Toby talks to... Jeremy McWilliams, the ultimate racer

This week's podcast sees Toby Moody return for the first in a special series of extended interviews with legendary characters from Grand Prix racing, and who better to start with than Jeremy McWilliams?

The Belfast-born rider developed a reputation as a fierce competitor in 250s, 500s and MotoGP, and still has an enormous appetite for racing today - as evidenced by the fact he's still competing aged 59!

On this show he talks about breaking into Grand Prix racing in 1993, why he moved back and forth between 250s and 500s over the course of his career, his memorable win at Assen in 2001, the famous pole he scored for Team Roberts at Phillip Island in 2002, and what he learned racing against Valentino Rossi.

He also discusses his late career move into road racing, shares his thoughts on the introduction of sprint races, and explains why he's not against the proliferation of wings and other aero devices in modern MotoGP.
