Victory and second for Honda Racing UK at Donington Park

Glenn Irwin

40 points, that’s what we look at this weekend and take away with us. Race 2 we had the crash, and I dislocated my shoulder, but you know we're not superhuman and this happens. I’m overwhelmed with everyone, like ‘you’re a hero’ but honestly on the bike I was fine, a little sore changing direction. I wouldn’t change that result in Race 3, my boys did a great job, the front tyre was a last-minute call, I don’t know if someone was looking over us but something made me want to change. I don’t normally feel comfortable in those conditions, but we done it and it’s been a great weekend. Eurosport did a fantastic feature on myself this weekend, I’m grateful for being able to talk about mental health and show that the official BSB team riders are all in this together, and to anyone who is struggling, if I bounce back today, you guys can overcome a lot more.

I was able to score my first BSB points, two races in a row. In Race 3, I had to use intermediate tyres for the first time in my racing career and it took me a while to understand them, so I was not able to improve my pace in the beginning. But this weekend I was able to meet my goal of improving my time in each session, and I'm making steady progress, so I'll continue to do my best with a smile on my face!

In Race2 I was riding a bit faster than my personal best time but halfway through I started to suffer arm pump and I couldn't keep my lap time. In the end I couldn't control the bike properly and crashed in the last corner, so I am sorry to the team. In Race 3, when I went to the grid, my engine stalled and I went to the escape zone because I didn't understand what happened. Then the engine started, and I managed to start the race from the pits. However, I retired from the race because of my delay to start, the lead group had caught me and was behind. Now I understand what happened at the start and I'll try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

After what happened yesterday it made me more determined for the win, on paper I won the race, I rode my heart out and I was gutted to have it taken away from me. To lead today’s race from the first corner to the chequered flag was the perfect way to end the weekend and prove that I deserved to win. We’re joint first in the championship now with points, which I never expected coming into the weekend 37 points down. We head to Cadwell Park now, which is my home round and I know we can have a really strong weekend. This is a turning point for my championship hopes and I hope we can keep this good momentum going.
