Nick Harris - Part 1

In the lead-up to the Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island we have none other than the The voice of MotoGP. Nick Harris spent decades on the tour working as a commentator, journalist, in PR and amongst it all, he found time to become a best selling author.

You’ll be spellbound by the stories of working with the all-time greats in a career that takes in both a golden era of 500cc racing and almost two decades of the new 4 stroke chapter, now producing some of the most competitive racing we’ve seen. And he opens up on the difficulties of ‘rolling off the throttle’ when he stopped commentating on motorcycle racing’s premier class. 

Rusty really should have done this pod ages ago, in the Island Media Centre after Nick hosted one of his countless Press Conferences in unmistakable Harris style. But, the time is now for you to enjoy tales from almost 50 years working around the sport. From phoning through reports and telexes to the the call he took about Eddie Lawson joining the Honda team that Wayne Gardner never knew about!
