'This is the TRUTH' - GLENN IRWIN

At Ducati Preston's recent Open Day we sat down with Glenn to talk about that incredibly intense '23 Bennetts British Superbike season, his thoughts on his time at the Isle of Man TT, his love for the NW200 and his recently announced ride for '24 with the new PBM Racing Team.
Strap in, it's quite the journey!
Enjoy!

The best most honest interview from a racer I've seen,fantastic

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thanks so much, Rob 🙏🏼

[@SpondonChris.]

Glenn was my nephews team mate at MWR, sadly my nephew passed away racing at Cadwell in a BSB support class. Glenn has always been a class act and he always remembers me on the rare occasions i see him. This was a great interview and a fabulous insight in to the man he has become. Best of luck Glenn for this year.....

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

That was a very very sad weekend with the loss of Ben, Chris. I can’t imagine what your family went through. He’s certainly not forgotten. Thank you for your kind words on the show 🙂

[@SpondonChris.]

Thank you mate, i stopped going to the racing for a few years but i do go to Oulton Park the odd time for BSB now.@@OffTrack_Podcast

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

@@SpondonChris. Understandable completely, Chris. Nice to know you’ve been back to a meeting or two more recently.

[@kawi704racing]

The fact that the podcast circled back and ended on the Raul Torras story is kinda powerful. Great podcast. Glenn is a legend.

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thank you, that’s kind of you to say. It was a special story 🙏🏼

[@ashc_4889]

Must say I really warm to Glenn this year! Top bloke

[@pauladdison3189]

Brilliant interview Dave. Loved every second. Glen, so much information in to last season. Much respect to you both. 🙏

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thank you so much, Paul 🙌🏼

[@alanssnackbardailyrelaxati8155]

Great interview Dave. Best of luck to pbm and Glenn for 2024.

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thanks Alan! Much appreciated, mate 🙏🏼

[@FunAllDayLong4353]

I can see why Glenn trains so hard! Most people couldn't talk with that intensity for more than an hour! 😁😁

[@Kawatriple123]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Glenn so relaxed, great interview 😀

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thankfully we’ve know each other a long time so that helps a bit and I really appreciate that he was so honest and relaxed on the show 🙏🏼 thanks for your kind words 🙂

[@joeturner7453]

Glen is such a hard fair fast beast of a rider ! i was lucky to have met n chatted to him here at the TT what a stand up honest lad and fookin fast ! family of amazing riders the irwin's 🙌🏼🏍️🇮🇲#BSB2025 champ 🏁

[@zinzanontour.1006]

what a great podcast could sit and listen to glen all day what a great outlook at life.

[@GMak81]

Powerful and fascinating interview. Can't help but like Glenn. Interviewer just lets him flow with his thoughts as well which was great. Thanks.

[@jfoz7602]

Fantastic interview. Big respect for Glenn 👊🔥

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thanks for your kind words 🙂 yeah he’s a grand fella 🙏🏼

[@TheScortUK]

Glenn is such a top bloke, a huge talent, and a really nice bloke as well

[@crumblymal8479]

So good Dave great job and good to hear from Glenn , I will say I was happy to see Tommy win the championship last season I come from the same part of the country and I do like him .Having said that I can be happy for Glenn to win this year I get the whole ultra competitive atmosphere in BSB and all races when it's as intense as last year was things are bound to be strained . Bit uncomfortable with the whole no 46 thing not good but it in the past now . Glenn very open guy hope things go well for him this year it's gonna be good , and great honesty on the IOM much enjoyed guys well done .👌👍

[@alexlindsay9242]

Great watch and to me very honest

[@grahamoakley11]

Pure entertainment, I could listen to this man all day long, such passion, unfortunately misread on so many occasions, he’s gotta be 2024 BSB champion, thank you for a fantastic interview.

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thanks Graham, he’s a great fella. And you’re very welcome 😊

[@mikerider58]

During my chemotherapy last year, l the pleasure of meeting Glenn Irwin, a true gentleman. Glenn picked me up, he made me feel better, we took photos 📸 which I'll always treasure because Glenn Irwin is a Road Racing Super Star. Thanks Glenn .

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Mike thanks so much for sharing your story and I hope things are great for you now and long may that continue 🙂

[@iainbroughton3186]

Great interview Dave, what a great guy Glenn is. Thank you

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Absolutely our pleasure, Iain! Happy that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@glenhorrocks2510]

Excellent guy,good pod cast,good luck for 24 season Glen

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thanks, Glen 🙌🏼

[@mattmid7012]

Brilliant interview. Really hope he can go one better this season.

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thanks, Matt. It won’t be through lack of trying, that’s for sure ✊🏼

[@andrewmallard2301]

Dave, I wish you could ask Glenn about the soles of his shoes. Lot of time for the Irwin family, whether Alan, Glenn, Andrew or Graeme. All are very capable MX riders, but on the roads, they really come into their own.

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

I’ll find out for you, Andrew 😁 he might even tell you himself if he sees this! Glad you enjoyed the show 🙏🏼

[@manx1569]

Great honesty about the TT, although I'm not sure Hickman has been pushing to the limits Glenn suggest you need to push to, maybe this last year when Michael was pushing him but he usually appears well within his limits

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

It’s a fine line, isn’t it? How much more do these boys have left in them? They’re definitely pushing but some can and are prepared to push harder than others, same as it has always been. Thank you for your kind words 😊

[@JordzRacing]

Another Awesome vid Dave :) Hope to see you around the paddock this year

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Much appreciated! Yeah we’ll be around most of the season 😉

[@pclark6068]

Fair enough explanation of the number post, have to admit I didn’t like this when I saw it and thought Irwin was a bit of a d… for doing it… you would hope Tommy would also apologise 🤷‍♂️ but fair play for coming out and saying this

[@rekzkat]

Foggy seemed to need to be at war with the opposition, Glenn says he doesn't get that but gets on well with Foggy, who like Tommy was motivated by conflict. Go Glenn, go in 24.

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Foggy is a lot more chilled out these days 😁 I was thinking that as Glenn was telling me but didn’t get chance to say it 😊

[@anthonyfairlcough3888]

That was brilliant lad's all the very best for 2024 Glenn get it 🏆 and on the start line at the TT get me very time when me mate sets off but it's magic.

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

It’s the most incredible place, isn’t it?! Thanks for your kind words, Anthony ✊🏼

[@oldmanonamotorbikeinbucks7604]

great Interview, lovely guy, so let's say it, Bridewell rode a dirty tricks Season... Glenn was the true Champion...

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Kind words, thank you so much 😊

[@5davi524]

Brilliant

[@nigelwatts2804]

I would like to know why they picked Glen over Tommy for 2024 as he would be carrying the No1 plate on the PBM Ducati nothing against Glen he seem’s a lovely bloke

[@simondick76]

Because Tommy is a trouble maker and they lost all respect for him when he started shouting his big mouth of on the weekend after Paul died. TB is a complete dick!!

[@andrewoverton5170]

I'm one of the neutrals so I'll reserve judgement until Tommy undoubtedly has his say but it's gonna have to be good to recover his standing in my eyes from what I've just heard here. Glen's either a really nice guy or a bloody good actor!

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

The whole situation has polarised opinion, that's for sure Andrew

[@paulricketts5537]

Wow, maybe you should of done the interview hey, grandmaster plank,

[@glennirwin2109]

Thanks Paul. Someone who cannot take an honest interview serious because of their obsessive opinion. :)

[@philmayhem]

wow, really changed my opinion of him has that Interview, and it's interesting to hear some of the background to the issues between him and Tommy in 2023.

[@olithephoto]

……and this is why I love Glenn so much. Open, honest and passionate about his racing. Probably the best Pod you’ve done to date Dave 👍

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thanks Darren, that really means a lot mate 🙌🏼

[@ShaunBotham]

Fans definitely enjoyed 2023. Loved the back and forth you guys had. Couldn't have asked for a better season. Tommy may have won 2023 but on a Honda in 2024? There will be a new winner this year. Best of luck Glenn.

[@davegreenslade4539]

Awesome pod Dave! Glenn is such a good guy I could listen to him all day, good luck for the season Glenn I’ll be cheering ya on pal 👊👊✊️

[@MT09Mike]

I’ve never really heard him speak in-depth, but I take my hat off to him, he speaks so well, he comes across a very intelligent man with good morales.

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thanks, Mike. Yeah Glenn’s a grand fella and very switched on. Glad you enjoyed the show 🙏🏼

[@johnduddy2359]

I like Glenn, I'm a massive North West fan and grew up on the track, and I love to watch him race and win there.. But he's still not taking ownership of all the backchat and snide remarks last season, and deliberately provoking someone who has declared "all out war" on you, and then whinging about how he reacts is childish and petty. Also would be nice to see him do an interview without mentioning manifesting and mindfulness.. And to be blunt, if he was as mindful and in control of his emotions as he makes out: he simply wouldn't have risen to all the provocation from TB last year.

[@glennirwin2109]

Hi mate. I think when you know my story from were I was between 2013-2019 you will understand why I practice mindfulness. I’ll tell it all in a book one day, but from life changing trauma to serious addictions I was in the worst possible place. For that and for my family it’s vital I keep on top of things.

[@johnduddy2359]

​@@glennirwin2109 Appreciate the reply, and I'm not criticising mindfulness or any of those practices, I do a lot of them myself, just the interview approach. And I stand by my comments on the behaviour last season

[@kaygeebee1962]

Shock horror, human beings saying and doing things they shouldn’t in the heat of the moment. Bigger shock, biggest rivals falling out. Personally I’m not going to jump out the pram, it is what it is. All I wish for this season is firstly that all the riders come back safe, and secondly that we get exciting racing. Let’s move on.

[@NodbodRS]

Spot on that, always enjoy listening/watching Glenn. Great news the PBR team are back trackside too.

[@simondick76]

Great interview! Dont listen to the haters, just bitter little people!!

[@adrianwilson3220]

Great pod Dave, you got Glenn at his unguarded most real axed honest self. You would struggle to bet against him, bike, team, self sorted !

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thank you Adrian, he’ll certainly be a threat this year 🙌🏼

[@andytudorjones]

Great podcast, looking forward to when you upload Tommy Bridewells side of the story.

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Hopefully we’ll get chance, thanks Andy 🙏🏼

[@huguesdepayens1070]

Fantastic interview, so insightful and honest. Glenn as well as a superb racer you’re an amazing person. Go and get it in the upcoming season and all the best on your Birthday.

[@Coltwins]

Managed to chat to Glen at the a few years back at the Sunflower...What a lovely lad, very humble, he exudes a passion for racing.. Hope he does himself proud this season..

[@gixxert1100]

What a legend Glenn is. His honesty and natural ability as a short circuit and road racer is exceptional. He was robbed of the BSB championship last year.. Roll on this years Championship.. Best of luck Glenn

[@Allscotfife]

Brilliant interview,Goodluck Glen and pbm this year,hopefully your 2nd to Rory skinner 😂

[@richardpage6522]

Another Grate blog grate to see Glen so positive & honest can’t wait to see him on the bike at BSB & Northwest200 which am going for the 13th year . I wish him the best of luck in 2024 & Tommy too .Bring on 👍

[@colincampbell4261]

I've been watching Glenn improve since his early days on 600's

[@stu600cc]

Great interview. Glenn love or hate him you defo know where you stand. I love that. ❤

[@georgewest3671]

Good luck for 24 Glenn!

[@NickyLong89]

Great couple of pods over the last few days with the PBM team. Glenn definitely gained more fans last year after Tommy’s antics, however you can’t doubt his talent and character that brings something different to the paddock. I do genuinely think Glenn will win it this year, it won’t be easy but I think he knows what it takes now. If not this year then definitely in the future, time is on his side.

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thanks, Nicky! It’s one of the hardest BSB seasons to call this year but no doubt Glenn will be up there challenging 🏁

[@justinebowman8272]

Great podcast, Glens energy really shows..👍

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thanks so much, Justine! 😁

[@farmind6582]

I lost my brother who was my big brother, best friend, irreplaceable, we don’t forget him, we talk about him in the family,but thats for us We don’t expect everybody to walk on egg shells about him, we don’t make a show about the fact he’s gone, it happened and it happens, we deal deal with it without the wish to bother others.

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thank you for sharing, sorry for your loss. Everyone deals with things differently and I admire your strength 🙂

[@carlo6004]

Brilliant, nuff said

[@philanderson7611]

Enjoyed that Dave, glen was really open. Good listen👍👍

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thank you, Phil! So glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏼

[@adamburke5400]

Fantastic podcast

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thank you, Adam 🙌🏼

[@shannondenton5410]

Awesome job Dave. Glenn is absolutely brilliant!! Always has a laugh with my son at BSB. Fantastic podcast

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thank you so much, Shannon 😁

[@garyabblett3128]

He’s such a nice bloke, open an honest. He has the talent to win TT’s but, fair play he’s not willing to push it. Some are, some aren’t. Super bloke, great podcast 👍

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Agreed, the TT is a difficult place to go at any time and how hard you push is your choice. Appreciate your kind words, Gary 🙏🏼

[@PaulJackson-w6m]

Great interview Dave.huge respect to Glenn.anyone who races at the TT has my respect.Bring on the British Superbike Championship,I can't wait. 42:56

[@Docs77TV]

Another great interview,thank you

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Our pleasure, Nick 😊

[@royread2491]

Brilliant. Is there a bit of agro between Glenn and Seeley, as he only mentioned his name once and not at all talking about the NW greats??

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

There’s certainly no love lost between them, that was clear at the NW200 last year

[@glennirwin2109]

Myself and Alastair get on very well, our partners are good friends aswel. Alastairs record is something exceptional, I don’t ride in multiple classes so I don’t target it. The superbike record that joey and michael Rutter share is a realistic target

[@royread5924]

Thaks for taking time to reply Glenn. Best of luck for next season. Its your time now!@​@glennirwin2109

[@lynnegee6814]

Well said ​@glennirwin2109 , don't let the media/social media get away with stirring the 💩 & dirty your name. Stay true & respect yourself. All the best for 2024 season.
