Ep5. That Travel & Lifestyle Episode

From 4 am airport runs and back-to-back time zones to muddy UK practice days and weeklong flyaways in Qatar to Thailand, we’re lifting the lid on what the moto life really looks like between the gate drops. Dean checks in from Australia, Billy’s juggling a late Hard Enduro season with SuperEnduro prep, and Tommy’s in full kids and trials dad mode - plus a pile of laugh/cry travel stories. In this episode: 👉 The grind vs the glam: Early flights, rental-car queues, racing on no sleep, and why Billy now avoids 6 am departures at all costs. 👉 US vs. Europe routine: Why America’s “ride Tue/Thu no matter what” culture can burn riders out—and how GP teams work around a Belgium base with vans and trucks. 👉 Cultures & crowds: Indonesia’s jungle car-park race with fans inside the tape; Brazil’s wild traffic and legendary hospitality; landing on “Mars” in Abu Dhabi. 👉 When travel bites back: Emirates excess-baggage sticker shock, Jetstar/Ryanair weigh-ins, and the case for packing an Apple AirTag in suspension. 👉 Russia & Mexico memories: Brutal logistics, dust-outs that forced schedule changes, and the “over-watered” Sunday special. 👉 Favourite tracks and why: Millville rollers, RedBud on a perfect day, Glen Helen throwbacks, Lommel flow, a private UK sand gem, and the Polish Łódź SuperEnduro stairs. If you’ve ever wondered how pros stay functional (and sometimes don’t) across continents, seasons, and disciplines - AMA Supercross/Motocross, MXGP, Hard Enduro, SuperEnduro - this is a brutally honest look at the travel/lifestyle tax that never shows up on the results sheet. Tell us in the comments: your worst airport/airline story, best fan encounter abroad, or the one travel hack you swear by (gear, nutrition, sleep, AirTags, lounge passes, anything).
