Ride the TT course with Simon and podium finisher Dom Herbertson!
🕑 Added 2025-05-31 10:26:14 +0000 UTCHave a first look at something very special that we're putting out on our MotoGP YouTube channel later today.
Simon recruited Isle of Man TT podium finisher Dom Herbertson and hopped on the back of a BMW street bike for a unique lap of the whole 37.73-mile circuit during which Dom shares his tips on how to take each corner and anecdotes from racing at the TT over their radio mic link, with the whole lap filmed on our Insta360 camera.
It's an amazing way to appreciate the challenge of the course, and Dom and Simon's love for the TT absolutely bursts through their chat. It's hilarious in places... and very instructive on how to set a quick time if you reckon you might ever race at the TT yourself!

Dom's a peach. Fun to ride with him!

Loving the TT content, thanks so much for covering Simon!!
Matthew Cook
This concept is excellent, but that camera angle is an abomination. The rider needs a chin cam.
Steven Schaben
Absolutely brilliant. My respect for any rider who takes on this challenge has grown massively. Thank you Simon, thank you Dom!
Amanda Kirchner

I remember Dom as a kid k ocking about in the paddock when his dad (Mark) was racing in the classic Manx on a G50 and I competed in the Junior and Senior on the R6. Happy days. Dom has come some way since then. Top lad.

This has to be the best motorsport content I’ve seen. My favourite Road Racer, with Simon on the back talking through the course, both of you with so much enthusiasm. Just wow.

Hi Jay, that's definitely something we've discussed since we started running more and more podcast episodes in full video form too. So far we've stuck with audio on Patreon partly because from previous member surveys it had been the audio content that had been most popular, but we know the membership's growing and evolving all the time. The other element with MotoGP is that under Dorna's restrictions, we can include clips from rider media sessions in audio podcasts but not the video ones, and as we're doing more and more of that we wanted Patreon to get the full versions of the episodes with those clips included. But we're keen for more views on this as the video podcast move is a very recent one for us. - Matt

What a bloke Dom is. Incredible that he can process all that at whatever stupid mph the corner calls for. Thank you both, for the tour and a taste of the camaraderie.

Haven’t watched this video yet but I would like to reach out to the team about this feedback I have. I would like to ask why the podcast episodes here on Patreon don’t come with video too, just like the YouTube ones. It would be nice to have the video option here on Patreon, the paid platform.
