    Brilliant laugh as always with JW! hehhee I do remember Jack Burnicle once I think it was at Paris Bercy commentating on the Supercross and a guy came down heavy off a jump and Jack came out with the immortal line "And I do believe he's bashed his testicles off that rather beautiful petrol tank there...He'll no doubt be glad he's already got children" 🤣😆🤣 I miss Jack.

    Hey Dave, just watching your back catalogue, that was brilliant. Whit is ace , I loved him as a rider but perhaps more so as a pundit. His insight is ace and to watch basically last year’s prediction is funny but he more or less politely called it , Birdy.. Glenn and Tommy. Thanks

      As for the pyramid, yeah it's always been that way but now the path to the top is more difficult than when, say, Cal arrived in 2010. The path is set from Moto3 (well, CEV and CIV really) and it's a brutal one as Remy Gardner found out.
