[kropotkin thinks...] - Guest Blog: Mat Oxley - How I rode - Mick Doohan
If you enjoyed reading this article, please click here to view it on Kropotkin's site, MotoGP Matters.
----------------- The teak-tough Aussie was the most successful 500 two-stroke rider of all time. This is how Mick Doohan did it Mick Doohan raced 500 GPs from 1989 to 1999, during which time the 500 two-strokes evolved from truly malevolent machines to mostly rider-friendly missiles. His debut season, aboard Honda’s vicious 1989 NSR500, was marred by injury. So too was what should’ve been his first championship-winning season, in 1992. Doohan nearly lost his right leg following an accident at that year’s Dutch TT, but fought back from that to win five consecutive 500 titles from 1994 to 1998. He retired injured, during the 1999 season, just like rivals Wayne Rainey and Kevin Schwantz before him. As Doohan says, “I didn’t crash much, but when I did I did it properly”.
