'I HAVE to PERFORM, that's the REALITY' - ANDREW IRWIN

This week's guest has had a difficult time over the last 12 months in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship. After sustaining a career-threatening injury during the Knockhill test in '23, coupled with helping develop a brand-new Honda Fireblade for ’24, it’s not been an easy time for the likeable Northern Irishman. The good news is the Fireblade is working extremely well and even better news is he’s as fit as he’s ever been and more importantly, he’s happy, and a happy rider is a fast rider as Knockhill would prove! Ladies and gentlemen, it's Andrew Irwin!

He's rapid and strikes me as a decent lad, he just needs to keep his cool in the heat of battle I think.

[@spence4lesssmith438]

Great guest really enjoy his enthusiasm, so hope he gets back to where he deserves to be, winning 👌

[@user-kq9gq2xq2f]

Andrews ability is not in question. He just needs a few good rides like the Knockhill result and he will be consistently up there. Tommy Bridewell will take some beating in my eyes. He's full of confidence. To come from riding a Ducati for so long and do what he's done is unbelievable. The Honda is improving every weekend. I'm hoping for a Bridewell Honda title for 2024.

You’ll hear more about the BSB Honda Fireblade from next week’s guest… 😉

A great interview , Andrew is a very talented Guy have no doubt the results will come.

[@buzzybee8463]

We all know Andrew has the speed and the race craft and when he puts it all together he will be winning again 👍😊

[@crumblymal8479]

First time I have heard Andrew speak really and what a great down to earth guy honest and says it like it is very impressed with the whole conversation just a fantastic watch these are better than any TV program well done as per guys fabulous many thanks👌👍 .

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thanks so much, CM! Always appreciate your kind words about the guests and the show. Andrew is a class act and he was so good to sit with and the way he opened up showed the measure of the man 😊

[@adrianwilson3220]

What a genuine nice bloke , cracking interview so so honest. Knock hill he was on the podium in race 1 but then two DNFs. I love the term “ my season has been bipolar “. Keep them coming Dave

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thanks Adrian, really kind of you. Andrew has had his share of knocks and knockers over the last few seasons that’s a fact. I was pleasantly surprised and grateful as to how open he was given that he’s ordinarily quite reserved and does most of his talking on the track.

Listened yesterday and just watched some of it back this morning, loved Andrew's answer to my question about how he thinks he's matured, and I think he's now starting to become the polished rider we all know he can be..once he's back up the front, I suspect a lot of people will be surprised by just how fast he is!

[@user-sm1mx2qb5c]

Great podcast as always. Love the passion Andrew has for the sport 👌 best wishes to him for the new season 👍

[@ianparsons5054]

Another great show, insights into Andrew, and chuckles, nothing more needed.

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thank you, Ian - that means a lot 🙌🏼 see you at Cadwell in August, mate

[@ianparsons5054]

@@OffTrack_Podcast looking forward to it, you'll find me at Chris curve gate 😜

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

@ianparsons5054 Haha I know exactly where to find you before you even said it 😁

[@graemebarr75]

Particularly enjoyed this one as a fan of Andrew’s riding. Great to see him back up at the front and on the pace at Knockhill. Hopefully will lead to a run of better luck.

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Hopefully the corner has been turned, Graeme - I’d like to see the Snetterton weekend back up the the efforts of Knockhill ✊🏼

[@neiltitley2468]

What a top bloke, came across really well; wish him all the very best for the remainder of the season!

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Agreed, Neil! I’m sure there are more podiums to come in ‘24 🙌🏼
