  • The Nearly Men
    Feb 12 2026

    #MotoGP #RacingBack #MotoGPPodcast #TheNearlyMen #DrMartinRaines

    Welcome to Episode 37 of Racing Back, Nick and Jules are joined by the MotoGP oracle himself, Dr Martin Raines, to dive into one of the sport’s most fascinating debates — the riders who almost had it all.

    From title challengers who fell just short, to supremely talented racers whose careers were derailed by injury, timing, machinery, or sheer bad luck, we explore the “Nearly Men” of MotoGP. Were they victims of circumstance? Overshadowed by generational greats? Or simply a twist of fate away from greatness?

    We break down the careers, the what-ifs, and the lingering questions surrounding some of the sport’s most talented names who never quite received the accolades they may have deserved.

    Do you agree with our picks? Have we missed anyone?
    Let us know your contenders for MotoGP’s ultimate “Nearly Men” in the comments below!
