But he t🍬hen explained how he is trying to adapt his style🌞.
“This year I had a bit of a dﷺifferent winter,” ❀Irwin said.
“I rode my pit bike a lot more, and just worked on body position. I changed my training🍌 a lot.
“It’s nice to get reacquainted with the guys. You want to get comfortable on the bike, and evaluate how the body feels after making physic🔜al changes.
“It haꦑs been enjoyable. The new segment is really en🧸joyable.
“T10 is now really fast right-hander. A lot of the guys are having fun through it. Th💫is may be our job but we like having fun on bikes!
“After that, it has character. 12, 13🤪 and 14 is different to what I’ve ever rode. Kudos to the track.
“The fastest aspect doesn’t matter. I just wanted to get comforta♊ble with the bike, and reacquainted to these Superꦍbikes which are fast into T1.
“It’s nice to feel🌌 comfortable, and we are comfortable in ourselves. We aren’t too worried aboutꦡ lap times.”
Irwin has retired from road racing meaning that BSB will be his full ♍focus in 2025.
He has twice finished as runner-up, to Brad 𓄧Ray in 2022 and Bridewell in 2023. He was third last year behind champion Kyle Ryde and Bridewell.
