Irwin back on the rostrum

Carrick rider Graeme Irwin was back on the rostrum at round three of the MX Nationals at Culham.

After qualifying the Heads and All Threads Suzuki second-fastest, he finished as runner-up in race one and in race two.

Second overall leaves him second in the championship with fellow East Antrim rider Martin Barr in third.

“I got a bad start in the first race, and it took me a while to get going,” said Irwin It wasn’t until the last third of the race that I started to be consistent. I was riding good, but when you’re behind people you can’t really get going.
