I prefer the against-the-odds, quixotic wins over the best-man-with-the-best-team-on-the-best-bike humdrum. Of the current racers I guess the one I'd most like to see get a win would be Nicky Hayden. My favourite win was Troy Bayliss but that was such a perfect moment it doesn't need repeating. Of riders past maybe Eddie Lawson's win on the Cagiva rates the highest (closely followed by Kevin Magee winning his 6th-ever GP at Jarama '88) or any of Garry McCoy's chaotic displays of seemingly out-of-control mastery. If we include SBK then Gobert at Phillip Island (pick a race!) is tops. It's probably the heroic failures I remember the most fondly; Wayne Gardner at Paul Ricard, Lawson on the Cagiva getting T-boned by Schwantz, Steve Martin leading 95% of the SBK race at Phillip Island, Simon Crafar in world supers, Jaque and Nakano taking each-other out and denying a 500cc win against the 990s...... But to return to the original question; my favourite GP riders are Mick Doohan, Wayne Gardner and Casey Stoner. Sue me; I'm a one-eyed patriot. -- Elsie. |
