Gas It Out gasitout

Six-time British Superbike Champion Shane "Shakey" Byrne chats through his horrific neck injury, life as a pundit, and all things racing as he tells a tale or two from his revelatory new book "Unshakeable". The BSB star also chats about his stints in MotoGP and World Superbikes, and explains why he's not ready to call time on his racing career just yet.

Neil Hodgson and Gavin Emmett discuss the Top 5 talking points from the MotoGP and World Superbike paddocks ahead of the San Marino GP and following on from the Aragon SBK double-header. From Covid-19 testing to the future of some of MotoGP's most successful riders like Rossi and Dovizioso. Remember #Top5in5 for a chance to win some Triumph goodies.

Former MotoGP star John Hopkins joins the boys for a heartfelt chat through his rollercoaster career; from being thrown into the bear pit as the youngest-ever 500cc rider, to earning factory backing from Suzuki and Kawasaki, before the lows of injuries and off-track issues took their toll as he reinvented himself as a Superbike rider on the British, American and world stage.
"Hopper" is now helping mentor young motorcyclists with the American Racing Team, where he has enjoyed instant success with Joe Roberts in Moto2.

Neil and Gav dissect the Top 5 motorcycle racing stories of the week, as ranked by a mathematical algorithm acquired at great expense to the podchat. Chewing the fat between the back to back Austrian/Styrian MotoGP events. Zarco vs. Morbidelli, Rossi and Viñales's miracle in the mountains, Pol Espargaro vs. Miguel Oliveira, Danilo Petrucci vs. Aleix E, and Hafizh Syahrin's big off all go under Hodgy's microscope.

Mettez les gaz!!!! A paddock legend in MotoGP, and perhaps the most charming man in the sport, Red Bull KTM Tech3 boss and IRTA President Hervé Poncharal rendez-vous with Neil and Gav from his hotel balcony in the Austrian hills. Fresh from KTM winning their first race, the Frenchman delves behind the scenes to give a snapshot of life in a Covid-affected MotoGP paddock, and running a satellite team in tough financial times.

With wall to wall bike racing this weekend, and guests all busy racing, the boys give a quick summary of the lie of the land across all the circuit racing disciplines from Triumph HQ in Leicestershire.
