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!

Welcome to Off Track Podcast, have you missed us? That week off was very much needed and we’re more than ready to push on to the end of the BSB season and into the winter months! This week’s show is a cracker! Timing is everything with these shows and we’d already agreed with Tom Ward to do the chat over the weekend at Cadwell – little did we know he’d be in the points on his first go on the Rapid Honda by Marvel HCL machine!

Enjoy!

He's a British motorcycle racing commentary institution; from WorldSBK to BSB most famously alongside the great James Whitham, Jack Burnicle became the voice of Superbike racing on Eurosport and into homes across the UK. It's been three seasons since Jack graced our screens so we headed off to the Wirral to see how he's doing and what he's been up to. 

ENJOY!

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!

It was announced by MLav Racing at Silverstone that Eddie O'Shea will become the latest Briton to make his mark in Grand Prix racing when the series hits Indonesia in late September when Eddie turns 18. We sat down with Eddie at the home of the British Grand Prix to find out how the Leicestershire rider feels about becoming a Moto3 Grand Prix rider and what's changed in the weeks since he found out! Exciting times ahead!
