And welcome back in a joyous moment for Australian sport, for Australian motorcycling, the first ever Australian motorcyclist to win a world championship.
We've been there all season watching Wayne Gardner try to do it, and now of course he's done it, and of course our congratulations to him.
Well, Will Hagen and Mick Smith are back with us, as is Nick Hardger.
You need to correct one thing, I'm sorry Liz, but the first Australian to win the world 500 class. We've had three world champions in other classes.
I do beg your pardon.
So you'll have people abusing us.
No doubt they will. I know them well. Nick, you must be pretty touched by all this.
Oh, it's fantastic. And I'm sure that Norm Gardner will be able to stop pacing the streets of Balgani.
One man who doesn't watch your telecast, after about the third race of the season, I think Austria got too much for him, and he tends to walk the streets at night.
And it's just fantastic. What can I say? One as a champion should win a race.
Alright, well let's, if we can be cool for a moment, analyse it all. Mick, we heard Wayne was worried a bit about the tyres and so forth, but nothing eventuated. He just zoomed away.
I think he must have had Top Gun and Bruce Springsteen on again.
Well, actually he was watching Least of Weapon this week. That was the video that he was psyching himself up.
To me it was a replica of his two, I think Sweden and Czechoslovakia broke everybody's spirit. He just went out there and he dominated the race from the word go.
And it was a repetition. He had it in his mind. Like he's a fairly determined young fellow and he gets going and that was it. He was going to show them from the front and obviously that was the tactic.
Build up the gap, take it easy, nurse the bike and then go hard at the end if he had to, but they didn't have any answer for him. He won it as a true world champion, he should win.
Was that how you saw it Will?
Oh yes, yes. As I keep saying he's been doing it in different ways throughout the season. He's had different problems to cope with, different types of challenges.
At times he's had to settle for lesser places. He has scored, I repeat, he has scored in every race this season, very rarely done. Eddie Lawson didn't do it last year when he won the championship.
He still has not crashed in a Grand Prix race in the last three seasons. He's not failed to finish one through crashing.
That is a quite remarkable performance, particularly when you're going as fast as he is. You're winning races while you're doing it.
And he hasn't been off the bike very much this year in qualifying either. So it's been absolutely superb and those that say he had the machine are really diminishing the thing without any fairness at all.
Just while we've got you here Nick, perhaps a little story about how Wayne got there. Is it true that he got into motorcycling because he was rejected for a job or got sacked from a job?
No, not entirely. He was sacked from his job because he was into motorcycling. He used to race all around the country and leave work on Fridays and drive to Queensland or Adelaide or wherever and race.
And he'd get back at drive all night Sunday and get back to work and fall asleep on the job. So he didn't actually get sacked. His apprenticeship wasn't continued on to full-time employment.
Terminated.
But no, he didn't exactly get sacked. But I think for the people who maybe have just tuned into motorcycle racing in the last two years thanks to SBS, they might think Wayne's an overnight sensation but it's been ten long years to win that and it's fantastic.
Well it's been longer for you Will hasn't it for these last few races. You look as though you might be digging something out.
We've got the appropriate thing.
Hot off the presses eh?
Hot off the presses. We just had somebody run them off a couple of minutes ago.
Oh don't say that. We want to go home and go to bed.
But there it is. And I was absolutely sworn by the Rothmans Honda people in Spain when I heard they had them. They had them there ready. And I said I have to have one for Australia. We've got to have it for this moment whenever it occurs and hoping it does.
And they said you must not show it to anybody, do anything with it. Lest you curse him you know by so doing. And that indeed has been the case. So it's a unique one.
Fantastic. It is a unique one. It's not as Will said a win at Wayne sticker just yet. We'll see what we can do but please don't call us just yet.
Peter Goodwin's on the line gentlemen so perhaps a couple of words with him. Will you might want to kick that off.
Oh Peter Clifford. Hello Peter. How are you? Pretty dominant race?
Yeah a great race. I've just spoken to Wayne and he said that he had no real problems. Of course he really enjoyed the ride. That he tried to open up a 10 second gap but he was pushing it very hard and when he got to 6 seconds he thought he'd better settle for that.
And so he sort of hung on to it.
Wayne Gardner winning the Brazilian Grand Prix and the World Championship. And with that we bid you good morning.
You treat them well and they treat you well. They come up with the goods. Hey Dad, have you heard what they say to me? Well what do you say?
Brookside continues Monday at 6 Adelaide 5.30 on SBS.
Thursday night Sir Kenneth Clarke continues his exploration of western civilisation. In this episode the birth of romance and the gothic age. The age of crusades, chivalry and courtly love.
But this state of utter subjection to the will of some almost unapproachable woman. This would have seemed to the Romans or to the Vikings not only absurd but unbelievable. And yet for hundreds of years it passed unquestioned.
Love, gothic Europe and the rebirth of civilisation. 7.30 Thursday, 7 o'clock Adelaide, SBS.
Australia suns, let us rejoice, oh we are young and free.
With golden soil and wealth but our home is girt by sea. Our land abounds in nature's peace, of beauty rich and rare.
In this respect let every stage advance Australia fair. In joyful strains and let us sing, advance Australia fair.
Thank you.
