Q: Your most emotional sporting/journalism
moment?
Three of them…when I completed my first Macau GP race in 1995 and
survived. When Russell Benny’s Phase One team won the Y2K Endurance
Championship…and the day I heard about Joey Dunlops accident in Estonia.
Q: Your most embarrassing sporting/journalism moment?
Going into full-speed commentary mode at Le Mans in 1998 on the warm-up
lap…!
Q: The sporting/ journalism achievement you are most proud of?
Surviving my first ever race on the most dangerous track in the world,
Macau…Doing commentary for Eurosport alongside some of the top people in
motorcycle sport and having them tell me that sometimes I know what I’m
talking about!
Q: Your funniest sporting/ journalism memory?
Trying to explain why motorcycle leathers are tailored to fit in a racing
crouch and explaining what the “hump” on the back of the leathers
does, all while meandering around the studio with the cameras following
me. While I was quite serious about trying to explain things to the
viewers at the time, apparently the “gallery” was in stitches, as I
was doing a perfect impression of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”, all
of this in front of a 650 million TV audience for the Japanese Grand Prix.
Q: What were your first steps in your journalism career?
Writing and producing a two-minute motorcycle racing report twice monthly
for British Forces Radio Worldwide.
Q: Who has been the biggest influence in your journalism career?
Fellow presenter Jonathan Green when I worked with him at Star TV in Hong
Kong…the ability to change tack instantly depending on sport and
circumstances and his always unflagging good humour when under immense
pressure
Q: Your funniest story with a sport Star?
I had spent a number of hours arranging an “inpromptu” interview with
Steve Hislop, to be done while walking along the paddock behind the pits
at the Macau Grand Prix. With a full sound and vision crew walking
backwards, fully equipped with boom microphones and “waldo” cameras,
we set off casually strolling in one of the most crowded paddocks on
earth. With all the attendant crew, a large number of other international
journalists and crews thought that something extremely important was
happening and decided to “tag along” behind them. We ended up with a
crowd of 60 or so people all walking backwards. Inevitably, someone at the
back fell over and everybody else tripped over him. The resulting pile-up
wasn’t noticed by either Steve of my self…we were both quite carried
away with what we were talking about, so much so that we walked straight
into the melee! That was the biggest pile-up I’ve ever been a part of.
Q: For the moment, what is the dream you never had the chance to
fulfill?
To ride at Suzuka in Japan and Mugello in Italy, Suzuka for the atmosphere
and Mugello for the perfect track.
Q: Your passions?
Motorcycle riding and racing, bread-and-butter pudding, photography, race
queens and honesty
Q: Your dislikes?
Chili, curry, garlic, paddock thieves
