#MotoGP #RacingBack #MotoGPPodcast #TheNearlyMen #DrMartinRaines

Welcome to Episode 37 of Racing Back, Nick and Jules are joined by the MotoGP oracle himself, Dr Martin Raines, to dive into one of the sport’s most fascinating debates — the riders who almost had it all.

From title challengers who fell just short, to supremely talented racers whose careers were derailed by injury, timing, machinery, or sheer bad luck, we explore the “Nearly Men” of MotoGP. Were they victims of circumstance? Overshadowed by generational greats? Or simply a twist of fate away from greatness?

We break down the careers, the what-ifs, and the lingering questions surrounding some of the sport’s most talented names who never quite received the accolades they may have deserved.

Do you agree with our picks? Have we missed anyone?
Let us know your contenders for MotoGP’s ultimate “Nearly Men” in the comments below!

Nick and Jules begin by sharing your latest comments, questions, and opinions—keep them coming! They then dive into the drama of the Bol d’Or, where BMW came agonizingly close but just missed out.

Later, the conversation shifts to MotoGP, as the duo explore what progress in the sport really means—what the future may bring, and what we all hope it doesn’t lose along the way.

This week on Racing Back, Nick and Jules are joined by none other than the legendary Niall Mackenzie. Together, the trio dive into all the action and storylines from Misano, look ahead to the prestigious Bol D’or endurance, and preview the thrills of BSB at Assen.

They also take a deep dive into one of the sport’s hot topics: the lack of British riders in MotoGP. What are the causes and consequences? Are current infrastructure limitations – including the Moto3 age limits – part of the problem? And with many riders comfortable in BSB or WSB, is the drive to move into MotoGP being blunted? It’s a fascinating insight into the state of British representation at the very top.

A lively, insightful episode with expert analysis, anecdotes, and plenty of passion for the sport – gremlins in the internet connection included!

Disaster strikes before the microphones even switch on: Nick manages to lock himself out and ends up loitering in the porch like a soggy stray cat, while Jules suffers a full-blown power outage and is left podcasting by candlelight. But nothing—not keys, not rain, not electricity—can stop the Racing Back duo from hitting record.

They set the stage for an unmissable weekend of racing: MotoGP roars into Barcelona with the big question—can Márquez seize control of the title chase? World Superbikes line up at Magny-Cours, and British Superbikes hit Donington in what promises to be a triple-header of adrenaline.

The episode also takes a reflective turn as Nick and Jules explore the illustrious career of Jonathan Rea, following his announcement that he will retire at the end of the 2025 season. It’s a heartfelt deep dive into the legacy of a true legend.

Finally, they tease the long-awaited return of the good Doctor, Martin Raines, who’ll be back next week armed with stats that never fail to blow the baffles.

Another ride worth tuning in for—enjoy!

In this jam-packed episode of Racing Back with Nick Harris and Julian Ryder, Jules takes the reins for a deep dive into the fascinating world of the FIM Endurance Championship. Can he convince Nick—the voice of MotoGP—to embrace the long-haul racing life?

From there, our two-wheeled historians take a hilarious detour into the past, revisiting one of the more unusual pre-race press conferences: Assen 1998. What do Carl Fogarty and dressing gowns have in common? You’ll have to listen to believe it.

The spotlight then turns to the legendary Casey Stoner, as Nick and Jules reflect on the sheer brilliance—and untapped longevity—of one of MotoGP’s most naturally gifted riders.

And to top it all off: breaking news! Nick reveals that Doctor Martin Raines, the beloved stats guru, will be arriving on the show soon. Just in time, too—as MotoGP prepares to celebrate a historic milestone: the 1000th premier class Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring, Austria, in just two weeks' time.

In this milestone 10th episode of Racing Back, Nick and Julian celebrate hitting double figures by diving into all things two-wheeled and fast! The duo kicks off by looking back at the recent MotoGP action from Brno, where Nick confesses his fondness for bars of the drinking kind over the tyre-pressure variety, leaving Julian to delve into the technical details.

As the MotoGP season hits its halfway point, the spotlight turns to Jorge Martin’s continued rise and Aprilia’s increasing presence at the sharp end — but the big question remains: what’s going on at KTM?

From high-speed racing to low-tech reporting, Nick and Julian reminisce about the early days of motorsport journalism. From the desperate hunt for a telephone line, to the wonder of fax machines, and photographers developing photos over a cup of tea — it’s a charming blast from the analog past. Nick even recalls the time he got racing legend Kenny Roberts to do cricket commentary for the BBC!

They wrap up with a look ahead to the post-summer break MotoGP round at Austria’s Red Bull Ring, this weekend’s World Superbikes at Hungary’s Balaton Park Circuit, and the British Superbikes showdown at Brands Hatch.

It’s nostalgia, nerdiness, and no shortage of laughs — classic Racing Back.

Nick and Jules are back in the saddle for Episode 9 of Racing Back, diving into a jam-packed MotoGP weekend at Sachsenring, where a record-breaking crowd of 256,000 brought the noise and the passion! With two Brits locking out pole position, and Turn 1 proving to be chaos central, there’s no shortage of drama to unpack.

The duo also look ahead to Brno, one of MotoGP's classic circuits, and take their trademark ride through the sport’s rich history with some legendary throwbacks. This week’s time-warp brings shoutouts to John Newbold, Randy Mamola, Valentino Rossi, Eddie Lawson, Tony Hewitt, Steve Webster, and the mighty Mick Doohan.

Fresh off a spectacular weekend in Mugello, Racing Back returns as Nick and Jules unpack the ongoing resurgence of Marc Marquez, who continues to defy expectations and dominate headlines.

With adrenaline still pumping, attention now turns to the Cathedral of Speed—Assen. The Dutch TT is one of the most iconic events in motorcycle racing, and the question on everyone’s mind is: Who will be christened the next legend?

Along the way, the boys ponder a big one: Could Nick and Jules be the ones to bring us the next Netflix racing documentary? Tune in and decide for yourself…

As always, this week’s ride through history name-checks icons like Colin Edwards, Pat Hennen, Kenny Roberts, Freddie Spencer, Mick Doohan, Mike Hailwood, Barry Sheene, and many, many more.

It’s all throttle, no filter—don’t miss Episode 6 of Racing Back!

This week, Nick and Julian rev up for Mugello — a cathedral of speed nestled in the heart of Tuscany, where legends are made and hearts are broken. With Ducati’s temple just over the hill, the burning question: Will Pecco Bagnaia continue his dominant streak, or is Marc Márquez about to steal the crown and shake up the standings?

It’s not just about the present — the past roars back into focus as the duo name-check icons like Barry Sheene, Valentino Rossi, Phil Read (was he criminally underrated in the UK?), Bill Ivy, and the peerless Mike Hailwood. It's a rich tapestry of history, glory, and grit.

Plus, a huge nod to Michael Dunlop, newly honoured with an MBE — a fitting tribute to road racing royalty.

Expect insight, storytelling, and a touch of old-school fire as Racing Back goes full throttle into Mugello weekend.

Buckle up for another fast-paced episode of Racing Back! With the Isle of Man TT wrapped up and rare sunshine breaking through, we dive straight into this week’s hottest headlines in the world of two wheels.

🏁 Toprak Razgatlıoğlu signs for MotoGP – The Turkish sensation makes his long-anticipated leap, and we break down what this means for the grid.

🏆 The Marquez brothers reign in Aragon – Marc and Alex Marquez steal the show, dominating the Aragon circuit and setting the paddock buzzing.

📢 Dorna Sports locks in MotoGP promotion rights – What does this major move mean for the sport’s future?

🎙️ Nick and Julian tackle the American market – The duo delve into MotoGP’s ongoing struggle to build a strong fanbase in the United States and what could be done to turn the tide.

Plus, we pay tribute to legends of the sport with name-checks to Troy Bayliss, Nicky Hayden, Ben Spies, Colin Edwards, and the iconic Carl Fogarty.

Whether you're a hardcore racing fan or just catching up, Episode 4 is full throttle from start to finish. Don’t miss it!

In this no-holds-barred episode, Nick and Julian dive into the chaos and charm of two-wheel racing – weather permitting at the Isle of Man TT, of course! From MotoGP’s best-kept secret – Aragon – to some questionable geography, things get hilariously off-track before going deep on 800cc vs. 990cc machines: were they really trying to slow things down? Spoiler: it didn’t work.

Plus:

• What do commentators really look for at a new circuit? (Hint: toilets. Especially VIP ones.)
• The mystery of Julian’s missing lunch packs 🍱
• Explosive team feuds, Nürburgring tales, and a “fuel-injected” Honda that… wasn’t
• And more behind-the-scenes gold from the paddock!

Fast bikes, fast laughs, and full-throttle commentary – don’t miss it!

In this episode, Nick and Julian dive into the thrilling, dangerous, and legendary world of TT racing, with a spotlight on the iconic Isle of Man TT. Buckle up as the duo explores the rich history of one of the most extreme motorsport events on the planet — and its modern-day resurgence and growing global coverage.

Nick, in a slightly less-than-sober moment of enthusiasm, confesses to a rash decision involving a TT race, leaving Julian somewhere between exasperated and amused. The pair also vent their frustrations over the awkward clash in scheduling between the British Grand Prix at Silverstone and the Isle of Man TT, questioning what it means for fans and the future of motorsport calendars.

As always, it’s not all fumes and frustration — Nick throws Julian a couple of curveball trivia questions to test his racing knowledge. Will Julian’s encyclopedic brain hold up under pressure?

Expect laughs, nostalgia, a few strong opinions, and a whole lot of love for one of motorsport’s most dangerous and revered events. 🏍️💨

In the debut episode of Racing Back, hosts Nick and Julian fire up the engines and set off on a thrilling journey through the golden age of MotoGP and superbike history. With a rich blend of passion and nostalgia, they dig deep into their encyclopedic memories, bringing legendary names back to life – from the charismatic Barry Sheene and fearless Kenny Roberts to the indomitable Carl Fogarty.

Expect animated recollections and warm tributes, including a nod to the voice of motorsport himself, the unforgettable Murray Walker. Julian opens the vault on his own racing days with tales from 'Superbike Island', unlikely 'privateer' victories, and a curious detour into one of the sport’s most fascinating engineering oddities – the infamous Honda NR500 with its mind-bending oval pistons.

Racing Back isn’t just about the races – it’s about the stories, the grit, the glamour, and the groundbreaking machines that defined a generation. Buckle up for a ride into MotoGP’s most iconic era.

Nick and Jules continue their fantastic chat with one of the most influential figures in Grand Prix motorcycle racing history — Jerry Burgess.

JB is Australian, he was doing the standard European tour in 1980 when friends he was staying with in South London put him forward for a mechanic’s job at Heron Suzuki. He worked for Suzuki for three years, primarily for Randy Mamola before moving to Honda - where he stayed for 21 years.
he started as a mechanic for Ron Haslam before being moved to Freddie Spencer’s team to work for race engineer Erv Kanemoto, from whom Jerry learnt the art of being a crew chief during Freddie’s double championship year 1985.
Honda then moved him to be race engineer for Aussie new recruit Wayne Gardner, winning the title in ’87.
JB was again moved by management to be crew chief for another young Aussie, Mick Doohan in 1989. The first title came in 1994 and was followed by four more consecutively. It was an era of total domination. Doohan retired in 1999 and the arrival of Valentino Rossi at Honda kept JB in the sport. Three world championships with Honda followed by four more after a sensational move to Yamaha. He applied to analytical ability he learnt from Kanemoto and his own experiences. JB is an acute observer of paddock behaviour Above all, he wanted to win as much as his riders and he knew how to make victory possible
All of which makes Burgess the most successful crew chief in MotoGP history.

Packed with humour, honesty, and hard-earned wisdom, Episode 34 is a must-listen for racing fans, engineers, and anyone fascinated by the human side of elite motorsport.

Whether you’re a MotoGP fan, racer, engineer, or motorsport history lover, this is an unmissable conversation with a genuine legend of the sport.
