30 mins(ish) with KYLE RYDE!

Kyle Ryde might be in the middle of his most successful BSB season to date but the LAMI OMG Racing man is still cool enough to sit and have a chat with with us about his results so far, the Tommy Hill effect, why he uses a different tyre to almost everyone else and his Boxer dog, Sully. It's also not lost on us that he loves his snooker and the fact he's episode 147...

Nice touch at the end guys 💔 really enjoyed that you’re getting the hang of this podcast lark 😘

[@crumblymal8479]

Superb !! such an interesting thing with the riders and indeed all top sports men / women self belief and yet you would think that the fact that these guys have got into the top class in this country and like Kyle had podiums/wins and is in a top team yet still their can be doubt , even in MotoGP I would bet it is the same for those guy's with maybe an odd exception. So much is achieved in the mind before getting on the bike and even the best can never seem to completely control it I wonder why that is ?. Is this where a sports phycologist comes in and does Kyle or Ryan or any of these guys go down that road ? another awesome interview showing the human side of the riders and the fact these guys are not robots .👌👍

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thanks so much, CrumblyMal 🙏🏼 This is exactly when a sports psychologist can help but the rider has to be receptive to it first or it won't work. Lack of self-belief and lack of confidence almost go hand in hand - confidence can be replenished fairly quickly but the self-belief can linger on. Because it's such an individual sport, a strong mind is vital to succeed.

Good luck to Kyle he is one of top favourite riders deserves to be up the top. A smart rider for sure.

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Agreed 100% 🙏🏼

[@bomber704]

Fantastic episode big Kyle fan

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thanks Bomber, appreciate your kind words 🙌🏼

[@davegreenslade4539]

He 💯 percent deserves to be there or he wouldn’t be simple as that! Having fun and smiling makes for fast laps 👍

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Couldn't agree more, Dave 🙌🏼

[@andrewlucas6214]

Great interview. From watching Kyle on gp2, I would have love to see him taking it to Acosta and Dixon in moto 2!

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thanks, Andrew! Yeah agreed, a different time and different opportunities would have seen him a strong contender in Moto2.

[@davegreenslade4539]

Dogs are the best fact!

[@ChumiStu]

What really pisses me off is when I rider (or any professional athlete) is interviewed on race days ‘we made a few changes and looking forward to the race’ PR nonsense. I get it, but it’s a waste of air time. How refreshing when Kyle goes into detail about using the sc2 tyre. This is what the podcast is about, no nonsense, honest chat.

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

Thanks ChumiStu, we certainly try to get the best out of our guests. Some you can, some you can't. Some want to share and explain, some don't. It's the nature of racing. Thank you so much for your kind words 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@sozzle600]

I do like Kyle but I feel he's talked himself out of the win in his head before he even gets to the track. Needs help with his head and he will be champion

[@OffTrack_Podcast]

It's something he's worked hard on over the off season and throughout the year. Third in the championship and six wins, he believes now 😊

[@Horsecockbadger]

He looks and rides very similarly to david jeffries.
