The

The Hello there, wherever you are, and welcome to a MotoGP, motorcycle, race chat, audio chat,

podcast, I suppose, one which doesn't have a name as things stand,

because, well, we've shun the traditional method of making a podcast,

you know, the one where you actually plan out what you're going to do,

make notes, book a guest, give the whole thing a name even.

Unprecedented times called from plan measures or something like that with seriously tough times

for everyone around the world we just wanted to fill our time as well as maybe filling your time

and perhaps even putting a smile on your face in the process or not i'm doing this intro a couple of days

after recording this pod about about to upload it.

You'll notice the audio quality is rubbish. That's because I've done it. I apologize.

Yep, I had to take everything from the call recording rather than my lovely microphone that I'm doing the intro with.

So my sound tech pals will be giggling at my ineptitude, but that's why they are paid the big bucks.

So I hope you enjoy this, and I hope you are well.

And if the technology hasn't let me down,

because he's gone very quiet,

I am joined by the Burnley Bullitt himself,

your mum's favourite, all round, outspoken,

not afraid to tell it like he sees it,

but could easily have his mind changed if someone actually makes a decent point.

World Superbike Champion, motor GP pundit, what I like to call him, the Apex Predator,

known across Italy as Ogson, Neil Hodgson.
