Thanks so much, CM! We’re doing our best to bring the best guests we can and Charlie is right up there with them 😉 yep, difficult times for Rory in Moto2 but he’ll seize his chance in BSB and very difficult for MLav, the back story to losing VisionTrack is a real shame but MLav’s a man of his word and that’s so important in our sport.

Fabulous…Nice to hear Charlies background , very interesting chap and always like his grid walks and interviews , never shirks the questions we want to hear…..great podcast…chapeau

I saw that Lavilla interview live. Greg was fuming but Charlie was absolutely right to pull his card. I note that it is not on the internet at all…..

Great chat, Charlie you are a bloody legend and thanks for the mention at 15:10 🤣🤣👍

Absolutely LOVED it, great insights into the world of bikes, Charlie is one of my fav commentators in MotoGP, loved his grid walks in WSB too. Was so engrossed I even said Joe Roberts out loud when Charlie couldn't remember the rider who turned down the Aprilia ride 😂 Dorna need to ask us, the fans, what we think about the aero, ride height, tyre situation cos if they mess it up we will turn to WSB, thanks Dave for another brilliant podcast

I was on the PB Frenzy that Charlie speaks of. Absolutely mental. Loads of pissed up idiots thrashing round then getting pissed again. If my memory serves me correctly, the beer tent was burned down when they ran out of ale.

Another great one, really enjoyed it. The people who aren't riders have just as interesting a story to tell. Joe Roberts was the bloke you couldn't remember, who turned down the Aprilia MotoGP ride. Whoops. Is Matt Llewellyn on your radar for a future episode, he's been on both sides and has seen BSB evolve since the late eighties.

That’s the fella! Just couldn’t remember 😁 Sure, Matt’s definitely on the radar and we’ll hopefully be sitting down with him once the BSB season is underway 🙏🏼

There’s been a great response to the show, Paul and thanks for adding to that. Plenty more shows to come that are already in the bag plus a couple of secret ones that we can’t share yet… 😉

The lavilla incident was comedy gold!!!! Remember watching it. Was like the angriest interview !!

It certainly raised a few eyebrows at the time but now knowing the back story it’s a more difficult watch knowing where Charlie was personally at the time 🙏🏼

Excellent interview with a fantastic guest. Having been in the paddock a couple of times at WSBK I have to agree with Charlie's opinion regarding Max Biaggi. Every single rider I met, it was no (apparent) trouble to them to just get a (very) quick photo, or autograph. Max....nope, I first met him and there were two small kids and myself, palmed off the kids and just walked straight passed us. I wasn't bothered for me, but the two kids..meh. Another time he just popped off his paddock scooter and again only 3, 4 folk he still ignored everyone and straight to his garage. You never know what's going on in someone's head but as I say, every other rider, Nori, Troy (Bayliss & Corser) and a good few others, no problem.

@OffTrack_Podcast

Courtesy was never in Max’s vocabulary, and it stood out so much more when his peers were so accommodating - I’ve seen the current WorldSBK Champ do the same thing on many an occasion and it just makes them look silly. Hopefully meeting the other riders more than made up for the little Italian fella’s ignorance.

@OffTrack_Podcast Yeah...some folks seem to forget WHY they are there really. Without an audience, there's no racing. It was the walking straight passed two 5, 6 year olds? That did it for me.

Great interview Charlie really tells it how it is a lot of common sense there !!

Brilliant Dave, just brilliant 👏
