“If you’ve checked out last week’s episode, you’ll know that it was Jeremy Burgess who first described riders as ‘flickering lightbulbs’. Why? Because the moment they start to fail, you just replace them with a new one.
Cruel, yes, but that’s MotoGP for you. You can be one of the twenty fastest riders alive – but all that matters is that you’re always just a little slower than the next guy. You’ve been demoted to dead wood, to borrow another term from Burgesss. Good luck, and goodbye!
So maybe you’re one of those riders who didn’t appear last episode. Maybe you thought this meant you were safe.
Bad luck, buddy: that means Mat and Peter just haven’t gotten to you yet!”
