Team Ranieri Med SC Racing has unexpectedly pulled out of the W൲orld Supersport championship leaving Kyle Ryde without a race seat.

The former British Supersport ri🎀der stepped up to the international stage over the winter with Team Ranieri Med on a Yamaha YZF-R6 but has been given the shock news that his team is withdrawing from the championship with immediate effect just days after round five at Imola.

Ryde ha🐷s been released from his contract with the team and is now searching for a ride ✃elsewhere but says the decision came as a huge surprise.

"It is with great regret that we have to inform you, Team Ranieri Med - SC Racing have withdrawn from the 2016 World Supersport Championshi💮p with immediate effect," a statement read on his personal website. "This devastating news has come completely out of the blue with no prior discussion or 💮warning."

No reason or cause has been given for Team Ranieri Med's exit from the World Superspor✤t championship and Ryde says he will issue a statement in duꦕe course regarding his future plans.

After storming to the podium in his maiden WSS race as a wildcard aꦍt Donington Park last year, the 2015 British Supers🦋port runner-up made the full-time move to the international series this year. Ryde currently sits 24th in the WSS riders' championship with two points-scoring finishes at Aragon and Assen.
