Gypsy Tales

The King of Supercross is back for round two. Jeremy McGrath won 72 supercross main events, 15 more than Eli Tomac and 24 more than Ricky Carmichael, and nobody has got near that standard since. This one is three hours on how it actually ended for him, what he would do differently, and what he sees when he watches the current field.
Jeremy McGrath is a seven time supercross champion with more main event wins than anyone in the history of the sport. In Chapter 422 he sits down with Jase Macalpine to go through the Yamaha offer that cut his salary in half, the KTM that was never ready and made the decision for him, the two fourth places that finally let him stop, and why he is in the gym five mornings a week at 54.
JEREMY EXPLAINS:
◼ The Yamaha offer that halved his salary after he won them three titles
◼ Signing with KTM, a bike that was not ready, and telling Larry he was done tomorrow
◼ The two fourth places behind Carmichael, Stewart and Reed that let him walk away at peace
◼ What he would tell Eli Tomac about the first year out
◼ Why Haiden Deegan should sit behind someone for a whole race and copy him
◼ The same front end crash Chase Sexton keeps having, on every brand
◼ Twenty years of Monster, and the Hansen's sticker on his forks in 98
◼ How he squashed twenty years of beef with Jeff Emig
◼ A hip, a knee, and the ankle he is getting looked at next week

Jase Macalpine sits down with Pernilla Solberg for Chapter 419 of the Gypsy Tales Podcast to tell the story behind one of rally's most influential families. Pernilla never wanted to be the best female driver. She wanted to be the best driver, period. When one competitor told her that if she ever beat him, he'd put his helmet on the shelf, that's exactly what she did.

Pernilla raced against the boys in Sweden throughout the late '90s, met Petter Solberg at Rally GB in 1998, and retired at 28 to raise their son Oliver, now a WRC driver in his own right. Today, she runs the Solberg motorsport operation, serves as President of the FIA World Rally Commission, and holds board seats across five family car companies.

In this chapter, Pernilla gets into what it takes to run a rally team, why a Rally1 car can now cost $1.5 million with few buyers lining up, how modern PR is stripping motorsport of its biggest personalities, and why a new WRC owner could be days away from being announced. Plus, the sim racer who beat everyone with a Logitech taped to his kitchen table, the Norwegian Prime Minister who wrote Petter a letter about his swearing, and why Pernilla believes YouTube, not TV, has become the biggest engine in motorsport.
