Glenn Irwin’s “timely” return to Ducati is something to be “very grateful” for, he says.
After a challenging 2025 BSB season, Glenn Irwin is grateful to be returning to Ducati machinery for 2026, feeling it offers him a fresh opportunity.
Irwin had success challenging for the BSB title with PBM Ducati in 2023 and 2024, but struggled on the Yamaha R1 in 2025 after a practice crash forced a switch to Nitrous Competitions.
Moving back to Ducati for 2026 fills Irwin with determination and motivation, as he aims to recapture his winning form with a manufacturer he had previous success with.
Excited for the new Panigale V4 R, Irwin looks forward to pre-season preparations and believes his team can come back stronger for the upcoming season.
