In the final podcast of 2024, the PPP crew ponder their top five riders of the 2024 season, and name their favourite riders which they saw with their own eyes. Can Adam, Steve, David, and Neil come to some kind of accommodation? Is David Alonso's record-breaking Moto3 season worthy of a spot ahead of Marc Marquez' remarkable comeback and switch to Ducati? How does Pedro Acosta stack up? Does Enea Bastianini deserve a spot in the top five? Is the work of Johann Zarco and Fabio Quartararo undervalued because of they bikes they were on?

We also name our Favourite Five, the riders we each most enjoyed watching race. Any discipline, any period, with the one caveat that we had to have been at a racetrack to watch them ride. We'll be back in the new year with lots and lots more content.
