Andrew Irwin was back on the Bennetts British Superbike Championship podium at Cadwell Park last time out and the Honda Racing UK rider claimed a brace of top three finishes, his first of the season.
Irwin’s podium haul and teammate Tommy Bridewell’s first win of the season came just ahead of next weekend’s four-race battle at Donington Park, with the team now seeking to carry the momentum into next weekend’s final round of the Main Season.
Irwin said: “Cadwell is definitely the best weekend I’ve had in more recent years and it was really nice to be back and have a competitive weekend. Obviously, the team did a good job to make me feel more at home with the bike and I made a step with myself and probably in the last five or six weeks we’ve been consistent and building.
“The three podiums at Cadwell were really nice, we look forward to Donington Park now. I’m not getting ahead of myself, I go there with the same expectations, which I do for each and every round which is to be as close to the top-six as possible and be inside it.
“Donington is obviously a track I’ve been fast at in the past, I’ve won I think three races there and the last time I won there was in 2020, so it’s been five years and I’d love to win a race again. I think we need to just keep staying realistic and keep working hard between the races, the team will keep working hard, so between the rounds and try to be as ready as we can be.”
