Caolan Irwin (main pic) making his return and (inset) Rhys Irwnin also in action at the weekend
Kilmacrennan motorcyclist Caolan Irwin made his return to action after 18 months out following a crash in 2023.
Irwin was absent from the sport after a crash at Silverstone.
At the weekend, Irwin debuted the RK Burrows Racing Aprilia at Snetterton and will be out again this weekend at Brands Hatch.
Irwin had little time to settle into the Aprilia and he finished his weekend in P10 in a full grid race.
“Delighted to be back and fit to race again,” he said.
“I am only getting going and will be racing selected events this season and get back to a full season next year.”
His brother Rhys Irwin had another strong weekend in Cadwell Park at Round 6 of the British Superbikes Race calendar.
With pleasant weather conditions, Irwin settled into FP1 & 2 with some mechanical gremlins continuing leaving him P9 over the weekend.
“This weekend saw a real hard weekend for the whole team,” he said.
“They have worked so hard to give me the perfect set up but we had a wee persistent mechanical. I couldn't be happier with my new Team and we got valuable points over the two races so I am leaving happy.”
