"Attention, ne traversez plus la piste maintenant ???"

"Vive De Gaulle"

"Go
Le depart et le ?
???
??? numero deux Agostini"

"My name is Keith Turner, I'm a professional road racer
I'm 22 years of age, I come from New Zealand
And er, I'm now on the continent doing the continental circus
I choose my life
I can always stop if I want to…"

"???…Giacomo Agostini…???"

"After the first race that was it, I was hooked
It's worse that being on some drug
You've just got to keep going on and on and on
Spending more money
And well I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing
Sometimes I wish I'd never even started"

Time is your life
Time is you wife
Time is your world
Time is your world
Just you and your bike
And you're all alone…
