TT PODCAST: WINNING LINES – OUT NOW
The brand-new episode of the TT Podcast: Winning Lines is out now – and it’s the perfect way to get ready for TT 2025.
Recorded ‘as live’ on Sunday night at the Gaiety Theatre, this special edition marks a first for the TT Podcast - bringing fans face-to-face with the biggest names from TT 2024, live on stage.
First to take the stage were Ben Birchall and Dean Harrison – both multi-time TT winners. Between them, they’ve stacked up an incredible haul of victories: Ben, a dominant force in sidecar racing with multiple titles to his name, and Dean, one of the leading solo riders of the current generation. Both are fired up to chase even more TT glory in 2025.
Chatting to Chris and Lee, Ben spoke openly about his recent injuries and his journey back to full fitness ahead of this year’s TT, what keeps him motivated, and what it’s like adapting to a new passenger onboard. Dean, meanwhile, is fully focused – acknowledging that the field is only getting quicker, he shared his thoughts on what it will take to get back on the top step in such fierce company.
Next up on the TT sofa was Davey Todd - the reigning Milwaukee Senior TT winner, a title he’ll proudly carry until all eyes turn to the next edition of the race on Saturday 7th June. Davey reflected on what it means to win the one that everyone is after, and how that success has fuelled his ambitions for this year’s TT - despite impacting his performance in other races post-TT last year.
That confidence and momentum have carried Davey into a bold new move – joining forces with Peter Hickman. Handing over the mic, Peter took the stage to talk about being teammates with his challenger, as well as some of the tougher moments from his own 2024 TT campaign – including walking the audience through his dramatic off at Ginger Hall. From team-building to bouncing back, Peter shared his signature mix of honesty and insight.
And then it was time for the GOAT.
Michael Dunlop, now officially recognised as the greatest TT rider of all time, gave an insightful interview about the pressure that comes with that status, his lifetime ambition, and what keeps him coming back.
The Crowe brothers, now the ones to watch in the sidecar scene, rounded off the show with a look back at their breakthrough TT. Standing on the top step alongside some of the biggest sidecar names in history, the pair reflected on a magical moment – and asked the question: could there have been a better sidecar podium?
You can watch the entire show for free on TT+ or listen now on all major podcast platforms.
