Off Track Podcast

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, this fine man was the mainstay of World level motorcycle racing as co-commentator to some of the defining moments in our sports history and it was a real pleasure to sit alongside him and listen to his stories.

Please drop a follow on whichever platform you listen on and if you’ve a minute more fire in a review – the more interaction we get the more people can find us the longer we can keep this show on the road.

Anyway, enough from me, settle in… this is the wonderful JULIAN RYDER

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

Anyway, enough from me, settle in… this is the exceptional Brad Ray

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, settle in… this is the excellent Michael Howarth 

ENJOY!

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.

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 two seasons of BSB with FHO Racing haven’t quite gone to plan but the hunger and desire to win are still very evident.

Enjoy!

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 of life with the team. It’s been a rough ride over the years and Fraser is brutally honest about the mistakes he’s made and the dark places he’s found himself.

Enjoy!

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... There's a first time for everything and we reckon its ok for a first go as Dave looks ahead to the penultimate round of BSB before delving into a few questions off our social media pages to round out the show. 

Enjoy!

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. 

Enjoy!

This week my guest is a man who’s firmly inserted himself as a Bennetts British Superbike Championship contender in 2024. 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. We sat down with the Grilla OMG Racing Yamaha man to talk about the season so far, that epic Cadwell weekend and his approach to these intense final three rounds.

Enjoy!
