Show Notes
He was cool before motorcycle racing knew how to market cool. Sending it way before Full Send became a thing. In this special episode of Gas It Out, Gavin Emmett, Neil Hodgson and Sylvain Guintoli sit down with 1993 500cc World Champion Kevin Schwantz at his Texas ranch for a funny, honest and often fascinating deep dive into one of the most captivating careers the sport has ever seen. Brief but brilliant. From motocross beginnings to Grand Prix glory, Schwantz reflects on the fearless style, fierce rivalries and split-second decisions that made him a legend. He talks Rainey, Roberts, Doohan, Rossi and Marquez, the brutality of the 500s, the weight of winning a world title, and the moment he knew it was finally time to walk away. There are brilliant stories, proper racing nuggets, and a real sense of what made Schwantz such a unique rider - flamboyant, all-action, and always absolutely committed. A life spent sideways, and not much regret about any of it.

Two blokes, one car, a couple of dodgy AirPods and the long road to Phillip Island!
All that drama, and what have we got to show for it? Exactly the same two-point gap between Jorge Martin and Marc Marquez at the top of the MotoGP World Championship!
Marc Márquez looks different right now. More serious, more focused and, as Neil puts it, completely locked in.
Moto2 World Champion. MotoGP podium finisher. KTM development rider. TV pundit. And still bloody fast.
MotoGP heads east, and the championship is entering the pressure cooker.
