Rory Skinner gave the Knockhill crowd a weekend they’ll never forget, sealing a stunning victory in the final race of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship.
The Perth star capped off a dream run on home soil with three podium finishes that had fans roaring from the fences.
After opening with a strong third-place finish in race one and pushing through to second in race two, Skinner saved the best for last.
In front of thousands of passionate supporters, he stormed to victory in the final race, crossing the line to deafening cheers and the sound of O Flower of Scotland echoing over the Fife circuit.
It was a career-defining moment for the 22-year-old, who delivered Cheshire Mouldings Ducati their first-ever win with the Italian manufacturer.
He also brought an end to Bradley Ray’s dominant streak, doing it with sheer grit and a fearless ride that had every corner of the track on their feet.
The victory was emotional not just for Skinner, but for the whole home crowd, many of whom had followed his journey from local hopeful to national contender.
The podium was packed with storylines, as Fraser Rogers claimed a career-first Bennetts BSB podium with TAG Honda, rounding out a race packed with pride, heart and drama.
But the day belonged to Skinner.
With the win, he now sits third overall in the 2025 championship standings, tightening the title race behind leader Bradley Ray and reigning champion Kyle Ryde.
It’s a clear signal of intent from the young Scot, who continues to carve out his legacy on the biggest stage in British motorsport.
For Knockhill, it was more than just a race weekend.
It was a celebration of homegrown talent, national pride and the electrifying magic of seeing one of your own take it all the way.
