Can’t really do podcasts usually. Love this, very relatable.
5️⃣⭐️
I love listening to CTR and Off Track BUT this is so much more relatable because you guys are in the same paddock as me and face the same issues and hurdles I do! You show this sport is pure 100% graft even at the lower levels. Keep it up and hope to catch you at a NLR round very soon 🤘
Shining a light on the smaller guys
Fantastic podcast it’s nice to hear Marcus and his enthusiasm for his racing while shining a light on the riders who are not big names in the sport yet and how they make their way in the sport I look forward listening to the older ones.
Great shout getting Marcus definitely helped me find the pod
