In race 1 of round 5 of the British Superbike Championship (BSB) at Brands Hatch, defending champion Kyle Ryde took the win. A close duel with Scott Redding continued until a red flag was shown with two laps remaining, ending the race early.
Red flag with two laps left - in that moment, time stops in the pits. Back when I was competing, I felt that unfairness of a close fight getting decided by a stoppage more times than I'd like. The gap between Ryde and Redding is only a few tenths, and in a world where the top 15 are within a second of each other, you can't afford a single mistake from corner entry to exit. What a thrilling race.

After a red-flag stoppage, how do things get handled, like standings and all that?
Whether they roll back to the lap before the stoppage to finalize results or restart the race is decided case by case.
Fans watching live must have been disappointed by that stoppage.
Seeing Redding still hanging in there, this BSB season looks like it's shaping up to be a good one.
It's frustrating when the cause of a red flag isn't clearly stated.
With 2 laps to go, it was probably tied to another rider's crash.
You can already see the reigning champ Ryde showing his strength at this point.
Having a Ryde-vs-Redding showdown cut short by a red flag has to feel anticlimactic.
