About this listen

This week, Nick and Julian rev up for Mugello — a cathedral of speed nestled in the heart of Tuscany, where legends are made and hearts are broken. With Ducati’s temple just over the hill, the burning question: Will Pecco Bagnaia continue his dominant streak, or is Marc Márquez about to steal the crown and shake up the standings?

It’s not just about the present — the past roars back into focus as the duo name-check icons like Barry Sheene, Valentino Rossi, Phil Read (was he criminally underrated in the UK?), Bill Ivy, and the peerless Mike Hailwood. It's a rich tapestry of history, glory, and grit.

Plus, a huge nod to Michael Dunlop, newly honoured with an MBE — a fitting tribute to road racing royalty.

Expect insight, storytelling, and a touch of old-school fire as Racing Back goes full throttle into Mugello weekend.
