McGuinness and Martin - team-mates talk business

John McGuinness and Guy Martin make a formidable team as the Honda Racing roads team prepares for its assault on the 2017 road race season.
What happens when two TT legends talk about being team-mates, tea, running, push bikes and who is better over the Mountain at the TT?
Grab a comfy seat and a cup of tea and enjoy McGuinness and Martin - team-mates talk business.

[@ST-vu3ph]

When John says "imagine how good you would be if you concentrate". That is high praise, seriously.

[@sleepwalker8600]

Phillip McCallen said the same thing to him at the NW

[@mr.ajayjose]

You'd never find 2 riders in the GP paddock have this sort of conversation. Proper gents!

[@chriscox52282]

Yes. Love these fellas. Brits are the best.

[@tomwallhead6950]

Crutchlow an smith might

[@TheMartinH13]

May all the riders make it home safe this year

[@jacobhendrickson8935]

martin hannon no doubt. I worry about Jon the most as he has just beat the odds so many times.

[@ajdprotocol]

Martin Hannon, Top man, Well Said

[@midnightpostman5332]

God bless

[@Csirkefoga]

Guy keeps reminding me, that English is my second language... 😂😂

[@PressurenFlames]

Same here :D This Guy is hard to follow..

[@matagi2010]

My husband is English born and bred and he had no idea what Guy Martin was saying. I had to "translate" :-D

[@wildone2163]

you have to feel it, not following it :)

He have Asperguers...

[@Csirkefoga]

matagi2010 so in other words, I'm doing fine then eh? Thanks for the compliment! 😜 Anyway, Guy has true character, and the passion of 10 other men. Full respect!!

[@brenc3285]

Love interviews like this. Just two of the most humble and down to earth blokes chatting about their passion. Easy to forget that these pair are a couple of the bravest people ever to get on two wheels.....

[@mikerodent5205]

Most emotional line in the whole interview. "If you would apply yourself a few weeks of the year you would be magnificent Guy Martin." That one really got me. Thanks gentlemen!!!!!!

[@Worther12]

I think both these guys are true gentlemen, honest, humble and truly gifted. Good Luck in 2017!

[@ellioteslander3046]

Yeah nah honda bikes almost killed both of them.

[@Mickyboy]

Legends. They should have the two of them do a TV series together.

[@fenderstratguy]

I need subtitles for half of it

[@funkymonkeylovin]

I’d watch that.

[@yensabi]

Two road racing legends in the same room talking a lot of sense.....what more can I say.......👍👍👍

[@Nightowl1990]

if this was tv show I would watch it in heartbeat!

Kasim Bajrami same. 👌

GM - "I'll learn off you, I'll learn off you" JM - "I'm not telling you too much!". Haha.

[@chriscox52282]

These are two of my most favorite guys in racing. So glad theyve paired up this year.

[@markgrice8088]

you can just feel the love and respect theses guys have for each other...bless em

[@monsterMike62]

mark grice TOTALLY agree!

[@endlessrage4062]

John is SUCH a legend. Awesome rider. I love Guy though, what an absolute gent he is. One of the few people in public eye that I'd love to meet. You gotta laugh, "time to win a big boys race!" 😂 John giving Guy some stick! Superb! He's right though, concentrate 100% on the TT, Guy, and you'll do it! Great banter, the very best of luck to you both. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@airdoctor1251]

He is an adorable character but not a legend. Can't wait for the next TT.

[@lukeh8392]

Really want to see Guy win a TT now!

[@daviddavid1972]

Who's not a legend?

[@jamespalmer9556]

Endless Rage are you an idiot? guy and john are not on the level that ian hutchinson is, hutchy is the king, the first man to win all 3 classes every race

[@endlessrage4062]

James Palmer nah, just expressing an opinion. Just because someone holds different views than you, doesn't make them an idiot. Chill, brother. 😎

[@philclarke7712]

Laughed my arse off! Good ole' northern banter, lad.

[@paulprohaska5373]

They are both so nice personalitys. I'm happy to See them on an fireblade 😍

[@dpounder101]

the fireblade almost killed them.

[@renegade1987]

I can't help but be a Guy Martin fan lol - such a top bloke, I wish him all the best and I hope he gets his first win.

[@leoncharite6547]

6 mins in and I'm in tears of laughter listening to the two of them 🤣🤣 the two greatest tt racers and personalities

[@imbok]

These are two very fast gentlemen indeed.

[@theincrediblesulk5543]

The banter is strong in these two

[@DM-qp7do]

I grew up with a mother from northern England and I'm struggling a bit to understand everything they're saying but I'm catching myself smiling throughout this entire interview. Love these guys. Cheers.

[@Lutzilla_]

i love these guys..so much grounded and so much fast..my full respect! greetz from germany:-)

[@trevorbelmont9820]

the thumbnail proves their love and respect towards each other ...

[@scottybhoy8375]

[@mikes9722]

Scotty Bhoy epic year!

[@TheFireblade1000RR]

specially if they use new Fireblade and both look like proper lads

[@scottybhoy8375]

Hoping honda pull something outa the bag they have kinda been lagging behind and only the riders keep they old bikes in the running, hope these new fireblades have got something to give john and guy we shall wait and see tho

Spot on

scrubbin627 and Ian Hutchinson at this years TT. Spat him off during practice at 135mph and they had no explanation as to why it happened. Shocking

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

@@jfoz7602 I just don't feel like Fireblade's are as free flowing as you'd want them to be for this gig. (I can't find the word.) 🤔

[@iamtherealzombie]

Miss Guy's racing so much.. wish he'd got to see that top step at the TT before hanging up his leathers.

[@wormytom]

John and guy travel around papua new guinea, like the odd couple. here's a set up for a TV show

Thomas yes make it happen, sounds awsome 😂

[@ProfPlump-ug3xe]

Guy Martin has the best personality in the world, and he isn't even trying to be cool. Love this guy!

[@SeerTrulth]

When you really think of the off-the-planet focus these two are capable of, particularly John, you just sit there thankful they even talk to us.

[@mauriceh7558]

proper teammate , proper team , proper bit of kit, stay on the bloody thing this time guy!

[@Bassalicious]

These guys are such racers. You can feel how everything else apart from racing just doesn't matter to them. So nice and yet so competitive. It's kinda heart warming, isn't it? :D

[@beltitovillanuevareyes6885]

The best 2 man in TT you know in the world.

[@GTiR23]

Love that huge competitive streak just bubbling away beneath the surface of them both.

Two fantastic motorcycle racers, all the best for this years TT.

[@garygadd2180]

loved watching this interview you can tell that they really like each other , good bit of banter, hope Guy is on the top step this year though, I really hope every one who goes to the TT makes it home safe. GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE RIDERS PIT CREWE.

A great pairing this for a team, i have massive respect for both of these characters.Good luck to John and Guy.

[@Strawberry80x]

Never had any interest in Motorbikes until I came across Guy Martin, humble chap. I soon learned about JM and both seem like top blokes great team to put together.

[@delahayenator]

What great atmosphere betwern these two teammates and competitors. Geniune nice people.

those two are awesome and funny as hell.looking forward to it this year

[@manmedel]

Guy Martin... Super charismatic, of the best drivers in the world Best regards Medel

[@grayman999]

That was bloody brilliant let's hope Guy gets his win been a long time coming John Mc made some very valid points about Guys concentration !

[@mikecollings2808]

Could listen to these two all night

That bike nearly robbed us of both of them. That bike wasn't ready to race.

[@johnpartridge7623]

Better wind me Neck in lol, Two great Sportsmen able to trade paint but still have the greatest respect for each other with no problems either. Respect to you both 👍

[@Twins660]

I could watch these two all day

[@abijithchenthamarakshan4766]

dream team came true . i am big time fan of Guy Martin . John is like a legend ... Both in Honda its just woww... wish i was there at IOM to see them twist the throttle this year.

[@thinkcivil1627]

The TT is the standard in road racing. The top drivers in the world, but the sober reality that the ragged edge is so thin there. I'm always amazed.

[@Zalonka]

You see the respect and fire burning in Martin. You see the feeling of accomplishment and hope in McGuinness. They are both humble and amazing to meet in person. Lets be real here for a moment though. I don't think anyone can doubt that McGuinness would be just as happy if Martin wins than he would be if he won again. Maybe even happier that he was able to focus Martin's natural talent enough to help a champion emerge. I really hope I get to meet these two Gentleman sometime. I can't afford to go to the TT this year though. As a college student in the U.S. it's just not in the cards for awhile to come. I feel like I'm missing out on the world by not going.

[@spoonz1065]

I never saw this Glad I did though . Really enjoyed it. Both are legends

[@KenjiMapes]

Martin and McGuinness are the best. I can’t understand Guy half the time but what a great guy. Keeps his day job, isn’t impressed by fame and continually works his butt off and pushes the limits of his comfort zone.

[@sirsilver1968]

Tea, trucks and motor homes, northern humour at its finest from 2 legends

[@Bertjanvandermeer]

Good stuff. Both down to earth and real sportsman. Game on!

[@Graeme2812]

If Guy can't do it on this 2017 Honda, then I don't think he'll ever do it. To have John in the same paddock as him is surely the best inspiration and motivation he will ever need. I hope John has all the success and I wish both (and all) riders safe riding.

[@ukdnbmarsh]

2 of the best riders of all time in the same team, i cant wait.

[@jasonhutt9117]

2 legends this never gets old

[@legendx3957]

My best to lads having a chat, love these 2. Together as team mates friggin awesome.

[@fmk6john]

Guy is a follower and this is what he needs, John has rarely if never been beaten by his team mates and guy will see that as a challenge, once the bit is between his teeth then guy will give it all he has to break that challenge.

[@jacobhendrickson8935]

I like them both. What a great set for team mates.
