Originally from Adelaide but beaming in from his base in LA now Miguel talks about how a childhood love of sport, admiration for athletes and early collecting habits that started him on this journey.

The teenage trip to America that opened his eyes to the memorabilia business while hoping to meet and watch the legendary Michael Jordan play.

Being trusted by Muhammad Ali for a decade and the surreal moment with him on Mick Doohan’s boat ‘My Way’ on Sydney Harbour during the 2000 Olympic Games.

Working with ‘Mighty Mick’ and getting some of his first autographs in San Fransisco after a career changing crash.

The importance of authenticating the memorabilia for both the competitor and the fan.

A seriously impressive roll call of racers he has worked with in Formula 1, Supercross, MotoGP and more.

The lucky charm superstition that Valentino Rossi had while signing on Grand Prix week at Phillip Island.

Plus pop ups at the big races and why tangibility in his world is way more powerful than anything AI can create.

The standard SVG and Scott McLaughlin lifted the sport too just as he was hitting his straps in Supercars.

Mentoring and paying it forward by working with the likes of Broc Feeney in his early days and more.

Regularly spending time at Team 18 HQ and hanging out with the crew (even when they’re not racing) for things like padel and cycling.

Some memories of racing at legendary places including Spa, Assen, Zolder and Zandvoort.

Changing tack and coming back to Australia to try his hand at Super 2 and how a key day with Paul Morris at Norwell helped put the wheels in motion.

Plus straight talk (delivered right) can still keep the tight, harmonious team working relationships he’s become renowned for.

It’s not that long since we spoke to the great man on the pod!

Back in July 1980, he was part of a 500cc Grand Prix-winning team in Belgium with a young Randy Mamola. It was Randy’s first premier-class victory and the first of many for JB.

Graziano Rossi was in that same race. Years later, JB would become crew chief for his son, Valentino, who became one of the sport’s all-time greats, a rider synonymous with the number 46.

Recorded in 2018, less than an hour from Adelaide (which will call the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix home in 2027), JB looks back over his stellar career, and the convo is a gem.

The Australian Motorsport Hall of Famer talks about working with the legendary Mick Doohan and helping to develop the iconic Honda 500cc GP bike.

Plus, there are recollections of a flashpoint in the rivalry between Valentino and Casey Stoner, as well as stories of his move with Rossi to Yamaha and the frustrations at Ducati.

As MotoGP gears up for its mid-season summer break, enjoy our re-release of the Jeremy Burgess Feature Ep.

There are so many stories in our sport…not just those that take home the silverware.
Trevor Sheumack has been a bit of a constant for decades in various forms of Motorsport but his story isn’t limited to just Australia.

His likeable nature and co-do approach to things saw him land roles with teams in Europe off the back of engineering his own cars at home. Learning valuable business lessons (outside of Motorsport) in his early 20’s that are still relevant now to being spellbound by rally cars in country NSW as a kid.
Hitchhiking stories in the UK as well as memories of the old Ford factory on Parramatta Road in Sydney. And putting it on the line for a karting spectacular at the Entertainment Centre.
