Glenn Irwin, winner of the Sunflower Trophy last year will
make a return to the Bishopscourt race circuit for the 40th annual Sunflower
Motor Cycle Races, which take place on Friday 20th and Saturday 21st October.
Glenn Irwin who
recently extended his agreement with Paul Bird for 2018, is a rider with outstanding talent who has had a stellar
career to date, including securing his first ever BSB Superbike win on his PBM
Be Wiser Ducati at the recent Silverstone round.
Glenn also had a great outing at this year's Vauxhall
International North West 200, taking first at the main Superbike race, after an
epic battle with Carrickfergus rider Alastair Seeley.
Glenn is also the lap record holder for the Bishopscourt
race circuit, when he became the first rider to lap the circuit at over 100mph at
the corresponding event last year.
Speaking ahead of the event, Glenn had this to say:
“I'm really excited to get to race at home again this
season. I thoroughly enjoyed the reception I got at the North West 200 and
racing at home is something I thrive on. I don't take the Sunflower light
heartedly and will be coming to defend my crown and put on a show.
Competition looks strong with other BSB riders coming and
not forgetting the local lads who on their day could rise to the challenge.
Let's hope rain hail or snow we have a large crowd supporting us. Special
thanks must go to the boss Paul Bird and Dennis Wilson from the Hillsborough
Club, without these two people it wouldn't be possible.”
