Kyle Ryde (Kyle Brandon Ryde, born 22 July 1997)[1] is a British motorcycle road racer.
In early 2016 Ryde signed with an Italian team for his first season's racing in the Supersport World Championship on a Yamaha YZF-R6,[2] but the team unexpectedly withdrew from competition without explanation after the first five events in May 2016. Ryde only missed one event, at Sepang, Malaysia.[3][4] He later rode a Kawasaki ZX-6R in the Supersport World Championship for Schmidt Racing,[3] a team formed during late 2015 in Hungary, joining with team-mate Nico Terol.[5]
Ryde spent his early years until 2002 in Swanwick, Derbyshire, then moved to nearby Jacksdale, Nottinghamshire where he is still based.[6]
He became the youngest ever British 125cc Champion by winning the 2011 British 125cc Championship. He secured his second British Championship by winning the British National Superstock 600 Championship in 2014.[7]
For 2015, Ryde stepped up to compete in the British Supersport Championship riding for Pacedayz European Trackdays aboard a Yamaha YZF-R6, finishing the season in second place. On May 24, 2015, he participated for the first time in a Supersport World Championship event, as a wild-card rider in the Great Britain round at Donington Park. He classified third after having qualified on the front row in second place.[8]
