they're talking about Respol guys having the same bike. that's true! but Doohan had the screamer engine and he had about 10hp more than Criville on the top end speed. but the bike was more violent when it was entering the rpm range because the range was shorter than the regular engine in big bang. that's why we see Doohan doing a lot of wheelies on the exits.

Mick completely outclassed everyone in these years.

"Cadalora complained that Mick only wins because he has a Honda. Now he has one and he hasn't won one race." (Comments by Barry Sheene).

What about Malaysia then?

[@simoneortolani3604]

Darren parkinson not the same one , though doohan was on another level

[@Kyotaku82]

So glad they showed some 125cc action - I was thinking I hope they do as its the Italian GP and '96 is Rossi's rookie year in it. Then sure enough there he is at 17 years old and not 1 world championship to his name - fast forward to today and the old fella is now 41 years old with 9 world championships and still racing. Go VR46.

Kyotaku82 Nine also showed the highlights for Rossi’s first win at the Czech Republic GP too, but the video it was in got blocked by Dorna. Bazza does speak highly of him though, he knew that Rossi was something special.

This is a peak of rivalry between Doohan and Criville

[@TrickyMario7654]

There were some memorable moments between the two that year, particularly Jerez and Eastern Creek.

Jmb super résultat 😮

[@vila5522]

Thanks trickyMario!!

[@lolo1965ful]

superbe GP!! avec Barry Sheene au micro il me semble!?

[@jayb293]

i love how Sheene is thinking that the Yamaha is fast here. yes it is but not for the reason he thinks about because Capirex was freakin light. the other Yamahas are nowhere LOL. he was like on average 15kg lighter. that's massive for the straight line speed.

[@darrenparkinson4576]

How good is the commentary compared to the coverage from other international networks?

[@netharad-cx1nb]

A Jean Michel été là ❤️

[@thiscocks]

Damn, that sidecar driver- did he survive?

[@TrickyMario7654]

Yes, he did.

[@triipn]

That was knarly!

[@simonetheproplayer7902]

Adesso io non so chi capirà che parlano tutti un altra lingua comunque se qualcuno ha capito mi risponda: se Cadalora avesse avuto una Honda HRC nel 1993 il penta campione era lui non Doohan con tutto il rispetto per quest’ultimo provate a smentirmi ( in italiano) grazie

[@antonelloateloanto]

Tutto da dimostrare onestamente. Comunque la carriera di Cadalora non è stata così male in realtà. Ma gli è mancata la ciliegina sulla torta: il titolo della 500.
