Finally, you went up to the riders on the line and stuck your microphone in their helmets

and got a pre-race sound bite from 'em. Good , sound journalism and genuine

informative entertainment for the fans.

During the race, you did your best, as you should, to keep the fans informed, with

real - time data acquisition - the best that you could.

You asked the questions - you didn't always get the answers.

You did what a real journalist is supposed to do. You're gonna take heat no matter what

you do, Tonight you did well. Real well. Earned your stripes.
