Paul Jordan: Bike vs Bird (Part Two)

Season 3, Ep. 20

TT one-to-watch Paul Jordan returns to the podcast for part two of his chat with Chris Pritchard and Steve Plater this week.


After patiently waiting to bring it up in part one, Chris finally asks Paul about his now infamous incident with a pigeon during TT 2022. The rider talks about why having a face full of blood, feathers and guts didn’t stop him from getting back on the bike to compete in the race immediately after.


The Northern Irishman gets into his third place finish in this year’s Supertwin race including a battle with Pierre Yves Bian for the spot and why celebrating fans meant he couldn’t actually see the mid-course pit board confirming his success on the last lap.


Paul also discusses the effect of having a TT podium under your belt and the congratulations he continues to received months after the event as well as looking to the future and his hope to stick with his supportive team.
