I'm looking to get a repository going of the best Flotrack post-race interviews. I'd really love to see what you all consider the truly insightful, motivational, and educational clips.

I don't mean to knock the thousands of "I gave it my all today...ran my own race...I respect all those guys...my training has been going really well" videos. Those are fine, and I realize those kids get a camera shoved in there face and have to spew something out unrehearsed (to be honest, I'm actually struck by how well most people on there). But I'd really like people to help me sort through those to find the really great ones.

I'm also happy for people to post funny ones - Breaux Greer and Christian Hesch vids - but I also hope this thread yields some gems that aren't special because they're funny. Rather, what I hope for is the truly inspiring.

My favorite is the one with Mottram a few years ago where Buster teaches the Flotrack guy some basic manners. The interviewer walks up to Mottram with no introduction and launches into his questions. Mottram just looks at the guy and says "who the fuck are you?" Mottram then proceeds to make the guy start over again and introduce himself and ask for an interview.

It's fun to see rude media people get put in their place on occasion.

The Breux Greer from the Olympic Trials is the only one that comes to mind. That one was legendary.

Pretty much any Chris Derrick interview. Or Ritz after 2010 XC where he tells Mark that there's a lot of prostitutes in Poland.
