He's yet to confirm TT ride
Glenn Irwin's taken a step closer to making his Isle of Man racing debut next year by signing to ride for Honda for a third consecutive season.
He's the latest high-profile name to be drawn to the TT following the likes of fellow British Superbike championship riders Josh Brookes and Peter Hickman.
There are also rumours he is likely to be joined in the team by 23-time winner John McGuinness.
