Freddie Spencer cemented his status as a racing legend at the 1985 Daytona 200 – carving his way through the field to the front of the pack, after an engine problem forced him into the pits early on.

It’s a truly remarkable piece of racing footage, which shows just how good the world champion was at his peak. If you’ve got an hour spare, grab a brew and settle in for ‘Fast’ Freddie’s comeback.

Tony has been riding motorcycles for over 35 years and he's been a motorcycle writer for over 25 of those. He's ridden almost every motorcycle you can think of at most places around the world and he's partial to some racing, too. A Taurus, Tony doesn't believe in horoscopes (but then that's exactly what a Taurus would say!) but he does believe in Mandalorians and their right to earn a living.
