Remy Gardner on life in MotoGP - and the shocking health toll

The MotoGP summer break may be in full swing, but The Race MotoGP Podcast never sleeps! This week, Toby, Simon and Val introduce a very special conversation with Tech3 KTM rider Remy Gardner, in what is the first of a string of special episodes to keep you entertained until racing returns.

In a relaxed and revealing long-form chat, Gardner opens up on his life in and away from MotoGP, including his thoughts on how his debut season in the premier class is going so far and why media depictions of his relationship with team-mate Raul Fernandez shouldn’t be believed.

But most revealingly of all, the reigning Moto2 champion speaks frankly about the enormous toll racing in MotoGP plays on riders’ bodies, detailing the extent of the injuries he’s sustained to date and why he and many other riders fear for their quality of life after racing.

Warning: This podcast contains graphic descriptions of injuries. Listener discretion advised.
