1996 Australian 500cc Motorcycle Grand Prix

[@123micromidas]

Thanks for sharing mate 😃 Amazing sound in these bikes 😋

[@koyaanisqatsi7907]

Thanks for sharing. And thanks again to your father. I have seen all the races from '92 to '95.

[@TrickyMario7654]

You’re welcome.

[@0sbg0]

Awesome race!

[@Keefy79]

I remember in 93 when Doohan took out Schwantz at Donnington, almost cost Kevin the world title

[@TrickyMario7654]

Obviously, he didn’t take Kevin out on purpose. It was just one of those things that can happen in racing.

[@Keefy79]

@@TrickyMario7654 I agree 100%, the point I was trying to make was that even world champions make mistakes, Criville made a mistake in this race but nobody is immune to errors in judgement 😎

[@TrickyMario7654]

@@Keefy79 Correct. Even the likes of Schwantz and Rainey have made them over the years. Sadly, one of the mistakes the latter rider made ended up leaving him paralysed for the rest of his life.

[@kawi704racing]

That was incredible.

[@TimmyTickle]

Loris Capirossi: doing a Steven Bradbury before Steven Bradbury himself did

[@TrickyMario7654]

Sums up his win perfectly. Still, Capirossi was there to pick up the pieces from Doohan and Creville’s misfortune.

[@antonelloateloanto]

Better to say: Bradbury did a Capirossi. :D

[@StefanMedici]

As Barry taught Biaggi, to finish first, first you have to finish.

[@djkarashi85]

Not quite, more than 4 ppl on the grid.....

[@papyfred7817]

Thanks a lot !

[@fnq-8890]

Criville should still be giving himself uppercuts for that .. moaning about it like it was Mick’s fault, when he should be apologising .. what a ferking goose.

[@IgorFonseca244]

About that last lap I could only have one reaction: HOLY FREAKIN S**T!

[@jeffdarnell7942]

Damn... Doohan came along at the PERFECT time!! Had he been there a decade earlier...he wouldn't have anything!! Course, the mid to late 80's, and very early 90's, was the toughest time EVER in Moto GP... Rainey, Schwantz, Gardner, Lawson, Sarron, McKenzie, Doohan, Chilli, the list goes on... BRUTAL....

[@fearme46]

What do you mean he wouldn’t have anything? Are you serious?

[@pabloperez4063]

Mckenzie? Chilli????

[@rapid13]

Mick was on par with Rainey and Schwantz and probably would have won the 92 title if he hadn't gotten hurt. No way he wins 5 in a row against all those guys, but I doubt that he goes winless either.

[@darrenparkinson4576]

What a totally ridiculous comment. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Are you a pommey,by any chance?

[@truthseeker6649]

in 1992 before his horrible crash that almost got his leg amputated, doohan won 5 series while schwantz & rainey only got 1 each. he also raced against lawson and gardner that year. sarron, mckenzie and chilli was never top riders. he's almost unstoppable with the big bang machine in 1992. if it wasn't for that crash, he could have won 7 titles in a row, while rainey only got 2 and schwantz zero.

[@grahamcox8385]

Abe is very funny, he looks at the handlebars and goes I can't ride that anymore, throws his hands up in the air and decides to have a gatorade in the pits lol, bazza sheene and Darryl eastlake or hilarious and awesome to hear 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@martinbrowne4922]

Criville went for a gap that wasn't there.

[@colinstewart1432]

It was a lunatic lunge of desperation. What a muppet.

[@colinstewart1432]

How Mick didn't beat Criville to death with his own helmet is beyond me. It was such a dickhead move - it had less than no hope of succeeding.

[@TrickyMario7654]

It was never gonna work. I guess Criville didn’t learn from Mick’s own dumb mistake at Donnington Park in 1993, where he wiped out Schwantz and Barros.

[@grahamcox8385]

What the fuck was creville thinking,but caparosi still got a nice win from the accident, to be honest he rode really hard and deserved the podium

[@davidpatterson9107]

🏁🏁65 Capirossi ❤

[@emiliogerez9727]

Grande Crivillé

[@jimhiscott2918]

I couldnt believe even back then what just took place. I would have booted Cravile from the team for that completely idiotic move, and for risking Honda's #1 rider

[@WAPBodie]

Criville destroys Mick´s title celebrations at his home Grand Prix. So cute from team mate.... And why? What was the point? Championship was decided long time ago and Doohan deserve the win on his home GP leading Start to Finnish. To shot him three corner to the end was most stupid what Criville did in his whole career.

[@NormanGnome11]

Typical Spanish tactics .... I wonder if this is where MM got his ideas from ??

[@raulcob4384]

Doohan en Jerez 96 le quito a Criville la victoria llamando a los jefes de Honda.

[@splodgenessabounds150]

[@TrickyMario7654]

Thanks for sharing that.

[@splodgenessabounds150]

My pleasure. Doohan clearly wants to deck Criville for the latter's utterly selfish move, but (just) manages to restrain himself.

[@Jesus_Hill]

It had to do with 50:22. Doohan did that on purpose, it was not he made a mistake at braking: he realised Crivillé was going to overtake him running the outside, so he decided to change his line, leaving no room (illegal) for Crivillé and hitting his bike (he had the advantage in case of contact, as he was coming from the inside). That's why Crivillé was out of his mind, not saying that what he end up doing was right, but there was a reason for it, Doohan's action a few corners before was almost as dirty, don't act as if nothing happened before the strike. And I'm not too impressed about Doohan arguing in english with someone not used to speak it.

[@Jesus_Hill]

@Reg Johnson Take a look at the rest of the laps, he just changed the line, went wide without a braking mistake, so that Crivillé couldn't overtake him. It wasn't either about getting out the corner faster. Yeah, Crivillé could speak both, but that's not the point, he wasn't good at english and it's difficult to argue with someone whose first language is english. Nobody's fault, it's just the argument proved nothing in that condition. Again, not saying that the crash wasn't Crivillé's fault (it was), not even saying he was a better rider than Doohan (he wasn't), but Doohan was no angel that day.

[@TrickyMario7654]

Reg Johnson Honestly, as Darrell said in the commentary box, it was just a racing incident.

[@ferrypanjaitan890]

Mirip MM93 Siasatnya Suka Suka Menjegal Siapa Yg Mau Juara Dunia !

[@petergerritsen9950]

Doohan is a true legend. But what an ugly riding style. Hideous but effective.

[@TrickyMario7654]

You can thank his injuries from the crash he had at Assen in 1992 for the riding style he came to adopt.

[@djkarashi85]

he's not riding a moto GP bike that you can hold the throttle wide open mid corner with Aids out the wazoo ,with no problem. A very defensive style to counteract a 2 stroke high side. - why you barely ever see a doohan highside. Same with Abe. Not sure why you consider it "ugly". But I've never seen Peter Gerritsen on any GP grids.....
