Glenn Irwin Aims to Become Northern Ireland’s Inaugural British Superbike Champion

Glenn Irwin, who was just half a point shy of the 2023 title, believes his prospects in the British Superbike Championship are promising as he endeavors to secure his first championship. The 34-year-old from Carrickfergus will now dedicate his focus to the series, having declared his retirement from road racing on Sunday. Irwin was edged out for the 2023 title by Tommy Bridewell and concluded this year’s standings in third place. “The next two years in BSB are as healthy as what they have ever been,” Irwin commented. He further stated his objective: “My goal is to be Northern Ireland’s first Superbike champion. When I do I’ll have completed everything I want to do in bike racing and then it will be about adding to that.” Irwin rode for the PBM Ducati team in 2024 but has yet to formally disclose which team he will be riding for next year. “I love PBM – we’ve had 18 Superbike wins in the last two years, five Superbike win at he North West 200 and all the other success.” He continued, “I want to continue – things look pretty good but there’s a few things to get over the line. There’s always interest from other teams and I’m sure everyone is after a ride with PBM.”
