British Superbikes: Glenn Irwin fourth in Cadwell Park race one won by Peter Hickman
- Published
Glenn Irwin is in his second season with Honda Racing
Glenn Irwin finished fourth in the first British Superbike race of the weekend at Cadwell Park after leading in the early stages.
The Honda Racing rider had set the pole position time but was unable to maintain his lead in the race as pain from a shoulder injury sustained at Donington Park last weekend kicked in.
The Carrickfergus rider said his bike had suffered from "some crazy chatter".
Lincolnshire's Peter Hickman took his first BSB race win since 2017.
Series leader Jason O'Halloran was second, with Tommy Bridewell third.
