Three very, very, very tired MotoGP journalists after the final MotoGP race of a 22-round season, standing in front of the reception desk in the media centre at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia. From left to right:
Overweight and underpaid: David Emmett, a balding man with glasses
The sick superstar: Adam Wheeler, the silver fox himself, a slim good-looking man who does not look like he will be turning 50 soon
All about that Bass: Neil Morrison, a tall Irish commentator, with plentiful beard and freshly coiffed.
As unlikely a bunch as you might ever imagine
