This week’s @RacingBackPod is the first of 2 with Andrea Coleman. Her dad was Jack Williams, AMC design chief responsible for the 7R and G50. Her brother was Peter Williams. She was married to Tom Herron. Unsurprisingly, her story is fascinating m.youtube.com/watch?v=NpQWKi…

It’s British GP weekend, so find time for this very entertaining and mildly argumentative trawl though the last 50 years of Grand Prix racing at Silverstone and Donington with Martin Raines, who was at all of them m.youtube.com/watch?v=7L6GNI…

The problem with having lived in wild times is that if you really tell it like it was, you are accused of embellishing or just inventing it, but Stu Shenton, in addition to all he did as a GP tech, also lived the wild times and can tell Japanese, Venezuelan and other stories that will, as we were wont to say back in those days, blow your mind.

Don´t miss this one. This may be the best motorcycle racing Youtube video I have ever seen and with some stories that give me courage to tell some of my own that, if you never lived those days, can sound like fiction. Stu Shenton, Jules and Nick. Great!

“In MotoGP, 11 of the 22 riders are ex-Rookies. In Moto2, 21 of 28 are ex-Rookies. In Moto3, 19 of 26 are ex-Rookies. So, that’s 51 riders out of a total of 76. That’s 67%.” 🎙️ @PCliffordWCM 🎙️ @MotoGPJules 🎙️ @NickHarrisMedia @RacingBackPod #MotoGP youtu.be/fUaI6d8ogOs?is=wdjj…
