British Superbikes: Irish riders aiming to continue winning tradition in support classes

Several riders from Northern Ireland and the island of Ireland as a whole will be aiming to keep up the tradition of Irish success in the British Superbike support classes this year.

In the last two years alone NI racers have picked up three titles, Keith Farmer and Eunan McGlinchey triumphing in 2018 and Korie McGreevy in 2019.

While Glenn, Andrew and Graeme Irwin, plus Keith Farmer, Jack Kennedy and Brian McCormack may attract most headlines in the feature BSB class in 2020, others will be looking to further establish their reputations in their respective series, now scheduled over six rounds, starting on 7-9 August.

Glenn and Andrew Irwin should contend strongly for BSB podiums as Honda Racing team-mates, while Graeme will hope for some strong results in only his second season in tarmac racing on board a Kawasaki.

Fit-again Clogher rider Farmer has targeted a top-10 position in the championship on his return to action, while Dubliner Kennedy will aim to make a major impact in the 1000cc class as part of the TAG Yamaha squad after collecting the British Supersport crown for the last two years.

Waterford man McCormack makes a return to the BSB paddock for the first time in 12 years, having concentrated his efforts mainly on road racing in recent years.
