Ex club racer with 45 years of riding under my belt. If you like riding and want to get better, great pod cast!
I love the YouTube channel and stumbled on this podcast. What a find. Just the right length and I’m a novice MotoGP watcher. This podcast gives some great information not only about racing. But just motorcycles in general.
UK MotoGP and V4 sportsbike fan here.
