Ricky is by far the weakest link of the commentating team. There's no reason the color commentator needs to be a multi time champion. That just limits the options too much. I would rather have someone that can speak well and is articulate.
Fire Ricky hire Brayton. Broadcast fixed
There's a reason Michael Jordan, another GOAT, doesn't do NBA commentary other than being a billionaire. He knows it's not his thing. RC didn't get the memo 😕
The usual & customary protocol for dealing with a head injury ;
Diagnosis ; Traumatic brain injuries may be emergencies. In the case of more-severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), consequences can worsen rapidly without treatment. Doctors or first responders need to assess the situation quickly.
Glasgow Coma Scale
This 15-point test helps a doctor or other emergency medical personnel assess the initial severity of a brain injury by checking a person's ability to follow directions and move their eyes and limbs. The coherence of speech also provides important clues.
Abilities are scored from three to 15 in the Glasgow Coma Scale. Higher scores mean less severe injuries.
Information about the injury and symptoms
If you saw someone sustain an injury or arrived immediately after an injury, you may be able to provide medical personnel with information that's useful in assessing the injured person's condition.
Answers to the following questions may be beneficial in judging the severity of injury:
How did the injury occur?
Did the person lose consciousness?
How long was the person unconscious?
Did you observe any other changes in alertness, speaking, coordination or other signs of injury?
Where was the head or other parts of the body struck?
Can you provide any information about the force of the injury? For example, what hit the person's head, how far did he or she fall, or was the person thrown from a vehicle?
Was the person's body whipped around or severely jarred?
Imaging tests
Computerized tomography (CT) scan. This test is usually the first performed in an emergency room for a suspected traumatic brain injury. A computed tomography (CT) scan uses a series of X-rays to create a detailed view of the brain. A CT scan can quickly visualize fractures and uncover evidence of bleeding in the brain (hemorrhage), blood clots (hematomas), bruised brain tissue (contusions), and brain tissue swelling.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses powerful radio waves and magnets to create a detailed view of the brain. This test may be used after the person's condition stabilizes, or if symptoms don't improve soon after the injury.
Intracranial pressure monitor
Tissue swelling from a traumatic brain injury can increase pressure inside the skull and cause additional damage to the brain. Doctors may insert a probe through the skull to monitor this pressure.

Jeanie would probably be telling him how to do better lol
Broc Glover......impressed me when he did one...A year or two back....
Are you telling us Rick needs an intracranial pressure monitor ?
If there has to be a woman, it’s Ashley hands down. She is fantastic and is in the sport day in and day out. Knows her shit even if you want to talk parts on the motorcycle.
Big oops for me in my line up though. I would have Blair in there somewhere as well.
Maybe not in colour commentary, but Ralph is the all-time WOAT of play by play.
I've brought up this in multiple other RC commentating - and commentating in general - threads. Don't the broadcasters realise there is an invention called the internet, and on that invention people can quickly look up facts on topics they know nothing about?
I disagree that it's to do with the pace of live commentating. He just has no capacity to add any insight about racing in general - except occasionally about his own experiences. Just check out Title24, the whole show is carried by RV.
Agreed it's like they WANT it to sound like he's announcing lawn mower racing.
Haha That’s funny man. I clicked on differences between the stock market and the economy. Funny stuff but mostly true. I hv an extended family member that does investing for entertainers in LA. He’s actually a really stupid guy. Hey Lucky you didn’t hv Troy Aikman, Lawrence Tailer & other nfl stars invester in the 90,s. He cleaned them out he was sent to prison but there money was all gone. Ps I saw you race in 97 Minneapolis you finished 2nd I think. KW won he was really feeling it , his bike sounded a lot stronger too. 97 125 gp Duke video I watched that a million times. I saw you in front of some big riders. 98 Foxhill up to that time that was the best race ever if you include the fans. It was loud Chiodi up front as usual then Carl Nunn is swamping the lead he’s having the ride of his life. Then you come out of nowhere lead it. That was probably your break out race. A exciting one for sure.
david bailey was great back in the day.....he could put things in simple terms so noobs could understand moto terminology.
Ricky’s a fucking idiot and a puppet. I can’t believe they put someone on the broadcast that has the vocabulary of a troglodyte.
