Kennedy had set the early benchmark in the Supersport class by going fastest in the opening Free Practice session on Friday, following up with second place in the second session. Team-mate Dean Harrison, returning to the Quattro British Supersport Championship after his two TT wins a fortnight earlier, was ninth fastest in both sessions.

In Qualifying, Kennedy was second once again with Harrison setting ninth fastest time for the third consecutive session. At the start of the race, Kennedy got away cleanly and slotted into second place, chivvying the leader until the halfway point when he made his move. 

In a battle of handling versus horsepower, the Irishman used every inch of the circuit and kept his cool despite intense pressure to deliver a crucial victory in his title defence - the 12th at Snetterton in his illustrious career. Harrison meanwhile was embroiled in some fast and furious pack racing, taking the chequered flag in eighth place.

The senior Superbike class had seen both Bridewell and team-mate Andrew Irwin setting competitive times in all three of their Free Practice sessions. Irwin’s times weren’t quite fast enough to keep him out of the first Qualifying session shootout for a shot at the front of the grid, in which he was comfortably the fastest, and he would ultimately line up in 14th place.

Bridewell meanwhile put his Fireblade in fourth position on the grid and made a strong start, making his way up to third and using his racecraft to deliver his and Honda’s best result of the 2025 BSB season. Irwin also began strongly and was challenging for 11th when a collision forced him out.
