We are joined on Journey to a Dream today by William Grant, other wise known as “The Sheriff” 🤠,

He is from Scarborough and is undoubtedly O2’s fastest salesman!

William made his 2025 Manx Grand Prix debut with the experienced Cowton Racing team, competing in both the Junior and Supertwin races on Kawasaki machinery. He finished 30th in the Supertwin and 36th in the Junior, lapping at over 106mph - even riding a lap with a missing foot peg!

It’s been a dream year for William: competing on the Island in perfect Manx weather, and securing podiums at both the Cookstown 100 and Armoy. He also finished runner-up in the Oliver’s Mount Lightweight 400cc Championship, and raced a season in British Superbikes.

He’s also a big personality online, with over 1,300 YouTube subscribers, and recently ran 10km in quite the outfit to raise money for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

In this episode, we’re heading to Ampthill in Bedfordshire to meet Eddy Wormald, a rider who made his Mountain Course debut in 2025, and what a debut it was.

Eddy burst onto the scene at the Manx Grand Prix, quickly making his mark as the best overall newcomer of the year. Riding an R6 in the Supersport and Senior races, and an Ian Lougher Racing Paton in the Supertwin and Junior classes, he delivered an incredible set of results and some seriously impressive lap times.

With perfect weather across race week, Eddy completed all four races, and clocked the fastest Sulby speed trap times in both the Supertwin and Junior races, finishing as top newcomer in every class.

It’s been a remarkable rise - and this is just the beginning.

Our guest in this episode is another rising star on the road racing scene - Toby Shann.

A multiple race winner at his home circuit, Oliver’s Mount in Scarborough, Toby has also competed on many of the UK’s short circuits and taken on the legendary North West 200.

He made his Mountain Course debut in 2024 at the Manx Grand Prix, where, despite tough weather conditions, he impressed with a 9th-place finish in the Junior race and 13th in the Senior, lapping at over 114mph and earning the title of second-best newcomer that year.

Fast forward to 2025, and Toby really stepped things up - finishing all four races and taking two podiums, with 2nd places in both the Supertwin and Junior races for Cowton Racing.

He also grabbed strong results in the Supersport and Senior races, clocking an incredible 119.123mph lap.

With that kind of progress, Toby’s journey is only just starting and for 2026, he’ll be among the favourites for MGP success.
