Glenn Irwin worked his way forward through the pack for the final victory༒ of the Oulton Park British Supe🔴rbikes weekend.

Irwin started from pole after Leon Haslam was demoted for bike💮 alterations, but it was his brother who was the early race leader, chased down 🥀by the Ducati.

The power of the PBM bike soon had the BeerMonster Ducati ri𝕴der in the lead, but challenges came thick and fast from Leon Haslam and his brother, before the lead group extended to 𓄧five with title leaders Tommy Bridewell and Josh Brookes adding themselves to the mix, with Kyle Ryde not far behind.

Errors up front as the riders playe🦩d cat and mouse with each other meant there was noജ escape, with the new front trio - Glenn Irwin, Haslam and Bridewell only pulling away again on lap eleven.

That br♔eak did not last long - Andrew Irwin started to slip back and was rapidly passed by Brookes and Ryde who had one more run at catching and joining the lead group.

Up front the #91 bike꧅ was ꦅrehearsing overtakes, but the extra push needed caused instability and wobbles, allowing Irwin a small lead for the first time.

The Defensive line of the Ducati a🗹llowed one final l﷽unge - but Irwin just held on in a dramatic run to the line to win by 0.062s, echoing his Silverstone performance where he also came back to win the final race.
