Nick Harris and Julian Ryder are joined by Freddie Spencer for the final instalment of their three-part conversation.

And this time, we reach the 1985 Double.

Freddie’s achievement of winning both the 250cc and 500cc World Championships in the same season remains one of the most remarkable feats in Grand Prix motorcycle racing. Two classes, two different motorcycles and a challenge that has never been repeated.

In this concluding episode, Nick and Jules turn to that extraordinary season, exploring the demands of competing in two championships and hearing Freddie’s own memories of the achievement that cemented his place in racing history.

It is a fitting conclusion to three episodes of fascinating stories from one of the sport’s greatest riders.

The Double. The man who did it. And the story behind it.

• The final part of our Freddie Spencer special
