With the 2024 Bennetts British Superbike Championship kicking off this weekend in Navarra, I sat down with MCN's BSB journo Josh Close to look at the runners and riders for the '24 season. We talk about the main challengers, the riders looking to improve on '23, rider changes, rule changes and the sub-stories we expect to develop pretty much from race one, lap one!

The Moto3 World Champion and McAMS Racing British Superbike rider joins us at Oulton Park.

You listen to him help our brilliant guests tell their stories every week, but who is he? What's his history?
