Is this the same James Whitham that was riding the BSB bikes round at about 30 mph for his Eurosport feature last year? Haha,Don't worry James,time waits for no man-it just makes us love you even more! Hope James and Jack continue to grace the BSB series forever more,they really are the best commentary team ever.
