Welcome to Off Track Podcast and the second of our WorldSBK specials. After winning the Moto2 World Championship in 2021 Remy Gardner lasted one season in MotoGP before finding himself without a ride in the championship, a switch to GRT Yamaha in WorldSBK followed for 2023 and in 2024 that relationship continues. A stand-in ride for Alex Rins on the Factory Yamaha M1 at Sachsenring was a shot in the arm for the Aussie and he’ll get another chance at Silverstone for the British Round of MotoGP.

Welcome to Off Track Podcast, our show this week is the first of two WorldSBK specials – three chats over two shows starting with 7 mins with BMW Motorrad’s championship leader Toprak Razgatlioglu and then 20 mins with WorldSBK rookie Marc VDS Ducati man Sam Lowes – there’s a small audio issue with my first three questions to Sam but it doesn’t impact the show and is corrected after about 90 seconds-ish... Enjoy!

Last week it was the Pocket Rocket but this week it’s the Rocket himself, Ron Haslam! We sat down with Ron at his farm as he tells stories from his illustrious career and the people that were instrumental in his rise to Grand Prix racing and beyond. When you visit the farm the first thing you realise is that Ron’s still as involved as ever and doesn’t stand still for long so to get him for two hours was a real privilege and a big thank you to Ann Haslam for her help with that.
Enjoy!

After the Donington Park BSB round we headed to deepest Derbyshire to the Haslam Farm where we sat down with 2018 BSB Champion Leon Haslam. We chat about the end of last season and the start of 2024, in which Leon makes quite a personal revelation as to where he is physically. It's always a pleasure to sit with Leon and this episode was no different... Enjoy!

Hello and welcome to Off Track Podcast proudly sponsored by zerofit, the world’s warmest base layers, our guest this week needs little introduction – joined by our great mate Ben Currie one last time before he steps aside from his co-host role, we sit down with 2023 Bennetts British Superbike Champion Tommy Bridewell! We talk all things Honda Racing, well almost all things, we talk about the transition to the ’24 Honda Fireblade, the start to the BSB season and just what’s changed in Tommy himself because I sure noticed it and it’s great to see. With the usual caveats for colouful language throughout, this is Honda Racing’s British Superbike Champion, Tommy Bridewell!

This week's guest, in proud association with Zerofit the king of baselayers, has had a difficult time over the last 12 months in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship. After sustaining a career-threatening injury during the Knockhill test in '23, coupled with helping develop a brand-new Honda Fireblade for ’24, it’s not been an easy time for the likeable Northern Irishman. The good news is the Fireblade is working extremely well and even better news is he’s as fit as he’s ever been and more importantly, he’s happy, and a happy rider is a fast rider as Knockhill would prove! Ladies and gentlemen, it's Andrew Irwin!

This week it’s our final chat from the NW200 and TT races as we sit down with a man who holds the record for the most TT starts in history and at 68 years of age he’s showing no signs of stopping – he was the first man to reach 100 starts at the TT and despite personal tragedy, he proudly continues to race at the NW200 and his beloved TT races.

This week’s show is a real insight into the highs and lows of motorcycle racing. From multiple titles to laying in a hospital bed with a badly broken leg, wondering if it’s all over to finding the love for the sport again but on his own terms to take advantage of more family time and fatherhood. We also talk about other important subjects like the merits of sausage and mash and which guests he’d share them with… It's a fascinating and candid chat with Coopes and I hope you enjoy it.

This week’s second show is a rider who is really looking to make his mark in 2024 – he has the ability and now he has the team behind him. After a successful career on the smaller bikes, stepping up to road racing and adjusting to the bigger machines is starting to pay dividends as he continues to learn and improve with every lap, whether it’s the NW200, the TT or Armoy. Welcome back to the show, Paul Jordan!
