Danny suffered from the eternal racers conundrum... can't get a ride without experience, can't get the experience without a ride.. glad to see he has fought through the tough times and is coming through into the sunlight again.. He is showing his class so far this year, hope he keeps pushing, he will have that BSB win soon enough..

Perfectly put, so to go down the STK1000 route was a brave decision for a former World Champion. He’s a very different fella to five years ago and one who deserves every success 🙂

Another brilliant Off Track Podcast. Dave is a good interviewer. Best of luck to Danny Kent for the future.

Can't wait for Donington. Pity MotoGP doesn't go there now. Would have loved to see Jorge Martin's shoulder down style at Craner Curves. Good luck there Danny, hope it's dry. There's bound to be some big nasties, hope you don't have one.

Thanks Mark, any world champion who accepts STK1000 as a proving ground deserves some respect 🫡

Spot on that. Enjoyed it. One seriously talented rider is DK 52, admire his sheer doggedness in not giving up. Can say what many British riders can't. A GP world 🏆 champion.

Thanks Nodbod, I thought he came across very well and naturally so. Really glad you enjoyed it 🫡

Just "liked" and noted the previous likes amounted to 52. How appropriate. Good to see Danny on a Yamaha and whilst Ryan is my rider, I fully appreciate Danny's style and to be fair, he comes across really well and despite making an awful personal choice when younger, I've always found him approachable and an otherwise, credit to himself.

Andrew, that’s a perfect summary; he knows he’s made wrong choices, he’s learned from them and he shouldn’t be judged solely on those choices 🙏🏼

Go Danny ........World champ Danny didn't gel with Moto2 , but remember Fabio Quatararo won six Spanish junior titles but was lacklustre in Moto3 and Moto2 before finding his true potential in MotoGP. As with Danny I'm sure Jake Dixon would fare better on a big bike too.

Best of luck Dan, remember there's a lot goes on behind the scenes so you can get on that bike. People you'll never meet and never hear mentioned.

Been waiting for this one Dave great to hear Danny big fan great rider and it's really good to see him on a good bike with a good team here's to a fabulous season another stonking interview with a top class rider and world champion .👌👍

Could well have done, will have to watch it back as I can’t remember how he explained it

Danny at his age now, may find it hard to claw his way back to worldsbk (let alone MotoGP). But Leon Haslam won his first BSB crown at the age of 35 (and propelled him back to worldsbk) and Shane Byrne won his last of his 6 crown at the of 41. So there's still many chance for Danny to become one of the BSB legends.

@OffTrack_Podcast

I think Danny will be the first to admit that he won't return to the MotoGP paddock and the difficulty we'll find over the next few seasons is that WorldSBK continue looking to MotoGP/Moto2/Moto3 to fill their rides rather than domestic championships. Agreed, he has plenty of opportunity in BSB over the next few years and will rack up race wins before long, of that I'm certain.

Another great one, Danny could've asked me what turn 3 at Navarra was like on superpole, it was mine 😊

@OffTrack_Podcast

2 ай бұрын

I love that 😁

4:03 I presume Danny was talking about Riccardo Rossi because Gresini had Gabby Rodrigo who was Argentinian and Rossi is Italian. If it had gone through knowing what we knew from Moto3 in 2019 he would've been close to Dalla Porta given that the Honda had a clear edge on the KTM in terms of performance. The defining moment of this point was Motegi when Canet crashed out and there was a shot of him the pits making frenetic gestures about being totally murdered by the Honda's when it came to straight line speed and punch off the corners which forced him to take risks under braking where the KTM was strong that season. To confirm the point of the top 5 in points that season Dalla Porta, Canet, Ramirez, Arbolino and McPhee only Canet was KTM mounted for Sterilgarda Max Racing rest were all Honda's
