Glenn Irwin: Northern Ireland rider 15th and 17th with new team at Thruxton

Glenn Irwin finished 15th and 17th in two races with his new team OMG Racing Yamaha at Thruxton in the British Superbike Championship on Sunday.

Irwin registered a 16th-place finish on Saturday in his first race back from injury and with his new team after leaving PBM Ducati.

The 35-year-old then claimed 15th in the sprint race and 17th in the final race of the weekend at the Hampshire circuit.

Yamaha’s Danny Kent topped the podium after victories in race two and three of the weekend.

Those results resulted in Northern Ireland rider Irwin dropping three places to 14th in the BSB standings, 16 points off joint leaders Bradley Ray and Irwin’s new team-mate Kyle Ryde.

He will next be in action at Cadwell Park on 23-25 August.
