Startline Ep 29 - It takes a team: MBR Motorsport's Mike Bibby and Rodger Wibberley
Start Line with Beth Espey
Thursday, 19 February 2026 - 45 minutes
In this episode, Beth catches up with Mike Bibby, team owner of MBR Motorsports and one his riders Roger Wibberley.
They take us inside the world of road racing - from the early days of turning up with a van and a few mates, to the high-pressure, highly coordinated team effort the sport demands today.
Mike, a former racer himself, knows more than anyone that it takes a team to get to any start line.
Mike and Rodger talk honestly about the emotional rollercoaster of racing, the growing importance of sponsorship and social media, and why preparation isn’t just helpful - it’s everything.
You can find MBR Motorsports on Facebook here and Rodger's page is here.
