Overview

• Glenn Irwin and Hager PBM Ducati mutually terminated their contract on August 5 ahead of the sixth round of the British Superbike Championship after disagreeing over his planned Thruxton return.
• PBM management argued that Irwin, who suffered serious injuries at Snetterton in June, should sit out at least until after Round 7 at Cadwell Park to prevent further complications.
• Irwin says he passed all stage-one medical checks, has been declared orthopedically fit and resumed full riding duties over the past week.
• Scott Redding replaced Irwin for Rounds 4 and 5 and is set to remain with PBM for the remainder of the season.
• A six-year PBM veteran with 19 wins and 23 podiums, Irwin is now seeking alternative seats to make an immediate return to competition.
