Irwin returned to racing at Thruxton after injury layoff
After feeling like he’d been hit by a bus upon returning from injury to British Superbikes at Thruxton, Glenn Irwin also debuted with the renamed Nitrous Competitions Racing team. Following a severe crash in June which required pelvic surgery, the 2023 title runner-up had a disagreement with his former team, Paul Bird Motorsport, leading to a mutual split. Irwin then signed with reigning champions OMG Racing, now running under the Nitrous Racing banner, and switched from Ducati to Yamaha for the remainder of the 2025 season. Despite managing top 20 results at Thruxton, including finishes of 16th, 15th, and 17th in respective races, Irwin described the weekend as “physically tough” on Instagram. Looking ahead, Irwin aims to continue building momentum from his Thruxton comeback at the next BSB round in August at Cadwell Park.
