This week’s episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast is the first in a special series of extended interviews between Toby Moody and legendary characters from grand prix racing – starting with none other than Jeremy McWilliams.
The Belfast-born rider developed a reputation as a fierce competitor in 250cc, 500cc and MotoGP, and still has an enormous appetite for racing today – as evidenced by the fact he’s still competing aged 59.
In this episode, McWilliams talks about breaking into grand prix racing in 1993, why he moved back and forth between 250cc and 500cc 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.
