I've long wondered who'll replace Steve Rider on the BTCC coverage. It's an incredibly complex broadcast to the lead on. I can only think of two or three presenters who'd be up to – both women, which would be a refreshing change.

What… Steve Rider retiring mid season stop it. That’s rubbish news. A brilliant sporting TV anchor, the best in the business. I’ve enjoyed many years with you my friend. God bless you mate.
