Stu Shenton is back!

This week Nick Harris and Julian Ryder are joined once again by legendary Grand Prix mechanic and crew chief Stu Shenton for another fascinating journey through a lifetime spent at the very heart of motorcycle racing.

Stu first joined us in Episode 59, but with a career stretching back to the 1970s and encompassing World Championship success with Kawasaki, Honda and Suzuki, there were simply far too many stories to fit into one visit.

So we've invited him back!

From Kork Ballington and Freddie Spencer to Wayne Gardner, Kevin Schwantz, Anthony Gobert, John Hopkins and Loris Capirossi, Stu worked alongside some extraordinary riders during an extraordinary period in Grand Prix racing.

This time Nick and Jules once again tap into Stu's remarkable memory as he shares more stories about the riders, motorcycles, engineers, teams and characters he encountered along the way.

It's a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of Grand Prix racing from someone who wasn't merely watching history unfold – he was part of it.

Racing Back is the MotoGP and motorcycle racing podcast hosted by Nick Harris and Julian Ryder, featuring legendary riders, World Champions, mechanics, engineers, journalists and paddock insiders sharing incredible first-hand stories from MotoGP, 500cc Grand Prix racing and motorcycle racing history. Episode 68 welcomes back legendary Grand Prix mechanic and crew chief Stu Shenton for more stories from his extraordinary career.

This week on Racing Back, Nick Harris and Julian Ryder are joined by Terry Rymer – British Superbike Champion, twice an Endurance World Champion and five-time winner of the legendary Bol d'Or.

And with Terry's incredible history in endurance racing, Jules is very much in his element!

Terry's career spans an extraordinary period of motorcycle racing, from British and World Superbikes to competing – and winning – in some of the toughest endurance races on the planet.

In 1992 he became FIM Endurance World Champion and repeated the achievement in 1999. Along the way came an incredible five victories at the Bol d'Or, establishing Terry as one of Britain's most successful endurance racers.

Nick and Jules delve into the racing, the motorcycles, the teams and the characters behind those achievements, as Terry shares stories from a discipline that demands something very different from both rider and machine.

Because endurance racing isn't simply about being fast.

It's about maintaining that performance hour after hour, sharing the motorcycle with your teammates and relying on an entire team to keep rider and machine competitive through some of the toughest conditions in motorsport.

Superbikes, World Championships, endurance racing and FIVE Bol d'Or victories – there's a lot to talk about!
