True Gentleman still....takes his time for the fans....not like some of the Prima Donnas you have now....Pedrosa springs to mind.

The only man to win a 250 and 500 title in the same year.....

Spencer was forced to retire due to tendonitis not psychological problems.

@afromeridional I don't know of any Psych problems, But I believe he had an injury during off season back in 86'

Hi all, i'm italian, i was 15 when Freddie made the astonishing 1985 season winning 14 races in 250 and 500.

But he was also a mistery. What happened in spain 1st race of 1986? He retired with a false excuse and since that time he disappeared. I suspect a panick attac. In 1988 tried with yamaha agostini team, but was awful, in my opinion he tried tu cure his panick attacks but was only able to restart racing, far from being the old Freddie. Is anyone aware of FS' eventual psychologic problems?

The best of the history for me....... Fast Freddieeeeeee.....!

[randobad]

Fast Freddie is the best. A real showman.



[neomuttley]

He can't show his face @these events anymore. Not after he burned so many good people w/his defunct riding school. He ultimately failed the sport that did so much for him...

[Autan4]

@teamfab The last one.
