Despite a scary crash at Brands Hatch, Andrew Irwin is ready to tackle Thruxton this weekend with Honda Racing UK.

In the final race of the weekend at Brands Hatch, Andrew Irwin suffered a huge crash that destroyed his Honda Racing UK machine.

However, the Northern Irishman will be on the grid this weekend for Round Six of the British Superbike Championship at Thruxton.

Thruxton was a difficult weekend for Irwin in 2024, as he only finished two of the three races, and was in 14th and ninth in the races he did finish.

"I was a little bit stiff after the crash at Brands Hatch but it was fine," Irwin said ahead of Round Six of the British Superbike season.

"I was more annoyed that we were in such a good position after a strong weekend, and a small mistake had such a big price that destroyed the bike.

"At Thruxton, we just have to keep working the same method, the same way of working, and make sure that this weekend is another positive step through the mid-part of this season.

"You have to be smart at Thruxton and look after the tyres, so it’s always a race of two halves where you’re managing things for the first half before a sprint to the finish. It should be a strong track for the Honda Fireblade but we just have to stay calm and continue on from where we got to at Brands Hatch.

"I feel good, healthy and happy, so I’m looking forward to a race that’s sort of become my home round since moving to Bristol!"

After five rounds of the 2025 British Superbike Championship, Andrew Irwin finds himself 15th in the standings with 55 points and a best result of seventh place, which he has secured twice.
