Listened to this twice already, great podcast! I've recommended it before but 'Road' would be a great follow up to this, its another road racing documentary but it focuses on the Dunop family rather then the TT, in the UK at least it available on Amazon prime. Also I'd be interested to hear how much knowledge Danny has of road racing been from Ireland? Where people like Joey cultural figures growing up? I know the majority of races happen in the north but I believe they do have the odd race in the Republic.

2019-05-20 12:09:01 +0000 UTCThanks for this... watched it yesterday and it is a great doco. The passion of the marshall(?) with his mug and saying it was like the world cup! Amazing dedication to a weird weird thing that humans do!

2019-05-16 16:01:03 +0000 UTCGreat Podcast guys Got a few things about Guy Martin for you here is his crash that basically put his Road Racing career on hiatus https://youtu.be/cAhQ6Xp-ilE He did have his best opportunity to win a TT race in 2017 when he signed with the works Honda team and became John McGuiness’s team mate but the bikes they both had where unreliable with McGuiness having a massive crash (Electronics fault) because of this Honda decided to pull out of that years TT races and Guys hopes of a TT win went with it. He now has a family and that seems to be the main reason why he has unofficially retired from professional road racing. Guy races mostly Classic Road Races these days using bikes that he has built he did win a race a few weeks ago in one of these races. He now mostly spends his time focusing on documentary’s for Channel 4 in the UK he puts out 3-4 a year
