Jack is really an off road buff. He commented on MX etc way back in the 80's when I was busy throwing an mx bike into the bushes and wrote for Dirt Bike rider magazine etc. He can tell you more info than you can shake a stick at about mx etc and would often turn up at local meets in Sussex/surrey that I raced at just for the hell of it. But beyond commentating duties I don't think he follows road racing religiously like he does off road and I doubt he would claim to be any kind of expert on it. He is gaff prone (remember him calling the ginger bloke from mcn a twat when he thought the mike was off) but he ok to listen to and 200% better than Parrish and that blonde Aus idiot who was also doing Motogp at the time (can't remember his name). " overtook like a lizard drinkin " WTF !. He needed taking out the back and given a good kick in the nuts.
No contest, Charlie Cox 'crosses the stripe' a country mile ahead of Burnicle in the knobhead stakes.
Jacks getting old but I've enjoyed him and Whit for many years. Used to make me laugh whenever Corser's wife was on screen and they would say 'she likes a drink'. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Most of the TV channels don't seem to realise: Being interested in the sport doesn't necessarily make you a good commentator. Being knowledgeable about the sport doesn't necessarily make you a good commentator. Having been a successful competitor doesn't necessarily make you a good commentator. And (one for the BBC) being an upper-middle-class lesbian doesn't make you a good commentator. This applies to all sports, and is not restricted to motorsport...
Your just pissed that Claire Balding never mentioned Australia during the olympics, thats not her or the BBC's fault, you should have sent a team with a chance if winning a few medals.
