Buildbase Honda’s Graeme Irwin yesterday added the MX Nationals MX1 title to the Maxxis British crown he won at Preston Docks.

Irwin retained his title by winning the opening race at Crookwood Motoparc and was leading the second when it was stopped after six laps.

“It’s been a great day and the perfect way to repay the team for all their hard work,” he said. “The track was really good – plenty of ruts and totally different to what we’ve ridden for most of the season – and I won the title in the first race so there was no pressure for the second and I just went out to enjoy myself.”
