'I'm F****** EVERYONE in FP1!' - TOMMY BRIDEWELL
Our guest this week needs little introduction - joined by our great mate Ben Currie one last time before he steps aside from his co-host role, we sit down with 2023 Bennetts British Superbike Champion Tommy Bridewell! We talk all things Honda Racing, we talk about the transition to the ’24 Honda Fireblade, the start to the BSB season and just what’s changed in Tommy himself because I sure noticed it and it’s great to see. With the usual caveats for colouful language throughout, this is Honda Racing’s British Superbike Champion, Tommy Bridewell!

'I HAVE to PERFORM, that's the REALITY' - ANDREW IRWIN
มุมมอง 4K19 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
This week's guest has had a difficult time over the last 12 months in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship. After sustaining a career-threatening injury during the Knockhill test in '23, coupled with helping develop a brand-new Honda Fireblade for ’24, it’s not been an easy time for the likeable Northern Irishman. The good news is the Fireblade is working extremely well and even better n...

We also talk about other important subjects like the merits of sausage and mash and which guests he’...

After a successful career on the smaller bikes, stepping up to road racing and adjusting to the bigger machines is starting to pay dividends as he continues to learn and improve with every lap, whether it’s the NW200, the TT or Armoy. Welcome back to the sho...

Looking clean and mean, the self belief is absolute, and no one would doubt he can take the championship again, more determined than ever.
Great podcast. I respect Tommy and his no bullshit attitude. I hope he wins the title again this season. He's been around a long time and put the hard work in. He's reaping the rewards now.
Great conversation well steered by Dave. Love Tommy's open and honest personality.
Can’t not love him on and off track! Guys a legend 🙏🏽
I'm in no way a TB fan at all, BUT whether you like him or not you can't help but respect the man. Good bad or indifferent he tell's it like it is.
Nicely put, Daniel 🙌🏼
I would love to see Tommy in MotoGP.......his hilarious personality would send the Grand Prix paddock into turmoil😂😂
So nice to see Tommy doing so well. Such a character and i'm sure the Honda team will have a good time this year "off track" at least. Pun intended. I think they might struggle to get that last 5% over the whole season. Would love to be wrong though. That would be some achievement. Like Rossi doing his Honda➡️Yamaha miracle. In fact going from the Ducati to a Honda might be even more impressive. Such vastly different engines. Wishing everyone all the best.👍
Thanks for your kind words, Mark. The Honda project is not to be underestimated, especially not with the further involvement of HRC now. If Tommy keeps to his word as he did in Scotland he’ll be hard to beat and he leads the championship for a reason 👀 I hope you’re doing ok, Mark 🙏🏼
Proper. Just RACE. Thank you 😎🏍🏁⚡️
A rider with morals....would have stayed with PBM After PB's passing because of he's commitment to you....but no you went chasing Honda....I've always followed you, but you've gone down in my estimations now!!!
That’s what you took from the full 75 minute show? That’s a shame
Tommy and michael both members of a club neither want to be part of. Losing a sibling 💔
Great stuff Dave & Ben. Really insightful Tommy, thank you. 👍
Cheers, Ian 🙌🏼
Great podcast with Tommy , we need a P2 to it , Tommy seems like a great guy and personality , I’d love to spend a few days with him , I bet it would be a great Crack
There’ll be a part two after the end of the season, we’ve already had the invite down to Devizes 🙌🏼 to be fair there may be a quick catch up in between but time will tell on that one…
Guy's !!! what a bloody awesome interview been glued luv Tommy to bits what a star and worthy Champion , gotta see him in worlds one of these days and I reckon it will be on a Honda .What a shame Ben can't do anymore on the pod but with his other commitments it's completely understandable wish both ben and Tommy the absolute best for the rest of the season .Dave a stonking interview and I guess now it's go it alone time on the pod or is it Jen ?😉either or it's gonna be mega anyway cheers 👌👍More more !!
I can only echo your words, CM - when Ben’s had the opportunity to come on he’s been superb and I’ll miss his input, especially that rider’s eye view as that’s something I’ll never have. As for Jen, never say never… 😊 Huge thanks as always, CM 🙏🏼
Tommy rules, but how about MARK CAVENDISH 🎉, age is just a number. Yahoo
Great podcast 😊 as always ❤
Thank you so very much, DS 🙏🏼😊
Brilliant that one, enjoy Tommy's passion in all things in general.
I really don't know how I feel about him. He is an interesting guy, and I wish him the best...Great podcast.
Appreciate you watching and thanks for the kind comments 🙏🏼
Brilliant podcast Dave, Tommy being Tommy and good on him…..cheers to Ben for his input, asking questions that only a racer can, he’ll be missed. Wish them both well for the season 🥃
Thanks so much, Neil! Yeah there are certain questions and feelings I’ll NEVER have so it’s been great to have that input from Ben 🙏🏼
Brilliant, I love the way that after the tragedy with Ollie & his incredibly difficult early career in the aftermath of that he has found the strength to turn everything around & show hie undoubted talent, a great rider, proper bloke and I’m sure he has much more ability that we have not yet seen, rock on Tommy go get em
It’s definitely not been an easy road in any way shape or form, and it’s easy for people to forget that. Thanks so much, Ray 🙌🏼
At 7:50 sounds like Tommy just been on the helium!!!🤣🤣
Tommy is just being real. Who really wants boring buggers.
There are plenty of those about through the world of motorcycle racing - more characters are definitely needed in the sport 🙌🏼
GO GO GO FELLA YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES SO TAKE WHAT YA HAVE !!
A rider who is now at his peak, honestly I thought he would have more difficulty with the Honda but he's proved me wrong good and proper. Olli would be proud!
Most of us did, myself included and I’m delighted to be proven wrong 😁
Another great one!
Thanks a lot Andy 🙌🏼
Was this before or after bens fight with a caravan step?
Before 😁
Rock on Tommy your the best lad. I'm from Northern Ireland and I'm rooting for you mate. 😅 🚜 🚜 🚜
Great interview Dave, as you know I've been waiting for this one for a while since you told me on FB it was coming. I love this guy so much, racing would be so dull without him on the grid, racing needs personalities, Tommy has that in abundance along with the incredible talent of racing motorbikes. What you see is what you get with him. Fingers cross for the championship this year. Hopefully see you at Snett on Sunday Dave
If he keeps to his word and the Honda continues to perform then he’s in with the best shout possible. As for Snett, we’re sadly not there this weekend mate, we’re on a Stag and Hen Do respectively 🙏🏼
Another great chat with a larger than life character. You are the new Chris Carter at Redgate Lodge chat night, Dave. Keep up the great work.
High praise, Shaun - thank you so much mate, that really means a lot 😊
Tommy is a PR nightmare/dream... he is Tommy and will never change, which for Joe public is fantastic, on a PR perpective absolutely frightening... I think Honda have had Joey and John both being the same and have learned that thats how us Brits are... Fantastic to see Tommy pushing the team and driving them forward. I believe that the team will be in for a shout at the title this year, fingers crossed Tommy will do the double...
Trust me he won’t win the championship this year
Bold statement…
@Bazza_5968 we will have to wait a few months to see who's statement is correct... Honda want and need to be back at the front, Tommy is bloody hungry for that 2nd title... I think there may have been some encouragement from HRC at Donnington, maybe a WSBK ride?, if Tommy wins...
Glenn irwin is defo a better rider than Tommy 😊
Wudn’t say better, def more dangerous
@@Bazza_5968 when Tommy took out irwin at Donington I would say Tommy is dangerous
@@foxylad1530 u obv havn’t seen Glenn on the roads. Some of the moves i’v seen him make over the years at the Northwest is madness
Just a typical example of one of the haters that Tommy eluded too right from the outset, negative but also shows courage to win then go to Honda.
@@windsor5878 oh yeah babyyyy #1 irwin
Great pod Tommys a nutter 😂😂😂
Thanks John 🙌🏼😁
Thanks
Wow thank you so much, Chris 🙏🏼😊
What happened at 20 mins Dave?! 😜
Nothing to see, David, just a glitch in the editing… 😇
@@OffTrack_Podcast Exactly what I thought. 😁
@@OffTrack_Podcast 😂😂😂
Great interview. Not sure of the need for f*** in every other sentence though. Not sure Honda would condone it.
Appreciate your kind words 😊 Tommy is who he is and he won’t change and for me with my Superbike PR hat on neither should he because like Scott, DT, and others, you get the best out of them when they can be themselves. Honda are well aware of the content (they checked over the audio before I edited it) and approved it. Understand how you feel, it doesn’t suit everyone but grateful for you watching 🙏🏼
I totally agree there's a time and place for swearing. It's only a lack of vocabulary. Yes I swear BUT not in public or if women are present.
He swears but he's not rude or bad mannered in fact as a man he is the opposite, he's a lovely fella with nothing but manners and respect for those that treat him in the same way. We're all different
Another great podcast mate
Too kind and much appreciated 😊
Great interview
Cheers Timmy, much appreciated mate ✊🏼
Brilliant
Thank you Andrew, that means a lot 🙏🏼
You’re doing great on the Honda Tommy keep up the good work
Listened yesterday and just watched some of it back this morning, loved Andrew's answer to my question about how he thinks he's matured, and I think he's now starting to become the polished rider we all know he can be..once he's back up the front, I suspect a lot of people will be surprised by just how fast he is!
what a great podcast andy a top lad.
what a great podcast andy a top lad
Top bloke
Off to find your earlier interview with him now. Enjoyed that. Seen him occasionally on Lee's vlog but never an interview before.
Cheers Andrew, it's audio only from April 22, 'Oulton Park Test Special'
Had a tour of the TT circuit with Steve this year. What a guy. Incredibly funny, so many stories. He even bought us all a beer in the Sulby as well. Top bloke. 👌🏻
Cheers, Steven - sounds like a great time was had by all 😁🍻
Fantastic chat, loved this 👏
Thanks Peter, really happy that you enjoyed it 🙏🏼
Great man
Particularly enjoyed this one as a fan of Andrew’s riding. Great to see him back up at the front and on the pace at Knockhill. Hopefully will lead to a run of better luck.
Hopefully the corner has been turned, Graeme - I’d like to see the Snetterton weekend back up the the efforts of Knockhill ✊🏼
When I did schoolboy mx nationals Philip was one of the top riders of that time , the Irish invasion including the chambers brothers, coincidentally same class as the late paul bird also bloody fast in their day.
Great guest really enjoy his enthusiasm, so hope he gets back to where he deserves to be, winning 👌
What a fantastic guy ,,,go coops
