three two one and welcome back to chasing the racing welcome back to chasing the racing brought to you by omg racing and jc t truck and trailer rental and this episode of chasing a racing is brought to you by optimum bikes in york optimum offer a huge array of different used bikes uh clothing servicing financing financing, they'll actually buy your bike as well.

So if you're looking at selling your bike, get in touch with Optimum, they're at Bilbara Top

on the A64 in York. My brother actually bought his bike from them, so I know that they're

a fantastic dealership, still privately owned. When you're buying or selling secondhand bikes,

it can be a bit of a minefield. Go and see the guys at Optimum. They will steer you in the right

direction and sort you out. So thanks to Optimum Bikes for back in this episode of chasing the racing.

We're going to do a bit of housekeeping first just to address the elephant in the room. Not our

guest because he's slim and

slender. A lot of questions have been asked about what's going on with Dom, where's Dom, what's

going on? So rather than speculation, we just wanted to just put all you guys in the picture as far as

what we know. uh about two months ago

dom came to us and said that he'd like to take a little bit of a step back from the podcast

obviously with the amount of time and commitment that's needed to be doing these podcasts every

fortnight takes up a lot of time dom's's work, he works away a lot, he's

contracting with forestry on the railways. So it can be a real pain if he's got a contract

and needs to be working away for him to have to get back to try and do a podcast with also his

latest news that he's got the factory ride with Triumph. That's obviously going to be taking up a lot more time.

He asked if he could step back into the role where he's like myself,

Christian and Josh, where we alternate between us just to try and spread the load a little bit.

So over the last few pods, Dom hasn't been available to come and participate.

If anybody who is friends with Dom will know that he's not the easiest man to get

hold of.
