"As long as Lucy and Willow are happy then I'm happy" what a truly awesome thing to say.

[HelloJamesBond]

Cal Crutchlow - what a DUDE! Great chat, cheers Keith & Cal.

[grandmasterplank]

Love Cal. He's missed in GP's big time. The last old school rider who'll tell it like it is. Could be years until we get another Brit in the top the best to Cal. Keep keeping it rubber side down.

[Coltwins]

Cal was so underated as a rider, always 100% never give up attitude.. Hopefully Yamaha will listen to his input and the M1 will be back near the top once again.. Hope to see him on the grid for Silverstone...

[arroncooper]

What a brilliant interview. He is so relatable, love his honesty

[Terraceview]

Cal is a legend thanks so much for this!

[dougrussell]

[grahambrown]

Much respect for Cal and he always gave 100% as a rider

[Rekzkat]

Happy to have witnessed Cals brilliant WSBK double at Silverstone and his MotoGP wins on live tv.

He’s been THE hero of our household. We’d keep our Cal’s tee-shirts on and and don them anytime Cal would race, me and the Mrs would watch with baited breath wearing our shirts from America whatever the live programming gave us the pleasure of watching Cal.
Total hero 🏆😉

Another great interview from OMG and really nice to listen to what Cal has to say. Been a fan of yours Keith for years, even remember your Nascar days when Sky first started broadcasting. Your commentaries with Julian were always something to look forward and made the racing even better (When you doing a interview with Julian?). I know things move on and people come and go but you left quite a hole when you left commentating it just isn't the same. The guy now talks WAY to much, never shuts up. I will never forget one race where you and Julian were commentating years ago and you said " When you were racing and came down the start/finish line you looked at your pit board and it had your P45 on it" Never laughed so much fantastic keep up the excellent work at OMG the whole team is fantastic.

[davidtomkins]

He’s a lot more diplomatic than he used to be😂

[andrewmorgan]

Big fan of Mr Crutchlow’s work, a pleasure to hear him still so enthused about racing and passionate about the British scene. Great podcast keep it up OMG!

Keith. Thank You for letting him just talk. Brilliant!

Cracking interview. In my opinion what Britain needs to be doing to get talent to shine for the world stage is: 1. Remake a one bike series (stock chassis + motor) with a complete level playing field (like Mac did it with the Virgin R6 cup which Cal attended) 2. to make it completely affordable and even funded by Palmer motorsports / uk racetracks or a major brand sponsor for tv time, 3. Use slicks/wets and one brand of suspension (cost or provided by a major tyre manufacturer) will prepare the rider much better for the world stage 4. Fill the grid without age limitation and allow current successful big name riders to race in the series (you learn a hell of a lot quicker following experience). 5. Start a moto2 prototype class in BSB for them to graduate to (like the ALL Japan Series used to with 125/250/500's). Just my thoughts... raced myself before Cal's time and even then affording was a big issue. Parents re-mortgaging their house was a norm and it isn't a good way to make talent available. Many good riders I knew stopped as the next step up was just unaffordable and everything else championship wise was out of the lime light for publicity. The talent was never shown.

[TheFastrider]

Thank you for this interview! What a great guy Cal is!! I miss riders like him, but then again, there's nobody like Cal! 🤟🏼

[ClaudioSpinetti-twoc]

Grande Carl grande talento molto obiettivo, uno dei pochi a vincere nel epoca dei grandi campioni di MotoGP, big Carl big talent

Really great interview, loved Cal as a rider, respect him now even more.
