Glenn Irwin’s consistency at the previous round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship, elevated him up a position in the overall standings to fifth and the Honda Racing UK rider is bidding for a strong performance at the team’s home round at Cadwell Park this weekend.
There are now just six races remaining before the Showdown, with three at Cadwell Park and a further three at Snetterton, and the Honda Racing UK rider knows is targeting home success for the Louth-based team in his bid to consolidate his position.
Irwin said: “It’s great to head into round seven this weekend at Cadwell Park, the team’s home race. We are up to fifth in the championship with an eye on fourth so I can’t wait to feed off all the local support for Honda Racing. Cadwell nearly feels like my local due to the time spent in Louth with the team.
“Thruxton was a consistent weekend which has been a trend for this season, silverware was the target but the level this year is so high and to be best of the rest in two out of three races shows the steps that myself and the Honda Fireblade have made.
“I’m excited to get on track this weekend, the Honda works good at Cadwell and with the chassis improvements of late I think we can build on last season’s results.
“Qualifying will as always be key to Cadwell and the Superpole format for this weekend is a welcomed addition!”
