Re-Release: Jeremy Burgess - 46 years on

It’s not that long since we spoke to the great man on the pod! Back in July 1980, he was part of a 500cc Grand Prix-winning team in Belgium with a young Randy Mamola. It was Randy’s first premier-class victory and the first of many for JB. Graziano Rossi was in that same race. Years later, JB would become crew chief for his son, Valentino, who became one of the sport’s all-time greats, a rider synonymous with the number 46. Recorded in 2018, less than an hour from Adelaide (which will call the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix home in 2027), JB looks back over his stellar career, and the convo is a gem. The Australian Motorsport Hall of Famer talks about working with the legendary Mick Doohan and helping to develop the iconic Honda 500cc GP bike. Plus, there are recollections of a flashpoint in the rivalry between Valentino and Casey Stoner, as well as stories of his move with Rossi to Yamaha and the frustrations at Ducati. As MotoGP gears up for its mid-season summer break, enjoy our re-release of the Jeremy Burgess Feature Ep. https://www.australianmotorsporthalloffame.com.au/inductees/jeremy-burgess/ Head to Rusty's Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and give us your feedback, and let us know who you want to hear from on Rusty's Garage.
