So my race was kind of run with six laps to go.

So, yeah, bit of luck today to keep the podium run going, but take the positives and tomorrow make the bike a little bit better and hopefully we can get ahead of Leon on lap one\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Ryde

podium run in BSB race one at Snetterton.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body\">\n<p>After admitting he expected to run at the front on Friday during practice, Kyle Ryde was handed a gift with two DNFs from lead riders, to feature back on the podium at BSB race one at Snetterton.<\/p>\n<p>The reigning champion and championship leader has never recorded a win at Snetterton, and from sixth on the grid for Nitrous Coin Nitrous Competitions Rider had his work cut out, stuck on track behind a defensive ride from Leon Haslam, who passed back several times before giving best to the number 1 plated bike.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to British Superbikes after the race Ryde commented on how difficult it was to pass with all the frontrunners able to achieve similar pace, regardless of machinery: \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the start of the race I thought that it was going to be stretched quite early, but everyone had a lot of speed at the start, everyone was doing high 46s and the group was all together, so it was difficult to make a pass because everyone\u2019s on probably lap record pace, which was last year.<\/p>\n<p>Haslam was incredibly hard for Ryde to find away around, as another former champion, also with Ducati machinery underneath them as Ryde explained:<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues
