In this episode of The Outside Line, Davey Todd opens up about the brutal Daytona crash that left his 2026 road racing season hanging in the balance. He takes us through the difficult recovery process, the desperate race against time to be fit for the North West 200 and Isle of Man TT, and the emotional moment he was told he’d been declared unfit to ride.

Davey speaks candidly about the physical and mental toll of missing two of the biggest events on the road racing calendar, how the news was delivered, and what the setback means for the rest of his season.

The conversation also turns to this year’s Isle of Man TT as Davey gives his insight into the key storylines, the riders to watch, and who he believes could dominate across the classes in 2026.

Max Cook enters his fourth season in the British Superbike Championship with momentum, belief, and a point to prove. After topping the first official test of the year aboard the new Bimota package, confidence in the camp is at an all-time high and with the Grand National just won by ‘I Am Maximus,’ you can’t help but wonder… is this Max’s year?
With full factory backing from Bimota and guidance from World Superbike race winner Alex Lowes, the pieces are finally falling into place. The question is no longer if Max can fight at the front but whether he can go full circle and emulate his mentor by lifting the 2026 British Superbike crown.
In this episode, we dive into the mindset, the machinery, and the moment that could define a career. Is everything aligning for a breakout season?

Season Two is officially underway and The Outside Line is back for more. 🔥

We kick off the new season by reviewing Round 1 of the 2026 World Superbike Championship, coming from the iconic Phillip Island Circuit in Australia. From early-season form to standout performances in the wet, we break down what we learned from the opening round of the year.  We also dive into the headline making decision to move away from Phillip Island and onto a brand-new Australian street circuit from 2027, and what that could mean for riders, teams and fans.

There's plenty more from the wider paddock too, with the latest news and talking points from MotoGP, British Superbikes & AMA.

And of course, it wouldn't be OSL without a bit of jeopardy. Jack puts Whit to the test in Jack Track Trivia, this time all about Phillip Island, before firing listener questions straight at him in a no-holds barred Presser Q&A Session.

New Season, Same Full-Throttle Energy / Mayhem.  Let's Go 🏁

What actually goes into putting British Superbike racing on your TV screens every race weekend?

In Episode 13 of The Outside Line, we head behind the broadcast with Richard Coventry, the BSB Race & Presentation TV Director and the man responsible for turning flat-out racing into the live coverage we all watch at home.

From camera placement and director calls to live decision-making, storytelling, and capturing the moments that matter, Cov breaks down how a BSB race weekend is broadcast, and what viewers never get to see or hear. We explore the pressure of live television, how races are shaped for the audience, working with commentators and production crews, and how modern broadcast tech has changed the way motorsport is consumed.

If you’ve ever wondered how the racing you love actually makes it to air, this is the ultimate TV broadcast episode.

🎥 Behind-the-scenes insights
🏁 Live race direction & storytelling
🎙 Working with commentators & crews
📡 The tech that brings BSB to life

A must-listen for motorsport fans, media nerds, and anyone curious about what happens beyond the pit wall.
