For me that's what makes this year so cool. The two 'men of the year' for me have been Martin and Pedro Acosta, the two kids that came up from nothing. As someone who grew up on a council estate, this really resonates with me.
This would never happen in car racing.
Steve or the bike? 🤔😂😂
Steve Linsdell used to race one of them
Carl Fogarty. As British as a pebble-dashed Semi, managed to do something very un-British during the 1990s by becoming a winner. Bucking the trend set by Tim Henman and our national football teams.
It got burnt off in various flashovers
Me, the best left-sided midfielder in the league. Mid-90s

Drummo isn't on here yet is he?
I'm still brand new to all this, so I'll see how it goes 🤷🏻♂️
Joining Trump's inner circle is enough of a warning for me
It certainly looks like the old Twitter
Pecco must be feeling robbed. Winning 11 full (proper?) races and coming out sucking his thumb.
Is it nearly over yet? Zzzzzz
