How do you go from racing enduro in Spain to taking on the Dakar Rally for one of the biggest factory teams in the world?

Tosha Schareina is a Spanish rally-raid racer and factory Honda rider competing at the highest level of cross-country rally. In Chapter 420, he sits down with Jase Macalpine to break down his journey from motocross and enduro to Dakar, and his pursuit of the World Rally-Raid Championship.

CHAPTER 419 Ft. Pernilla Solberg
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.

CHAPTER 418 Ft. Petter Solberg
Petter Solberg sits down with Jase for Chapter 418 to tell the full story of how a broke Norwegian farm kid became the only Norwegian to ever win the World Rally Championship. From racing Beetles in the mud and earning £15,000 a year as a carpenter, to signing with Ford alongside Colin McRae and Carlos Sainz, the crash that changed his career, winning the 2003 WRC title, and raising his son Oliver as the next generation. They cover the golden era of WRC, the wild party scene of 2000s rally, Petter’s rallycross years battling Sébastien Loeb, keeping sponsors happy, his wife Pernilla and how they built an empire together, and Jase getting behind the wheel of Petter’s rally car. Whether you grew up playing Colin McRae Rally on PlayStation or you’re discovering the sport through Oliver Solberg, this is two decades of rally history told by the man who lived it.

CHAPTER 417 Ft. Charley Boorman
Charley Boorman sits down with Jase to tell the real story behind Long Way Round, the trip with Ewan McGregor that changed the motorcycle adventure genre forever. From how the idea came together over dinner in London, to the Dakar Rally training that got him ready, to riding the Road of Bones across Siberia to Magadan, Charley walks through the trip that shaped his life. They get into what four months on the road with Ewan actually taught him, how the Sky One deal came together, the Long Way Down and Long Way Up follow-ups, riding Australia end to end, 53 miles of hard enduro at the Isle of Man with David Knight, and what makes Jett Lawrence and Marc Marquez operate on a different level than the rest of us. Whether you've watched every Long Way series or you're finding Charley for the first time, this is the interview that goes deeper than the shows ever could.

CHAPTER 415 Ft. Dan Bewley
Chapter 415 of the Gypsy Tales Podcast features British speedway rider Dan Bewley sitting down with Jase to explain what it actually feels like to race a bike with no brakes, four laps at a time, at 70 mph, inches away from three other riders. Dan breaks down the crash that shattered his femur, his dream of becoming a professional motocross racer before switching to speedway, and what it took to build a career in a sport most Americans have never seen. They also get into the new Kawasaki two-stroke concept everyone's talking about, life racing in Poland where speedway is massive, Russian riders being banned from top-level competition, Ken Roczen finally becoming a Supercross champion, and whether Haiden Deegan really has what it takes to beat Jett Lawrence.

CHAPTER 414 Ft. Greg Minnaar
Greg Minnaar is one of the greatest downhill mountain bikers of all time. From winning his first UCI World Cup at 19 to becoming World Champion just weeks before his 40th birthday, he spent more than two decades at the top of the sport. In this episode, Greg looks back on the defining moments of his career, from growing up racing motocross in South Africa to helping build Honda's iconic downhill MTB program. We dive into the Sam Hill era, how Aaron Gwin changed downhill racing, the development of Honda's legendary bike, and what it really took to stay at the top for over 20 years. Greg also opens up about nearly quitting at 20, living with ADHD as a professional athlete, the sacrifices required to keep winning, and the pressure of racing in front of a home crowd. If you're a fan of downhill mountain biking, motocross, or high-performance athletes, this is an inside look at the mindset, rivalries, and legacy of one of the sport's true GOATs.

CHAPTER 413 Ft. Luke Tarrant
Luke Tarrant left a great job in finance and walked away from the corporate world, knowing he didn't want to spend his life stuck in an office. He sold everything he owned and spent years riding his motorcycle across the world, chasing the kind of adventure few people ever experience. On a ride through Colombia, everything came to a screeching halt when he was involved in a motorcycle accident that left him fighting for his life. After weeks in a Colombian hospital, Luke ultimately had his leg amputated. Since then, he's grown a massive global social media following by sharing his journey, inspiring millions with his adventures, resilience, and outlook on life. In Chapter 413, Jase and Luke dive into the motorcycle crash that changed everything, the incredible strangers who came together to help save his life, crossing the Darien Gap by boat, ending up at a cartel party in Mexico, learning to walk and ride again with a prosthetic leg, and why he refuses to move on until he returns to Colombia to finish the ride.

CHAPTER 412 Ft. Randy Mamola
Randy Mamola won 13 Grand Prix races and finished runner-up in the 500cc World Championship four times. He joins Jase to look back on racing Eddie Lawson as a kid, Kenny Roberts changing the sport, the Honda NSR500, Mick Doohan's career, and the story behind the Ferrari Cagiva insisted he take despite never winning a race for them, the one he tried to turn down. They also break down whether MotoGP has reached its ceiling before the 850cc era, which manufacturer is best positioned for the future, who would really be fastest on equal machinery without electronics, Randy's 20 years on the two-seat Grand Prix bike, and the work behind Riders for Health, the charity he co-founded.

CHAPTER 411 Ft. Billy Bolt
Billy Bolt is one of the most recognisable personalities in motorsport, and not just because he's one of the fastest, most technically gifted off-road riders on the planet. The 6-time SuperEnduro World Champion and 2021 Hard Enduro World Champion has built a fanbase that's just as loyal to his personality as his results, and in this episode he brings all of it. Jase and Billy get into why he thinks motocross riders are scared to show their personalities, why hard enduro still isn't as big as supercross (and what enduro has that moto doesn't), the hand injury that turned into a nightmare, becoming a father, the insanity of Erzberg and the Isle of Man TT, modern traction control on dirt bikes, why he started vlogging, and his unfiltered takes on the biggest names in moto, including why Haiden Deegan just doesn't care and his Chase Sexton conspiracy theory.

CHAPTER 409 Ft. Sara Aydin
Sara Aydin taught herself to ride, ignored the people who said women didn't belong on motorcycles, and became one of the most-watched female stunt riders in the world.

In this episode, Sara opens up about her family's immigrant roots, choosing motorcycles over the traditional path her parents envisioned, teaching herself to wheelie, signing with Monster Energy, filming "SAOKO," surviving serious injuries, the craziest police chases she's experienced, and why she's determined to inspire the next generation of female riders.

CHAPTER 410 Ft. Nic Hamilton
Nicolas Hamilton was once pushed through the Formula 1 paddock in a wheelchair by his older brother, Lewis Hamilton. Years later, he stood on the podium in the British Touring Car Championship, one of the toughest racing series in the world. Born with cerebral palsy, Nic had to fight for every step, every opportunity, and every chance to prove he belonged in motorsport. Once the visor came down, he wasn't seen for his disability, he was judged as a racing driver. In Chapter 410 of the Gypsy Tales Podcast, Nic opens up about growing up with cerebral palsy, the Hamilton family's parenting, his relationship with Lewis, dating and self worth, overcoming a gambling addiction, the financial reality of racing, earning his first BTCC podium, and what's next in 2026. This is one of the most honest and inspiring conversations we've ever had.

Four years ago, the idea of an electric dirt bike changing motocross sounded impossible. Today, the Stark VARG is competing against the best riders and manufacturers in the world, and Stark Future founder Anton Wass returns to Gypsy Tales to explain how it happened. From the latest VARG developments and battery technology to hard enduro dominance, AMA Supercross ambitions, and why he believes combustion bikes could become purely nostalgic within the next decade, Anton shares the vision driving one of the most disruptive companies in motorsports. Beyond motorcycles, Anton and Jase dive into artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, the future of work, universal basic income, and what it takes to lead a company that's challenging an entire industry.

CHAPTER 406 Ft. Jorge Martin
MotoGP World Champion Jorge Martin sits down with Gypsy Tales for Chapter 406 and one of the most raw and wide ranging conversations of the Euro Trip. From a crash that nearly took his life to the pressure of fighting for a MotoGP World Championship, Jorge opens up like never before. Jorge relives the terrifying Qatar crash that left him with a punctured lung and multiple injuries, revealing how the experience changed his perspective on life forever. He opens up about the championship battle with Pecco Bagnaia, their friendship that dates back to Moto3, and the mind games that unfolded during one of the closest title fights in MotoGP history. The conversation also dives deep into the technical side of the sport. Jorge explains just how extreme modern MotoGP bikes have become, why riders rarely use their machines at full potential, and what surprised him most about moving from Ducati to Aprilia. He also shares his passion for American supercross and motocross, the riders he grew up watching, and why he remains one of the biggest fans of the sport. 0:00 Intro: who is Jorge Martín 3:48 Checking himself out of hospital to be here 4:49 Kenny Roczen & finding the podcast 6:42 Your first world title & the weight of pressure 8:47 Hunter vs Kenny: you cant beat the universe 10:06 Why he loves Supercross & Motocross 14:50 His hero: James Stewart 16:12 AG1 Ad 17:13 Motocross as MotoGP training & riding with Jack Miller 23:50 Why a MotoGP bike destroys your body 28:42 360 km/h & setting up the fastest bikes ever 33:00 Switching from Ducati to Aprilia 37:22 The jump to MotoGP & trusting your crew 40:06 Self-doubt, process over results & dealing with hate 47:07 Keeping a small circle 49:51 Growing up by the track, meeting Rossi & the hunger to win 56:46 Almost quitting & the family sacrifice 1:03:44 Sota Fuel Ad 1:04:23 Moto3 to MotoGP: moving to Andorra at 17 1:07:50 The mental switch & riding for joy again 1:13:56 Ducati, Bastianini & Marquez taking the seat 1:20:56 Battling Pecco & winning a title on a private team 1:25:28 Talent vs results & the Pramac story 1:28:46 Signing with Aprilia & the brutal start 1:32:31 Qatar: the crash that nearly killed him 1:34:40 I called Maria to say goodbye 1:36:11 How nearly dying changed his outlook 1:38:53 Recovery & the noise about leaving Aprilia 1:42:31 Maturing fast & keeping the kid alive 1:46:27 Why MotoGP riders cant train every day 1:48:43 Getting back to racing in 2025 1:50:49 Five surgeries, 25 broken bones 1:53:23 Brunt Workwear Ad 1:55:01 Into 2026: back in the title hunt 1:57:31 Emotional podiums & the people who carried him 2:00:36 The craziest, most competitive MotoGP season 2:05:02 2027 rules: the year of the Japanese 2:08:09 Whats wrong with the show & if Jorge wrote the rules 2:12:15 The aero, and Ducati vs Aprilia 2:17:20 How much better can the Aprilia get? 2:20:21 His best wins: Le Mans & Misano 2:22:08 Racing on fentanyl: the hospital story 2:25:33 Liberty Media buys MotoGP 2:28:08 Outdoor motocross 2026 predictions Subscribe for more conversations with the biggest names in MotoGP, motocross, supercross, and action sports. 💧 Order SOTA Fuel “Gypsy Juice” https://sotafuel.com/products/sota-fuel-hydration-30-pack?variant=42103959945258 🥾 Get $10 Off @BRUNT with code GYPSYGANG at https://bruntworkwear.com/GYPSYGANG! #bruntpod Drink AG1 http://www.drinkag1.com/gypsytales 🛒 Shop Gypsy Tales merch: https://gypsytales.com 🎙 SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: / @gypsytalespodcast 🎬 Watch more clips: / @gypsytales 📸 FOLLOW GYPSY TALES ON INSTAGRAM: @gypsytalespodcast Listen on Spotify/Apple → https://pod.link/1335551721 💼 Business inquiries: ethan@gypsy-tales.com #JorgeMartin #MotoGP #GypsyTales #Podcast See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

CHAPTER 402 Ft. Olly Stone
Olly Stone grew up in Europe obsessing over motocross mechanics — not riding, wrenching. He taught himself on two-strokes, polished his spokes at 3am watching GPs from Japan and Australia, and eventually earned his way to America. Pro Circuit. Justin Barcia. Austin Faulkner. Then team principal of the Troy Lee Designs GasGas program — until KTM pulled the budget overnight and ten years of work disappeared with a phone call. Now he's back. New team. New facility. And it's moving faster than even he expected. In Chapter 402, Olly breaks down what it actually takes to survive as a European mechanic in American moto, what made Mitch Payton's Pro Circuit the standard for everyone else, the brutal reality of how factory programs end, and the new program he's building from scratch — including a shop in Corona and a riding facility in Florida that's already turning heads.
