Glenn Irwin says his Superbike treble at the North West 200, which came just six days after winning three races in the British Superbike Championship, is his 'greatest achievement'.
After breaking the record for the number of Superbike victories at the North West 200, Glenn Irwin was in a philosophical mood.
In the final race of the day, the feature Superbike race, Irwin held off the challenge to complete his Superbike treble ahead of Davey Todd, who was so impressive with a hat-trick of wins and second-places across the week. "Eleven wins in a row is cool. But a treble at Oulton Park in the British Superbikes, and a treble here - that's my greatest achievement in racing."
However, that became a battle for the final spot on the podium when Harrison retired with two laps remaining, and it was his Honda team-mate McGuinness who took advantage of a back marker late in the lap to dart around Hillier and take the chequered flag in third place.
