Simon, when you started out hosting it was pretty rough. But you have become an absolute treasure. I'm glad that you and your employer stayed the course. I hope we get to hear a bit more from you vs last season. Cheers!

Couldn't agree more! Even when it was rough at first, I still enjoyed Simon more than Dylan. Now that Simon's comfortable, it's great! When he cuts in I perk up because I know it'll be something meaningful and worthwhile!

You can tell Simon rides a motorcycle by the way he explains the operation of a motorcycle and his body movements when he explains it. He was in an era of racing that’ll be missed. Plus, there’s some amazing machining work on that steering head.

Back in the day..simon was gonna qualify on pole, until mick doohan has a last lap superhuman effort to snatch pole. Simon was watching, standing next to the interviewer and responded by saying..”wow, he’s just great !” Simon, you’re a man among men..bravo!

This is so much better than the rubbish on F1 cars. Here we have Simon who was a top class rider, who is passionate about bikes, and who explains things in terms that even a non-rider would understand. And he gives us examples of what is happening as you ride it flat out on the track. I just learned that these bikes are unbelievably technical and far beyond a road bike, but I also learned very specific things. Simon's commentary at each race is also excellent. Please don't add an idiotic Martin Brundle pit walk and just do what you do.
