Desert Island Discs · Guy Martin, presenter and former motorcycle racer · 28 Jun 2026 podcast

Having discovered my love for endurance mountain bike racing and thinking there's more to life than racing motorbikes, right?

if I wasn't fully committed to doing it, I shouldn't really be doing it because something like this would happen.

And that crash didn't happen through lack of concentration.

That crash happened through trying to win.

And I was leading at the time.

And you don't mind crashing if it's for a win.

But crashing through a lack of concentration, I'd have a job living with that.

Or would that be what finished me off?

So I thought, I can't deal with that, really.

I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'm going to pack in and I'm going to go do these daft push-by rides.

Well, I'm not a presenter because I can't talk to a camera.

They've tried to get me to talk to a camera through mirrors because I can't talk to this.

I talk to someone.

I talk to the director, but they arrange the camera lens in such a way that it looks like I'm talking to the camera.

I can't do it.

I just can't do it because there's nothing there.

I'm not a presenter.

I can't do it.

And they said, oh, that doesn't really work.
