  • Superb content, and it's wonderful to hear Julian and Nick's voices again.

    My favourite ever quote (either Nick or Julian) apologies for the paraphrase: "As we can see, the sun truly does shine out of Rossi's backside" Rossi was doing a celebratory stand-up wheelie into the sun, and the direction had switched to the tailpiece camera. And the sunlight was shining between his legs directly into the camera.

    Fantastico!
