Toby talks to... Chaz Davies, world champion racer turned rider coach

On this week’s podcast, Toby Moody returns for an extended chat with Chaz Davies, World Supersport champion, a race winner 32 times in World Superbikes, and a regular for many years in Grand Prix racing. 

The popular Welsh rider discusses why he was always likely to get into motorcycle racing, cutting his teeth alongside the likes of Casey Stoner and Cal Crutchlow as a teenager, racing under Alberto Puig, and getting onto the Grand Prix grid at just 15 years of age.

Along the way he recounts his unforgettable debut in Suzuka, why he only spent a year racing 125s, the amazing story of how he had to sit his school exams above a pit box at Mugello, and his eventual move to racing in America - a move he believes was the making of him.
