Toby talks to... Wayne Gardner, frank-talking 500cc world champion

On this week’s episode we’re delighted to bring you another ‘Toby Talks To’ conversation, which this week sees host Toby Moody sit down for a lively chat with 1987 500cc world champion Wayne Gardner.

In typically forthright style, Wayne talks us through his remarkable career, including how he got his move to HRC, what it was like to ride bikes that would frequently high side, and how he won the world championship in 1987.

He also talks about his great rivals of the time, the role he played in bringing Mick Doohan to Honda, and why he chose to bow out of Grand Prix racing after the 1992 season, with a subsequent move into car racing.

There is also chat about Casey Stoner, how Gardner nurtured his son Remy’s fledgling career on bikes, and what he would change about modern MotoGP.

And finally, Gardner shares his thoughts on the plight of his former team, Honda, giving his view on what needs to change to bring them back to the front.
