The full Ducati MotoGP™ Experience with Simon Crafar 

VERY well said!

Simon is what makes Dorna's coverage watchable. An extension of us, yes, but also a better rider than we (I) could ever hope to be. God praise Simon Crafar.

Simon commentates with no bias so I can only see the other teams wanting him to have a ride. Best thing for MotoGP too.

Amen. Totally agree. I was not a fan of his at first. His delivery was slow and his hesitation to talk made me think he had nothing to say, and that he was even self-conscious of short comings, like his slow, staccato delivery, and that it wasn't connecting with fans. While I think its true that he wasnt connecting, and that he was painfully aware of it, and as the other commentators waited for him to get out his ideas, already extending their patience for a sport based in insane speeds, it just made everyhting even more awkward. I think most people in that position, that far disconnected from the expectations, would fold. However, he seemed ever determined to try and connect, organically, with everyone in teh paddock, giving anyone from the lowest paid mechancis to Marc Marquez the same respect, deference, and consideration. WHile he hasn't necessarily imropve much on his slow delivery, his earnestness and the evolution of his questioning and listening has risen to a sort of art that is his adroable siganture. To be sure, Im just asshole enought to not let him get away with his earnestness and politness alone. I woudl totally be boycotting his ass if he didnt advance his craft at all and become someone of signifcant value to the MotoGP experience. Im not the most patient or tolerant guy, and woudl probably be doubly angry if he kept his job merely out of pity, but taht is not the case at all. He stayed focused, remained true to his heart, and constinuosuly worked at getting better at his role despite all the doubters. Strangely, I just realized how much I've came around to him. Just the other day I was listening to one of "The-Race" MotoGP Podcast." I didnt read the preview of teh episode so I didnt see that Simon Crafar was a "Special Guest." AS soon as they mentioned hsi name, I felt a bolt of excitement that I got to hear him get interviewed, and what his insights were, and how he woudl react with zero of the obligations he has in hsi role at MotoGP on teh weekends. And boy, did he deliver. Six months ago, I would have immediately skipped over him. Im glad I grew up

Especially for 40 minutes.

Simon, you are the best MotoGP commentator for years, your comments are made with thoughtfulness and provide well worded detail that I for one love yo hear.

You always need to know the track before you perform.

Completely agree. He's developed into a great technical resource for the riders who follow the sport.
