this race is one of many why Kevin schwantz was a popular GP500 racer, and brought Suzuk and his sponsors mucho dinero. He did the unexpected when you it wasnt expected!
@detheroc Braking that late is riding "over the edge." Unsustainable for a race length; destroys tires and whatnot. We're also seeing some stylistic differences between someone desperately trying to pass and someone just as desperately trying to hold their lead. And maybe neither here nor there, but to quote Mick Doohan, "Kevin is the fastest guy I ever raced against, without a shadow of a doubt." Coming from Mick Doohan, that's no small thing. :)
I don't know, I mean the Suzuki seemed to have better front-end braking than the Yam or Honda. It's probably wise to not make direct comparisons since Wayne, Kevin and Mick were all on different machines.. different beasts with different strengths and weaknesses.
Wish we could get times like this back though. Pure 2-stroke.
@hismindovermatter Good point about the different bikes having different characteristics.
And I wouldn't mind a return to 2 stroke; I grew up racing motocross, so the sound of a 2 stroke still does it for me. :) What I'd REALLY like to see, however, is an end to traction control. Wayne Rainey could teach these youngsters a thing or two about throttle control, I'm willing to bet. :)
With the bikes (MotoGP) as they currently are, none of the riders would be able to finish a race without the advanced electronics that they have now, they'd just run out of fuel. Good ol' King Kenny I believe said that the current 800cc bikes are unrideable without them after he himself took a ride on an M1 Yam. It's clear that electronics have been too important in the current formula.
There seriously needs to be a different mindset in technical regs, more man and no electronics.
que maravilla, que carreras las de antes. Esto eran carreras y no lo de ahora con niños plantando banderitas y disfraces de carnaval. En fin me ha hecho recordar grandes momentos de mi niñez. Muchas gracias por el video. Grande kevin y grande rainey autenticos maestros de las dos ruedas. V´sss a todos/as.
simplemente precioso, cuando vuelva a cabalgar mis queridas 2T volvere a enfundarme tu querida chaqueta lucky strike kevin... otra cosa es que frene como tu jajaja :D
Pasar por el exterior al mismísimo Rainey!
