The man does a solid job of asking questions, even if they're a little awkward.
Just little things like asking Jett about the attitude to riding in the mud playing a part in the results, and the resulting honest answer from Jett.
People have gripes with all moto media, but Vital do a far better job than most.
Just saw the other press day thread by someone, stuff drops down the list here so fast, sorry for the duplicate thread 👍
Vital is the number outlet in moto these days. Lewis is obviously extremely hungry and works hard.
As an example, the post race interview podcasts gets released way quicker than the ones Matthes does with RacerX. And the quality is also a bit better.
Lewis is badass but give credit where it's due...ML snapped him up. (Probably blackmail involved).
Lewis is a great moto journalist, the US needs someone like him who's an honest tough interviewer but not looking for clickbait or a bro down.
The recent synergy between Vital, Pulp, Racer X, and the sx/mx broadcast is a positive step. This coverage does however seem to skew older and I have to wonder where younger guys (14-22) get their moto coverage besides instagram and tiktok.

Lewis is good. Glad he got away from mx vice while he could. Shoutout to ML for snatching him up and bringing him over here.
Thanks. I want to be a lot better, so still got a way to go... I want to be known for doing good work and thinking outside the box.
With reference to the blackmail, are you on about the time ML got him really drunk and the "lady" who he took home with the large hands and deep voice?
Well he is basically from Brighton! 😉😂
Ok enough of the liable banter, he does stand out head and shoulders above the rest in my opinion, have enjoyed his podcasts for years now, esp Saturdays with Seewer, just hope he will continue to cover the GP 's now his career has taken him further afield?
I've got MXGP plans. Got to stay true to my roots and I owe the people who got me to this point.
Lewis has been a great addition to the American scene! Definitely not afraid to ask good questions to the riders. His obsession with idiots on Twitter can be a little annoying on the podcasts, but then again I don't need to be on Twitter for my job so maybe the idiots eventually get to you. It's definitely refreshing to hear a journalist pushing a little harder with the questions. I also like frankness of some of Lewis's opinions, like the recent bit about Mookie not really being close to a win despite the hype.
