    CHAPTER 412 Ft. Randy Mamola

    22/07/2026 | 3h 3 mins.
    Randy Mamola won 13 Grand Prix races and finished runner-up in the 500cc World Championship four times. He joins Jase to look back on racing Eddie Lawson as a kid, Kenny Roberts changing the sport, the Honda NSR500, Mick Doohan's career, and the story behind the Ferrari Cagiva insisted he take despite never winning a race for them, the one he tried to turn down.
    They also break down whether MotoGP has reached its ceiling before the 850cc era, which manufacturer is best positioned for the future, who would really be fastest on equal machinery without electronics, Randy's 20 years on the two-seat Grand Prix bike, and the work behind Riders for Health, the charity he co-founded.

    CHAPTER 411 Ft. Billy Bolt

    16/07/2026 | 2h 54 mins.
    Billy Bolt is one of the most recognisable personalities in motorsport, and not just because he's one of the fastest, most technically gifted off-road riders on the planet. The 6-time SuperEnduro World Champion and 2021 Hard Enduro World Champion has built a fanbase that's just as loyal to his personality as his results, and in this episode he brings all of it.
    Jase and Billy get into why he thinks motocross riders are scared to show their personalities, why hard enduro still isn't as big as supercross (and what enduro has that moto doesn't), the hand injury that turned into a nightmare, becoming a father, the insanity of Erzberg and the Isle of Man TT, modern traction control on dirt bikes, why he started vlogging, and his unfiltered takes on the biggest names in moto, including why Haiden Deegan just doesn't care and his Chase Sexton conspiracy theory.

    CHAPTER 409 Ft. Sara Aydin

    09/07/2026 | 2h 28 mins.
    Sara Aydin taught herself to ride, ignored the people who said women didn't belong on motorcycles, and became one of the most-watched female stunt riders in the world. From wheelies through city streets to high-speed police chases and starring in Rosalía's award-winning "SAOKO" music video, she turned her passion for motorcycles into a global career.

    In this episode, Sara opens up about her family's immigrant roots, choosing motorcycles over the traditional path her parents envisioned, teaching herself to wheelie, signing with Monster Energy, filming "SAOKO," surviving serious injuries, the craziest police chases she's experienced, and why she's determined to inspire the next generation of female riders.

    CHAPTER 410 Ft. Nic Hamilton

    09/07/2026 | 3h 9 mins.
    Nicolas Hamilton was once pushed through the Formula 1 paddock in a wheelchair by his older brother, Lewis Hamilton. Years later, he stood on the podium in the British Touring Car Championship, one of the toughest racing series in the world. Born with cerebral palsy, Nic had to fight for every step, every opportunity, and every chance to prove he belonged in motorsport. Once the visor came down, he wasn't seen for his disability, he was judged as a racing driver.

    In Chapter 410 of the Gypsy Tales Podcast, Nic opens up about growing up with cerebral palsy, the Hamilton family's parenting, his relationship with Lewis, dating and self worth, overcoming a gambling addiction, the financial reality of racing, earning his first BTCC podium, and what's next in 2026. This is one of the most honest and inspiring conversations we've ever had.

    CHAPTER 408 Ft. Anton Wass

    05/07/2026 | 3h 14 mins.
    Four years ago, the idea of an electric dirt bike changing motocross sounded impossible. Today, the Stark VARG is competing against the best riders and manufacturers in the world, and Stark Future founder Anton Wass returns to Gypsy Tales to explain how it happened. From the latest VARG developments and battery technology to hard enduro dominance, AMA Supercross ambitions, and why he believes combustion bikes could become purely nostalgic within the next decade, Anton shares the vision driving one of the most disruptive companies in motorsports.
    Beyond motorcycles, Anton and Jase dive into artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, the future of work, universal basic income, and what it takes to lead a company that's challenging an entire industry. Whether you're passionate about motocross, technology, or the future of innovation, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
