As we’ve discussed many times on the show, commentary is THE most divisive subject among race fans. We all have our favourites, many yearn for the old days, and make no mistake it’s not a job I fancy as my skin is nowhere near thick enough! Thankfully my guest this week is the one of the most recognisable and best loved voices in motorcycle racing over the last 20 years and more. From WorldSBK to MotoGP, and forming iconic commentary partnerships with Keith Huewen and Toby Moody along the way, t...

My guest this week is the Bennetts British Superbike Champion of 2022 – after lifting the title with OMG Racing my guest switched attention to the WorldSBK championship for '23 and '24 and while the results weren’t as many of us and Brad had hoped he makes his return to the Bennetts British Superbike championship a faster more complete rider and one that’s hungry to retain his title with his old team of OMG Racing Please drop a follow on whichever platform you listen on and if you’ve a minute mo...

Welcome to Off Track Podcast this week’s guest makes his return despite his insistence that last time was the last time – let me say now that the show isn’t a q&a interview as you’ve become used to, it’s a rare proper chat so we do step over each other from time to time. You hear more from me than usual with Howie not spending so much time in the paddock this season but it’s great to have him back on – when I left I thought we’d done about an hour but no, it was much more than that! Anyway, ...

From winning the Superstock title last season then being stripped of it almost immediately, to the planets aligning for the opportunity of a lifetime to contest the Endurance World Championship with one of the most recognised teams in the championship was a chance he seized with both hands to become 2024 Endurance World Champion with Yoshimura SERT Suzuki alongside teammates Etienne Masson and Greg Black. A deserved turnaround in fortune for Dan Linfoot. Send us a text Support the show Would you...

This is an absolutely fascinating episode proudly sponsored by 1p mobile, the UK's cheapest PAYG mobile tariff. It’s been 11 years since I last sat down with this Josh Brookes on his own and it's a show I’ve very much looked forward to doing since we refreshed and relaunched our show back in Feb ’23. In those 11 years he’s won two British Superbike titles, podiumed at Suzuka, ridden to second place in the Senior TT and extended his personal best lap around the island to over 134 mph. The last tw...

Motorcycle racing can give the highest of highs while retaining the ability to kick you when you’re down and my guest this week has seen his fair share of both. His talent has never been in doubt but his career thus far has never quite fulfilled that talent. For 2024 Fraser Rogers made his return to the Bennetts British Superbike championship with TAG Honda where despite a serious MX crash earlier in the summer the Gloucestershire rider has been a regular points scorer as he relishes a new lease...

Dave's flying solo this week after logisitics and plan changes for our guests meant we had to shift it up a gear and let our host out on his own unsupervised and unscripted...

Welcome to this special episode with Pertamina Enduro VR46 MotoGP man, Fabio Di Giannantonio. As is the way with these MotoGP interviews it’s just 10 minutes but it’s amazing how much you can understand Diggia's character in that time and find out a lot about the man himself, it’s very reminiscent of the Toprak chat back at Donington Park.

Fresh off the back of his Man of the Meeting performance at Cadwell Park with his maiden Superbike win at the circuit, a second place and his second win on the Sunday, the King of the Mountain and Cadwell 90 trophy winner Kyle Ryde is our guest this week.

Well, we’ve saved the best til last from Silverstone..it’s Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 team boss Hervé Poncharal! I’d been told by so many people before we sat down that Hervé is an absolute gentleman who loves to chat (which is useful for a podcast guest) and they weren’t wrong – what an absolute pleasure it was to sit with him and just listen to his view on life and racing.

Any rider in MotoGP that rides a Honda is struggling, that’s clear to see, but what does it feel like from the rider’s view? We sat down with Idemitsu LCR Honda’s Taka Nakagami to find out just HOW frustrating things are at the moment riding for the Japanese giant that is HRC. After the weekend rumours began to circulate that Somkiat Chantra is being lined up to replace Taka, if true then it's a doubly difficult time for the likeable Japanese rider.

We sat down with the ultra-talented Moto3 Championship leader at Silverstone to find out a little bit more about the 18 year old Colombian who is destined for great things in the MotoGP paddock. The Aspar Team rider is a delightful young man with his head firmly on his shoulders but also one who truly enjoys his racing and his life without a hint of arrogance. Like a smaller Toprak, he was engaging and entertaining and he also asked about us and what we do... we like that in riders ;-) Enjoy! Se...

Welcome to Off Track Podcast and the second of our WorldSBK specials. After winning the Moto2 World Championship in 2021 Remy Gardner lasted one season in MotoGP before finding himself without a ride in the championship, a switch to GRT Yamaha in WorldSBK followed for 2023 and in 2024 that relationship continues. A stand-in ride for Alex Rins on the Factory Yamaha M1 at Sachsenring was a shot in the arm for the Aussie and he’ll get another chance at Silverstone for the British Round of MotoGP. S...

We sat down with Ron at his farm as he tells stories from his illustrious career and the people that were instrumental in his rise to Grand Prix racing and beyond. When you visit the farm the first thing you realise is that Ron’s still as involved as ever and doesn’t stand still for long so to get him for two hours was a real privilege and a big thank you to Ann Haslam for her help with that.

This week's guest, in proud association with Zerofit the king of baselayers, has had a difficult time over the last 12 months in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship. After sustaining a career-threatening injury during the Knockhill test in '23, coupled with helping develop a brand-new Honda Fireblade for ’24, it’s not been an easy time for the likeable Northern Irishman. The good news is the Fireblade is working extremely well and even better news is he’s as fit as he’s ever been and mor...

From multiple titles to laying in a hospital bed with a badly broken leg, wondering if it’s all over to finding the love for the sport again but on his own terms to take advantage of more family time and fatherhood. We also talk about other important subjects like the merits of sausage and mash and which guests he’d share them with… It's a fascinating and candid chat with Coopes and I hope you enjoy it.
