Northern Ireland's Glenn Irwin has been discharged from hospital following a crash during the British Superbike round at Donington Park on Sunday. The 36-year-old was taken to Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham due to concerns about a potential spinal fracture.

Fortunately, the British Superbike Championship provided a positive update, stating that Irwin has been "pronounced clear and discharged". He will now undergo a fitness review to determine his ability to ride at Brands Hatch.

The incident occurred on the penultimate lap of the third race of the weekend at Starkey's Bridge. Irwin was assessed and treated at the circuit's medical center, remaining conscious and stable throughout the ordeal.

This marks the second time this season that the Ducati rider has faced hospitalization due to a crash. Earlier, he suffered pelvic and neck injuries at Snetterton in July, which forced him to miss the remaining races that weekend.

In the championship standings, Kyle Ryde leads after winning the first two races at Donington, while Scott Redding secured victory in the final race, setting the stage for an exciting conclusion at Brands Hatch from October 17-18.
