This week’s Torq Moto Podcast Show sees part two of the Stephen Sword interview. In episode one ‘Swordy’ opened up on his illustrious racing career and looked back in great detail, from where it all started living near Lockerbie, Scotland and being a Team Green youth rider through to his best years racing the 125cc and MX2 world championship where he held the red plate until bad luck and injuries ended his quest for a world title, before moving into MX1.
In this episode, Stephen talks about how his racing career came to a close, and what he did once it all stopped to where he is now as a riding coach. He also discusses the current state of the sport, the modern-day crop of riders, and racing in the Evo scene with hosts DocWob and Jeffro Perrett. In particular, Farleigh Castle and what it’s like riding a CR500 when the throttle sticks wide open! Throughout both interviews, we see an informative, relaxed and enthusiastic Swordy, arguably a side of his personality not many people got to see in his racing heyday. It’s all good stuff from a man who kept his cards close to his chest during his racing career.
