After leading a Ya൩maha 1-2 into turn one, Ray and Ryde were demoted to fourth and fifth as Skinner t🃏ook the lead from Glenn and Andrew Irwin. 

Eager to write the wrongs of race two, Ray immediately set about mov🍨ing back to the front as he got through on Ryde for P4.

That started 🐻a mini drop for Ryde as he went from fifth to seventh in the space of two corner𓆉s. 

The second change for the lead took place on lap four as Irwin got through on Skinner🐠, while a lap later Storm Stacey wen🥂t down at Brooklands. 

Making it an Irwi💦n 1-2; Andrew got through on Skinner at Luffield (lap six) as Jason O’Halloran also got ahead of ꦏRay for fourth. 

Ryde’s drop continued to t♛ake place on laps nine and 10 as Christian Iddon and Danny Buchan also got ahead ofꦜ the two-time podium finisher this weekend.

Struggling 🌼to keep pace with his brother, a train of riders led by O’Halloran began to form behind A. Irwin. 

With his team-mate going backwards, Ray started to instead move forward following overtakes on Tommy Bridewell and Skinner. Ray then made another move on O’Halloran for third in what was quickly becoming a mid-race charge from the two-time BS💧B winner. 

As Ray line𒊎d up a move on Irwin for second, the 24 year-o𒉰ld then came close to a highside on the exit of turn four. 

Looking to regroup and challenge Irwin once more, Ray suffered yet another huge moment coming onto the start-finish ꦰstraight. This came a lap after O’Halloran and Buchan made significant contact coming into Luffield. 

Laℱp 22 and Ray was eventually through on Irwin as he immediately gapped th🌟e SYNETIQ BMW rider. 

Ray began closing in on G.Irwin with just five laps to gꦬo, but with the Honda rider keeping a strong pace out front, Ray ultimately ran out of time. 

Making it a double Irwin podium was Andrew as he held off Skinn♔er, O'Halloran and team-mate Buchan for P3 on the final lap.

Bradley Ray crashes out from a sure-fire British Superbike race two win 

Although the pace set 🦄by Ray was proving very hot, just like the🦩 bright sunshine around Silverstone, G. Irwin began closing in on the leading trio of Ray, Ryde and Skinner with 16 laps gone. 

With exceptional traction being a big reason for Irwin’s race one success, the Northern Irishman seemed to have the same advantage over hꦛis rivals as he went around the outside of Skinner at turn one. 

Eager to make it tw🍎o from two, Irwin then got ahead of Ryde going into turn four with ten laps remaining. The Honda rider, who was losing ground to Ray, was granted his wish of leading the race as the Yamaha rider dramatically crashed out at Luffield. 

Ray had gradually been building his lead throughout the race - extending his advantage over Irwin to nearly a second before the fall♈. 

The former Suzuki and BMW rider gave it everythi🌟ng to try and save the front end crash, but was ultimately unable to do so.
