Glenn Irwin ha🌃s paid tribute to 🔴his ongoing “rivalry and respect” with Tommy Bridewell.

Bridewell edged Irwin to la✱st year’s British Superbike Championship amid a fractious personal relationship, in a season where they butted heads on track.

Bridewell failed to retain his title last weekend at Brands Hatch as Kyle Ryde -🎉 who Irwin acted as a “wingman” for - won ♉the BSB championship.

Irwin has since been typically winding up Bridewell’s legion of supporters vꦬia social media.

“We have had some big rivalries inBSB through the years,” the officiꦗal championship posted.

“But surely Bridewell and Irwin is🎶 one of the fiercest in history…

“Ready to renew in 2025.”

📖Irwin responded: “As I always say when we are long retired I’ll be forever grateful to be a part of an intense rivalry that brings people through the gates!

“Long may the rivalry and respect continue!”

But it hasn’t stopped ♎Irwin failing to show much sympathy for Bridewell missing out on a second consecutive title last Sunday.

The Duc🌠ati rider admitted his role in assisting Ryde in the crucial Race 3 at Brands Hatch, while noting that Andrew Irwin similarly aided Bridewell.

Irwin could not resist pointing out to Bridewell’s “clueless fa🥂ns” on social media that, in 2022 when he rode a Honda, he two more races than his rival has claimed this year.

Irwin ꦆeven insisted that he has inside-information indicating that Bridewell’s Honda was more competitive than he w🔜as letting on.

The rivalry that has dominated BSB🦂 for the past two seasons will roll into next year…
