  • Double Figures, Double Trouble!
    Jul 24 2025

    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.

  • Sachsenring Surge & Brno Bound
    Jul 17 2025

    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.

    There’s also a Superbike pit stop at Donington, plus a quick look toward Hungary. And of course, no episode would be complete without the encyclopedic insights of the one and only Dr. Martin Raines, MotoGP’s living database.

    Grab your helmet and plug in – it’s time to race back! 🏁
