‘The Riders for Health auction at Day of Champions is unique in motorsport and has become the highpoint of the season for thousands of MotoGP fans.

The event has raised hundreds-of-thousands of pounds for Riders’ vital work in Africa.

This would not have been possible without the contribution of Toby and his tireless work in support of Riders for Health, his knowledge of the sport and the remarkable connection he makes with both riders and fans alike.‘

"I have known Toby since our early hill climb days. His commentary then was well polished, informative and interesting.

His most recent role as commentator for MotoGP was an absolute pleasure to watch and listen to, his enthusiasm and understanding of race developments was perfectly expressed to his viewers."

I've spent more time over the last dozen or more years listening to Toby's epic MotoGP commentaries than might be considered healthy, but long may they continue...

“We’ve just done our first commentary together and, for me, it was a real pleasure.”

“The real jewel in Eurosport’s crown is its commentary team of Toby Moody and Julian Ryder, who are knowledgeable and hysterical in equal measure...they could make a lap of the supermarket exciting and if there is a better motorsport commentary team anywhere, I will eat my armchair.”

CATHERINE RILEY

“Many other commentators start good and then drop off, but you remained at the same level for all of the years we’ve been together, always at the top. Thank you so very much”

MURRAY WALKER

“I’ve had the pleasure of being commented on by Toby for most of my professional career. His ability to say it how it is has won him an army of fans and from my point of view Toby’s dedication to his work his knowledge enthusiasm and accuracy has made him someone that you can rely on to deliver an honest commentary to the viewer. This is so important to me as I need my fans to be reliably informed.”

“Toby is one of the true good guys in the MotoGP paddock...my buddies back home loved all the English terms and they always say they want to go out for beers with this guy and get some of his one liners!!!”

JAMES TOSELAND

“Toby's rider recognition, corner identification and recall of places, dates, etc, is bordering on the supernatural.

If you think commentary is about just turning up and talking, I suggest you don't work with Toby. For every hour he spends on the mic, he spends at least two talking to everyone from riders to tyre fitters.

Commentating with Toby was always a pleasure. We worked and travelled together for nine years yet managed to reman friends. I shall miss the 5am hire car drives to Osaka airport (but not a lot).”

ANDY PRIAULX MBE

"As our resident MotoGP expert, Toby is an indispensable part of the autosport.com team. His infectious enthusiasm for motorsport, coupled with a bulging contacts book and the ability to make even the dullest race sound unmissable, makes him one of the most versatile and popular motoring journalists you're ever likely to meet."

ROB AHERNE

“Anybody who comes into Toby Moody’s orbit is guaranteed an entertaining time. The guy has personality and energy to spare.

As half of the famed Eurosport Moto GP reporting team with Julian Ryder, he represents the greatest commentary duo in motorsport history. Funny, outrageous, passionate - and intensely insightful.

When he works on his own, Moody remains authoritative and uniquely able to convey his extraordinary knowledge of all areas of motorsport with his inimitable, boundless and engaging enthusiasm.

Throw in his passion for competing in hill climb events, and you have one of those outstanding characters who really ‘get’ their sport.
