Be Wiser Ducati's Glenn Irwin took advantage of an off-form Josh Brookes to re-claim third place in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship chase but had to do so with an injured shoulder.

Irwin slipped off his Panigale at the bottom of the mountain on Friday and damaged a rotator cuff but rode through the pain in qualifying and both races to claim fourth and fifth-place finishes.

“The two races were tough today but given where I was on Friday morning with the injury, I’m reasonably pleased with fourth and fifth. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to stay in the mix for the entire race distance, but I was able to do that although I threw away the podium in race one when I left the door open on the last lap," said Irwin.

"I was struggling a bit with my shoulder for the last few laps, but it was my own mistake that cost me third place. In race two I gave it my best, but I felt very weak from about mid-race distance. I tried everything I could to improve my position, but I had to settle for fifth and so apologies to the team as it was a silly crash on Friday and one that cost us a good chance of a podium this weekend.”
