    TORQ MOTO - BRIAN JORGENSEN - Almost over before we started!

    Yogi bears all ‘Torq-ing Moto’!  It’s time for another 'Torq Moto Podcast Show’ and this week’s guest is one of Denmark’s finest motocross racers - Brian Jorgensen. ‘Yogi’ as he was affectionately known in the early part of his racing career, joins hosts ‘Jeffro’ Perrett and Doc Wobs in the studio over two episodes to discuss his career to date and the sport in general. It’s a good tale from beginning to end. Brian starts off explaining how his mum needed some convincing on letting him ride a motocross bike, let alone race one, and that wasn’t helped when she came home one day to find he’d sneaked out on his bike, crashed and put a clutch lever into his skull through his eye socket! Unfazed, Brian and his dad eventually won his mum around, even though Brian’s dad was in the dog house for a bit and going racing with his brother Jesper soon became their way of life. There’s some great stories from Brian has he explains how he worked his way up to EMX 125 standard and then on to be a European 125cc champion before coming to race in the British and World 125cc championship. Brian was a popular addition to the British championship and he looks back on his time in the U.K fondly after riding for Rob Hooper’s Suzuki team, a stint with Dave Thorpe on the CAT Finning Honda Team and finally with Steve Dixon on Yamaha, where he finally won the British 125cc title in 2001 before moving on further his career in the 500cc and 250cc World championships which the trio delve into in the following episode. You can watch or listen to the first episode of the Brian Jorgensen interview on the 'Torq Moto Podcast Show’ from 7pm this Thursday 12th June on YouTube, Spotify or Apple where you can also catch up with all previous episodes.

Steve talks fondly of his days racing youth motocross, even though by his own admission he wasn’t any good, but that all changed after his first trip to the Millsaps Training Facility (MTF) in Georgia, USA. It was a ‘penny drop’ moment for Steve and he came away from there knowing he wanted to be a professional racer and what he had to do to get there. Here he talks candidly about the sacrifices made by himself and his family to not only win the 2005 Junior World 85cc title but also the 2007 Loretta Lynn’s Schoolboy 2 14-16 title beating the likes of Jose Butron, Valentin Teillet and Dean Wilson along the way to both championships and what life was like on the road and living in America as a teenager. You can listen to episode one of the ‘Steven Clarke interview' on the Torq Moto Podcast show on either Spotify or Apple or watch the interview on the ‘Torq Moto’ YouTube channel from 7pm this coming Thursday 15th May, where you can also find all previous episodes.
