Makes an apology then goes on to blame everyone but himself!

[@richardmessenger9474]

First thing I noticed..started blaming everyone else for slowing down for a corner...you couldn't make it up...

[@nitramdoow91]

haha ye weird apology

[@Daveybob]

Take responsibility Tommy, dangerous enough sport without poor riding and even poorer excuses.

Anyone else noticed that it's never Bridewells fault, always someone else.

So nothing his fault eh. Bridewell, clearly a tool who can't admit he was wrong.

[@neilmurdoch6049]

Top marks to the marshall for pulling Glen away.......naughty from Tommy ........

[@t.0mmz115]

the people telling Irwin had to calm down, please hahahaha. In the heat of the moment, fighting for a championship, get taken out by your teammate (racing incident or not) OFC he is pissed and reacts the way he does.

[@williamrae9954]

Likes threatening to beat people up...of any gender...a vile human! Must have a good PR team?

[@mightyboognish6579]

Used to like Bridewell but his behaviour the past few weeks has been embarrassing

100%

Made himself unwelcome in that team. That's why he's no longer there. Gimp

Nooooooooo , Whitham getting a touch excited

My man actually roared!!! 😂😂😂

[@Wilko-ig7el]

If someone hits you from behind its there fault? To be honest im loving it though, hes done us all a favour the last round is gonna be nuts. Headphones in before the race Irwin, eye of the tiger Ryde, the jaws soundtrack, da da da da Bridwell, shaggy it wasnt me

[@howardthrust]

So, Bridewell makes what IS indeed an amazing run up through the pack to catch Irwin...running his tires off in the process; but figures his best shot at keeping the points chase close is to take Irwin out before going backwards any further...and he doesn't get at LEAST a One-Race Suspension??!!!

[@TTH77]

No professional motorcycle Racer ever ever deliberately takes another rider out as it always ends badly for both riders. If you bothered to ever listen to the likes of Shakey & Whitham they always hammer this point home. Anybody that's been on any race track no matter what the level would no this. So completely off the mark no matter who's side your on.

[@howardthrust]

Thanks for sharing your opinion; but I've seen "Professional Racers" do this kind of thing in the "heat of the moment" all too often...including "teammates". Hey, they're just humans, too. @ any rate, hopefully the "Karma Gods" were watching; and that Glenn continues on "The High Road". Between that recent shunt behind the pace car...and now THIS...Bridewell starts to look the part of a "villain". Guess it takes all kinds, huh?@@TTH77

[@dingdong289]

Sorry Tommy, supported you all year but sportsmanship must win above all. Glen all the way 👍👍👍

[@user33755]

Nothing screams sportsmanship like pushing the head of a down rider who could have injuries. Bridewell for the win.

[@gillkelly9864]

Irwin never laid a finger on him.

😂😂😂 Did you watch the incident then he proceeded to blame everyone else? The pressure is getting to Tommy, and it is showing .

[@NodbodRS]

Pressure is building with tommy, was your mistake, own it. What next will he do.

Don’t want PBM to win full stop tbh.

Bridewell is a proper snake, that day won him the title.

Wee freddy in the background if you dont know Glenn's nephew

[@jimmypage9283]

Is it just me or if you do not have Eurosport, you will not be able to see the final round on Quest or DMax this Sunday? If so, why?! This is the first season in quite some time where you have not been able to see the final race weekend of the season on Quest especially. I only mentioned DMax as that had the live Snooker sessions on over the past week. Seriously, can someone who makes the commercial decisions reconsider this? You have fans of all different budgets.

[@Chrissss205]

😂😂 Bridewell thinks he Banger racing.

[@Dukey39]

Yeah he did it intentionally didn't he ffs lol

A year later loses the title and has a go at Irwin😂😂😂😂

[@commonsensicle2231]

Just a racing accident, but this ridiculous idea of sticking your leg out doesn't help, Should only be allowed if alone and not surrounded by other riders

[@erinrose1995]

The ridiculous idea of sticking your leg out ! I take it you mean sticking your leg out to shift centre of gravity of bike under heavy braking ? Rossi started it. It’s called the Doctors dangler.

[@mozer30]

If it didn’t help then racers wouldn’t use it and conserve the energy. It’s a technique used right across the board from nationals to GP level.

[@martynflynn8368]

It's called " the Rossi rudder" dontchaknow???

[@darrenjohn3520]

Glen Irwin’s reaction were nothing but disgusting. Tommy’s comments were right, erratic riding by Glen. Sure Tommy made a mistake caught in the moment but undoubtedly the fastest man on the track in that race. R.I.P Paul Bird

[@patmays7344]

He had nowhere to go, no option but, to hit him. I’m sorry, I agree with him, it was a racing incident, Glenn Irwin has no call to go on the way he did! He needs to calm down a bit? And I’ve watched him over the past few years, and he is an erratic, rider.

[@martynflynn8368]

Yep, runs in the family, you only have to look at Andrews history.

[@Theoriginalramjammer]

A mark of the man was his first instinct to go over to a fallen rider and kick stones at his face in the gravel. Glen Irwin should be ashamed at his reaction. He needs to watch that back and learn. The crash was a racing incident. Unfortunate but that is all it was.

[@Leightonk]

Racing incident, move on, the irwins have a disgusting attitude when it's not there fault, what short memories they have, TB46 for the win, but if not him ANYONE but irwin !

[@davidhale8034]

That is racing but you don't go an hit anyone thats on the ground that's not on. Go Tommy.

[@jfoz7602]

He didn’t hit him behave 🤣

[@adambritain5774]

That’s fine then as he never hit him.

[@kennethrobey7893]

Racing incident it’s racing !!! Naive from Tommy to think he could get his bike stopped for the hairpin safely…… but believe him when he said Irwin kept accelerating then shutting the throttle abruptly, especially after Irwin admitting at the start of the season that he pointed at Brooke’s bike making like there was something wrong with it when there wasn’t…….
