Glenn Irwin will return with PBM Racing for the 2024 British⛦ Superbikes season.

There had been uncertainty over t꧙he future of the rider, and the team, due to the death of Paul Biജrd last September.

Under Bi𝓡rd's leadership, his 🀅team won nine BSB titles, 138 race wins and achieved 175 race podiums and 98 pole positions.

But his child𓂃ren, twins Jordan and Frank, will take over the team and will welcome Irwin back for the new season.

Irwin was last year's BSB runner-up behind Tommy Bri𝓰dewell, who has now joined Hondaဣ.

Irwin will be the only PBM Racing rider in BSB this year, rid༺ing a D൩ucati Panigale V4R.

Irwin said: “For the people reading this it must be a relief as I have 🍌been inundated with messages from fans asking me about what I am doing this season, which hasꦓ been really nice and I am so grateful for their support. 

"It might sound like a cliché, but there was never really anywhere el🍃se I wanted to be, despite interest from elsewhere when🐭 there was some uncertainty, my heart and attention was always to remain with PBM.

“To touch on last year, we had an amazing season working together, and after four years apart we came back together and I think in that time I have gღrown up and matured. 

"The team went through a lot last year, but it was also an amazing year and the championship was one of the most exciting in history and I am extremely grateful to have been a part of that. It didn’t work out in my fa🌠vour as such, but it doesn’t take🍸 any of the sweetness away from it because we had great success.

“I believe and full expect myself to be fighting for ꧙the championship from the off, but we also have to understand some changes and we will have to adapt. 

"It certainly isn’t just a case of roll the dice like last year, we have a lot of work to do and I think it is imp🍌ortant that we are notꦐ complacent. We do our work, and then I think we can certainly be in for a lot of race wins and success ahead.

“I started my Superbike career with PBM and as much as it𝓰 is a new era with Jordan and Frank as my bosses now, I w🉐ill never separate the first part of the PBM chapter to this one. 

"I had my first pole position, first podium and first win with the team, but ther꧑e are a few things I want to achieve. First off, it is to win the British Superbike Championship and secondly to retain it, they are the two things I want to achieve with PBM.

Team Owners Jordan and Frank Bird Junior added: “We are delighted to confirm that the PBM team will be back on the grid this seaso🍎n. It has obviously been a real emotional rollercoaster for us and we are so proud of what the whole team achieved last year, ending the sea⭕son on a high with a one-two in the standings.

“The 𒁃PBM team remain fully committed to the championship and after a lot of uncertainty over the last few months we are delighted that Glenn returns as we begin the next chapter for PBM. 

"He has a long-standing history with the team – from making his Superbike debut, to a first🍎 podium and his first race win in the championship. We hope that together we can add a Championship title to that this season!

“We want to take this opportunity to thank our partners and fans for their continued support and we are now looking 🀅forward to the future of PBM and keeping Dad’s memory alive.”
