc race of the season was to be Ryan on pole with Ryde second, Guiver third and Hedger in fourth. Sunday’s race was delayed due to earlier incidents on the track during the previous races; it was also cut from twelve laps to nine. Kyle, for once, was nervous for the race and as he led the two sighting laps this didn’t really show as he was soon out there doing what he does best and that’s riding a motorcycle.

As the red lights went out the full pack of twenty-nine machines headed for the notorious right hand corner of Paddock Hill Bend.  Kyle led the pack down the hill and up to Druids corner for the first couple of laps but all the time Ryan & Guiver, his two nearest rivals in the Championship, were well on his heels! Eventually they both managed to get the better of Kyle, who only had to finish in third place to secure the Championship, so with the two contenders starting to really push the machines to the limits, Kyle just
took a back seat watched the action and enjoyed!

In the later stages of the race Kyle did start to come under serious threat from Luke Hedger & Bradley Ray who were having their own battle for fourth & fifth places and starting to reel Kyle in.

However, Kyle turned up the pace again and started to open up a safe gap between himself & Hedger in order to secure the Championship; this safety net paid off and he came through the chequered flag in a well thought out third place behind Ryan & Guiver thus making him the Sunoco British 125cc GP Motorcycle Road Racing Champion 2011!

Kyle’s achievement will go down in British Motorcycle Racing history as well as becoming the youngest to win a British Championship race  (5 in total now); he also becomes the youngest ever Motorcycle Road Racing Champion at 14 yrs 2 months and 17 days old!! Some achievement that will be very hard to beat!

Not only has Kyle won the British Championship, Kyle has also won the ACU Academy Cup, which is a separate Championship run within the 125cc Championship; this is especially for the young riders between the ages of 13 yrs of age & 16 yrs of age. For wining this title Kyle and the Team have the entry fees for the last two rounds of the Spanish CEV Championship paid for, which will be held at the Jerez & Valencia GP circuits during November.

Kyle and his Family would like to say a huge thank you to all the sponsors and Team 77 fans!

Four out of Four

Kyle Ryde’s racing ability grows from strength to
strength, as this past weekend saw him in action again at the Silverstone Grand
Prix circuit in Northamptonshire, for the penultimate round of the British
125cc Motorcycle Road Racing Championship.

After tasting glory in the last three rounds of this series, which is run along side
the British Superbike Championship, young Ryde set the early pace in free
practise on Friday, by setting the fastest times, but by the second free
practise, Aprillia Superteen Champion Wayne Ryan was gaining on Kyle and had
closed the gap for the next day qualifying sessions.

In the first Qualifying Wayne Ryan came out on top with Kyle a strong second
place, however Kyle only managed around half the timed session as he was
suffering mechanical problems, so the team were under a lot of pressure to get
the machine running right for the second session later in the afternoon.
However the team persevered and managed to put Kyle out for the thirty-minute
session and Kyle got onto the pole position for the race on Sunday by 1.25
seconds over Wayne Ryan, one of Kyle’s fiercest rivals along with Rob Guiver
for the 125cc Championship Trophy.

Sundays race day came and Kyle was second
fastest in warm up, as Wayne Ryan’s Aprillia was really going quick around the
GP circuit and Kyle was certainly going to have a battle on his hands with this
other contender for the 125cc Title.  The
race itself was to be one of the last of the day and didn’t start until around 5.15pm, so tensions were mounting
high in the paddock as these young guns waited for their turn to enter the
arena.

The 125cc machines went out on their sighting lap as the final Superbike Race
winners were being given their awards and celebrating their wins, whilst they
had done their work for the weekend, for the 125 racers it was just beginning.

As the red lights went out, it was instantly showing that it was going to be a two
horse race, Ryde versus Ryan!  Lap by lap
these two youngsters, swapped places. This was really entertaining for the
crowd, which had stayed on to witness these two young warriors fighting for
each bit of the tarmac course. Kyle couldn’t break Ryan’s pace, as the Aprillia
was fast on the straights, so what Kyle’s Honda machine lacked on the straights
he had to make up on the bends and this he did every time Ryan got the better
of him and this was how the race continued with the rest of the pack a mere
twenty nine seconds behind!

As the final lap arrived; Ryde & Ryan were still changing places by every
corner, with Ryde using all his knowledge and corner speed in order to get the
better of the quicker machine of Ryan as they entered the final corner towards
the chequered flag, Ryan was leading just! Kyle grabbed an opportunity with a
manoeuvre up the inside into the last corner and taking the Flag by a mere
0.067 seconds. Rob Guiver came home in third place twenty nine seconds down
from the two youngsters’; this is Kyle’s fourth win in a row in this British
125cc Championship.

Kyle has now extended his Championship lead over Wayne Ryan from six points to
eleven points, with Rob Guiver sixteen points behind. Kyle is also leading the
ACU Academy Cup from Wayne Ryan by seven points.

The final round of the British 125cc Championship series takes place 0n Sunday Oct
9th at the Brands Hatch circuit inKent.
