Irwin and Fritz to European STK600 with Racedays Kawasaki
Glenn Irwin, 18 years of age from Carrickfergus near Belfast, comes from a fantastic season in British Superstock and was particularly impressive as a wild card at the Portimao round. ''I am delighted to be part of the Racedays Kawasaki squad for 2012," he said. "I've worked with the team on a couple of occasions and I know they can provide me with the required elements to be a race winner. Staying with Kawasaki is also a key factor, as they have supported me in 2011 and I'd like to repay them with a European championship. Roll on 2012!''
Marvin Fritz tested recently with Racedays at Jerez and consistently set very competitive times, despite it being only his second time on a 600cc machine. He has multiple podiums in the IDM championship. ''After some years competing in IDM 125 I'm now looking forward to riding in the European Superstock 600 championship with Racedays. At the test at Jerez in November I rode the Kawasaki for the first time and it all went very well. I had a very good feeling with the team and from the first lap I had an amazing feeling with this bike. The lap times were also pretty good! I can't wait to start the season 2012 and with a team like this, with their experience, it's very much possible to succeed.''
Simon Crafar, Team Coach, added: "Working with young riders, for me is the best job in the world and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Josh Day in 2011. Glenn & Marvin are already fast, but are younger and less experienced and I am hoping to be able to help them even more than I could with Josh. The Racedays team atmosphere is very good and we will do our best to give the riders what they need to do the job.''
