Aeziah Divine came within a heartbeat of a podium finish as the opening weekend of the 2026 ZYN British Superbike Championship delivered high drama, heavy attrition, and a fiercely contested R&G MOTO4 British Cup finale.
Riding for Fibre Tec Honda–By MLav Racing, Divine completed the 12‑lap charge in 21:41.082, securing 4th place and finishing just 0.067 seconds shy of third. The race was ultimately won by Ryan Frost, with Divine ending 20.152 seconds behind the leader after a chaotic contest that saw incidents scattered throughout the field.
Despite the turbulence around him, Divine carved out one of the standout performances of the weekend, engaging in a relentless battle with George Bowes as the pair surged toward the podium fight.
Speaking after the race, Divine reflected on the intensity of the final outing:
“That final race was definitely an interesting one. There were many crashes up and down the field throughout the entire race. I worked hard to stay focused while pushing ahead. I had an awesome race battling and moving forward with George Bowes as we climbed up to the podium fight.”
The closing laps produced one of the tightest finishes of the day, with Divine missing out on third by a fraction:
“We had a very close race all the way to the line. It ended with me taking 4th – just 0.067 seconds off the podium.”
He was quick to credit the team for their preparation and support:
“Massive thank you to the team for setting me up and giving me the perfect bike to run. I wouldn’t be able to do this without everyone at Fibre Tec Honda – MLav Racing.”
