Bradley Ward's debut 2020 MotoAmerica Superbike season ended early with a horrific crash at New Jersey Motorsports Park that left him with a broken leg, wrist and other injuries. But the big Brit is undeterred and is working to get himself back to full fitness so he can be on the grid when the 2021 HONOS Superbike Series gets rolling again. Ward chatted with us in this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice about his season, his crash and his recovery.

Prior to Joan Mir winning the MotoGP World Championship a few weeks ago in Spain, the last premier class World Champion to capture the crown on a Suzuki was Kenny Roberts Jr. in 2000. Roberts Jr. joined his father Kenny Roberts in becoming the only father/son duo to win 500cc World Championships. We caught up with Roberts Jr. for this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers and Bice to discuss his championship-winning year, what it's like to grow up as Kenny Roberts Jr., and myriad of other topics. This one will definitely need a part two.

Josh Hayes is a busy man at the MotoAmerica races with the four-time AMA Superbike Champion watching over several riders, including Bobby Fong and Cameron Petersen, in their quest for stardom as their rider coach. If you watch him during the race weekends, he spends his time trackside and bouncing back and forth between his riders as he imparts his words of wisdom. In this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers and Bice, we were able to delve into some of that wisdom in our conversation with the not-quite-retired former champion.

Cameron Petersen had quite a season in the 2020 MotoAmerica Series, winning eight Stock 1000 races en route to taking his first MotoAmerica Championship. If that wasn't enough, he also got engaged to his long-time girlfriend, Nina, in the days leading up to the Road America round. Now he finds himself as hot property for a MotoAmerica Superbike ride in 2021. We broke up Petersen's online video game with Cameron Beaubier to chat about 2020 and his hopes for 2021.

The voice probably sounds familiar and that's because Rob Buydos has announced nearly every form of motorcycle racing on the planet - from motocross to road racing to pit bikes to motorcycle shows and more. But he's not a guest on this week's Off Track with Carruthers and Bice because of his announcing prowess. He's our guest because he's the man behind the Drag Specialties King of the Baggers event that just took place in conjunction with the the MotoAmerica Series finale at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. The Baggers race was an undeniable success and fans can't stop watching it or talking about it. Thus we wanted Buydos to join us and tell us a bit of the background behind the "talk of the industry."

When Toni Elias announced that he is leaving the Team Hammer M4 ECSTAR Suzuki team at the end of this season, a lot of people took it that he is retiring.

Former AMA Harley-Davidson Series star Tyler O'Hara was the first person Indian thought of when it came time to pick a rider to race its entry in the Drag Specialties King of the Baggers event, which will be held in conjunction with the final round of the 2020 MotoAmerica Series next weekend at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. O'Hara jumped at the opportunity and he's been all-in ever since, taking an active role in the development of the race bike by his test sessions and input to the engineers. Now, he's one of the favorites to take victory. We caught up with O'Hara for this week's Off Track With Carruthers and Bice podcast to talk about what it's like to ride a Bagger around a racetrack and much more.
