Should MotoGP be relegated to the History channel if it no longer has a viable future?

To me, the GP should focus on the best riders. That’s right, I said best riders. Rider excellence is what makes MotoGP a compelling view. All the riders should be on the same bike. I don't care if they use street bikes or WSB spec. The sport is getting lost in process regarding manufactures and tire companies. I want to see the best riders. Hint so do the advertisers and real sport fans. Until the sport understands the above it will always be a afterthought sport news reporting (aka free advertising support).

He knows exactly what riders & the sport needs or doesn't need. He's actually true anomaly.

Simon, it's typical sicuak nedua. Don't let any negative comments effect yyou mentally. You were selected by peoplee who knows their jobs, and not not by amateurs that that doesnt know what they are talking about. Good luck and I wish you all the best in you new venture

To me and I'm sure many millions, you pair were motorcycle racing's commentary royalty, late 1980's all the way through the 90's was the golden age of the sport for me . Keith, you could make half a dozen O.A.P's riding round an oval on mopeds sound like it was the final lap of a of a WSB race! and with Julian's input of Tech, and statistics it was just a magical combination. Sadly I'm afraid I find it all a bit boring these days.

Iannone? Yesterdays news. Who cares?

No updates on KTM and the GP? SMH, OMG so weak.

Beautiful interview ... well done Keith. I think actually that motorcycle racing was Murrays favourite

My tuppence worth as an ex rider.. we need to avoid going down the boring F1 path, of letting it become an Engineering exercise 😮 more actual Racing and much Less analysis and talking, only 3 races in a day is a joke. Much less penalties, to warch a race then have the results changed because a guy was 15cm over a line 😢 Lets have jumps etc, like the IiOM. Get rid of aero and rider 'aids' if you cant ride, do something else 😮 I now watch a race were they do about 35 mph & far more interesting 😳 My subs will not be renewed 😮

gosh what are we going to do 2025 with out Simon???? anyone know who is taking is place?

Will miss Simon ...excellent communicator, infectious enthusiasm with real "been there done that "authority.

Murrury walker saying oh oh was in senna I forget. The senna doco on Netflix seemed removed Murray's come try on that horrendous f1 race in Italy first last time watched live f1 race I tryed watch f1 in modern eara it's just too dull and boring

I loved the nostalgic camping in pits European lifestyle very gyspy like oh Kim newcome wife book amazing. Not really mick dohan fan I stopped watching after Wayne rainy accident.

I love these old guys not littetly 😊

I don't understand why am so interested in racing but I am

I never raced I don't have skills or desire to do so. But am obsessed with. Motorcycles. Love cars. Push bikes. Read read books from young age 12 read about sir Malcolm and exploits land speed Jeff duke John suftees I liked him. Liked duke never meet them like Barry shenne. Loved Freddie Spencer my hero Wayne grader . Am a kiwi. And have no idea why. My dad rode bikes. My 14yr son loves cars he can't stand electric cars. My latest thoughts get quad bike even. Though don't like them or a sidecar. Lol watch this and mentions sidecar I thought of John sutrees with wining with honda f1 but don't think honda won in f1 title only as engine suppler. Not a chassis. Maker.

Murry walker legend when legends existed.

Nice to have gems like this in the vault to roll out.

That was excellent! Murray Walker is a legend. Priceless knowledge and insight of amazing characters. Very apt timing mentioning knighthoods. Typical British establishment not honouring the great ones, and rewarding incompetent (London Mayor). Some things never change and are as relevant today as they were 50/60 years ago. Thank-you very much 👍

What a legend Murray was. Great interview Kieth I am glad he also mentioned Mike Hailwood as being an all time great I watched him race what a world talent.

Awh a bonus Christmas show🌱🇬🇧💚 cheers guys, have a Merry one 🎄

Faaaaaantastic! 😊

Murray Walker and James Hunt were the best win double of motorsport commentary. As a teenager back in the late 70s who was just getting into F1, Murray's enthusiasm and schoolboy excitement got me hooked pretty quick. Hunt complemented him perfectly although I've heard stories since that they bashed heads on a number of occasions. Both very sorely missed these days.

I am so glad I grew up with Murray commentary, he had such a flow and vast knowledge of language. So humble and such a gentleman

Murray was sharp as a tack to the day he died. What an incredible man!

nice one

Great vid, as usual. What a legend, to be that sharp in his nineties is amazing. You should get Fred Clark on, another legend of the sport but only for those who went to the races. Bet he's got some stories to tell. Keep up the good work guys. Happy Christmas

Yes that cool Peace out

What a wonderful man, makes me smile just watching and listening to his soothing voice.👍

Who is that hairy man interviewing Murray???

You can STILL hear him commentate if you pick up a Stanley Schofield ‘Isle of Man TT ‘ 33rpm record. Never met him but the ideal voice for commentating.

Legend

I noticed I never saw Marc and pecco on track at the same time 🤔

Simon IS a legend ... no doubt. I hope he can still get a little time on the telly at some stage.

Remember Randy flipping his Cagiva on the warm up lap at Assen! He got it back to the Grid but the bike was a bit banged up! Mechanics doing there best to get it race worthy, Eddie, Wayne and all of the top other riders seen this and did there up most to pre long the start of the race so Randy had a chance, thats what you call racing mates. Those days were and still are the best for me. I take my kids to Assen every year, but I always rant on about the good old days, long live 2 strokes 😊

love how the shadow changes on Keiths face durning this pod

Wow!! I think by the never ending smile on Keith's face said it all. He got to interview one of the best human beings that ever walked the earth! You just can't say enough good things about Randy. His family and friends must be so proud just to know the man. Best podcast ever!!

I had no idea Simon was leaving the pit commentary. I’ll miss that very much I always enjoyed his updates and tech reviews

end of the season, and he did get 3 wins, awesome

Simon Patterson is a ⚓️anker with a capital W..🤡

What a great year I loved watching motogp

Oh James, you're gonna upset the rossi fan boys😊

Will really miss your commentary's Simon

Im quite drunk lol. Can't remember the charity for dogs the MotoGP bloke whose name i can't remember even though I listened to the podcast where he is doing a major job that I can't remember the title of. I really shouldn't comment drunk

Mine is KTM, are they finished?

Also miss Amy on the weekend !

I’m selfish and wish he stayed where he was ! ! No one is going to be as good as he was ! !

Ducati

Simon will be missed on the commentary team...I love listening to his insight on all the bikes and riders... All the best Simon in your new venture... I will miss you your shoes will be hard to fill...
