Despite been a debutant to the North West Glenn cannot be discounted from pushing for podium finishes, he is tipped to adapt extremely to all parts of the iconic road race circuit in particular the tight and twisty parts.

Martin Jessopp is another rider highly capable of achieving top class results as he joins Glenn Irwin in the VRS Racing team.
