Why do some athletes push 200-horsepower motorcycles to 300km/h when the financial reward is absolutely zero? Professional Australian Superbike rider Tyra Lynch strips back the glamorous illusion of elite motorsport to reveal the reality of funding a domestic racing career.

Lynch discusses the immense financial toll on his family, working a day job to pay the everyday bills, surviving the impact of hitting a concrete wall at 140km/h and why he thinks the Adelaide MotoGP will fail.
