    Episode 15 - Season 2 Opener | Back For More

    Season Two is officially underway and The Outside Line is back for more. 🔥 We kick off the new season by reviewing Round 1 of the 2026 World Superbike Championship, coming from the iconic Phillip Island Circuit in Australia. From early-season form to standout performances in the wet, we break down what we learned from the opening round of the year.  We also dive into the headline making decision to move away from Phillip Island and onto a brand-new Australian street circuit from 2027, and what that could mean for riders, teams and fans. There's plenty more from the wider paddock too, with the latest news and talking points from MotoGP, British Superbikes & AMA. And of course, it wouldn't be OSL without a bit of jeopardy. Jack puts Whit to the test in Jack Track Trivia, this time all about Phillip Island, before firing listener questions straight at him in a no-holds barred Presser Q&A Session. New Season, Same Full-Throttle Energy / Mayhem.  Let's Go 🏁 Enjoying the Show? Support: 🚨OSL YouTube Membership - £2.99 / Month🚨 Want more Outside Line and less waiting around?
