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!

In his 25th year of running the TAS Racing team alongside his father, Hector, Philip Neill has a rich history in the world of motorcycle racing both on short circuits but more notably on the Roads. The teams roster of riders reads like a who's who of Road Racing royalty and this chat is just a glimpse of that history. Enjoy!

Fresh from his successful but painful NW200 campaign, we sit down with one of the coolest fellas in racing to talk about his success on the North Coast, a look ahead to the TT, his love of Country music and just what WAS on offer for '24... it's a fascinating and relaxed chat with the brilliant Davey Todd.

Enjoy!

This week's show is the first of three from the brilliant North West 200 road races. In this opening episode we sit down with WTF Racing's James Hillier, a man who's 9 podiums and a race win around the Triangle and was Man of the Meeting in 2019, he's also contested 71 TT races, finishing 65 of them with 14 podiums and victory in the 2014 Lightweight TT. If that wasn't enough James contested the 2023 Dakar Rally, a brutal race across the Saudi desert... It's a fascinating listen. 

Enjoy!

Finally, after 11 years of doing this we finally get to sit down with the Road Racing legend that is John McGuinness MBE! In the chat John, with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek, kindly tells us WHY we've never sat down together until now before we talk about that fabulous NW200 podium, his thoughts on this year's Isle of Man TT, and why we wear clothes, amongst other pearls of McGuinness wisdom... It's a peach of a show but a polite heads-up, some language is on the fruity side.

Big thanks to our mid-roll sponsor https://sorrymate.com/
