However, 18 months later, the most successful national road racer of all time, was back on a bike, managing his own road racing team … and building their bikes in his garage. Ryan Farquhar - Back On The Road, on BBC One NI on Tuesday 19 January at 10.45pm, follows Farquhar and his KMR Kawasaki team-mate Jeremy McWilliams throughout the 2015 race season in events everywhere from Australia to Armoy. Jeremy said: "Racers aren't the easiest to get along with, they are alpha males and normally alpha males don't mix with other alpha males, but getting to know him he's good craic and I would regard him as one of my best friends now." As well as racing, the documentary also follows Ryan as he and Jeremy enjoy some off-road activities including clay pigeon shooting, golf and trial bike riding.
