Max Cook enters his fourth season in the British Superbike Championship with momentum, belief, and a point to prove. After topping the first official test of the year aboard the new Bimota package, confidence in the camp is at an all-time high and with the Grand National just won by ‘I Am Maximus,’ you can’t help but wonder… is this Max’s year?
With full factory backing from Bimota and guidance from World Superbike race winner Alex Lowes, the pieces are finally falling into place. The question is no longer if Max can fight at the front but whether he can go full circle and emulate his mentor by lifting the 2026 British Superbike crown.
In this episode, we dive into the mindset, the machinery, and the moment that could define a career. Is everything aligning for a breakout season?

Season Two is officially underway and The Outside Line is back for more. 🔥

We kick off the new season by reviewing Round 1 of the 2026 World Superbike Championship, coming from the iconic Phillip Island Circuit in Australia. From early-season form to standout performances in the wet, we break down what we learned from the opening round of the year. We also dive into the headline making decision to move away from Phillip Island and onto a brand-new Australian street circuit from 2027, and what that could mean for riders, teams and fans.

There's plenty more from the wider paddock too, with the latest news and talking points from MotoGP, British Superbikes & AMA.

And of course, it wouldn't be OSL without a bit of jeopardy. Jack puts Whit to the test in Jack Track Trivia, this time all about Phillip Island, before firing listener questions straight at him in a no-holds barred Presser Q&A Session.

New Season, Same Full-Throttle Energy / Mayhem. Let's Go 🏁
