G💃lenn Irwin has confirmed his immediate🧔 retirement from road racing.

"I achiꦺeved so much more in my short tenure than I ever dreamed of," Irwin said in♏ his announcement.

Irwin, aged 34ꦍ, has won 11 races at the North West 200.

But he wants to stop road racing to focus on winning the♍ British Superbike Championship.

Irwin finished second last year in the BSB chaꦇmpionship, and third this year.

He missed out in 2023 after a brilliant rivalry wit൩h Tommy Bridꦓewell. Kyle Ryde won the title this year.

The PBM Ducati rider i✅ntends to return with a renewed focus to claim the 2025 BSB title.

But, in order to do so, he ღwon't go road racing again.

Irwiꦕn steps away from road racing as the most successful rider𝔉 in the North West 200's Superbike class.

He won three races at this year's North West 200.

His road racing career included a single appearance at the Isle of Man TT, two years ago. He also raced at the Ulster Grand Prix at the start of his🐓 cไareer.

But Irwin will now give hisꦆ sole focus to circuit racing and he locks horns with Bridewell and Ryde again in 2025.
