Just a few weeks to go until the TT Podcast returns with a brand new series. Until then we're continuing to rewind some of our classic episodes, and this week it's the turn of the legend, John McGuinness MBE.
This was one of our first episodes back in January 2022, where John had 99 TT race starts under his belt and he was looking forward to hitting the century mark in TT 2022.
We got an insight into John’s family life, the superstitions he carries out before every race, and he opened up and reflected on the darker side of the sport which has claimed the lives of a number of his closest peers.
