Thanks.
We appreciate the effort mate 💪
The way Luca passed Mick was sensational! Wow!
Indeed!
Yeah, at 28:38. The racing then was very different from now. 1996 Cadalora managed a mediocre four rostrum finishes - but it put him third in the championship. There were really no one that could match Doohan. Fun fact: that year swiss rider Adrian Bosshard started eleven (11) races on a Honda Swissauto ELF 500 and finished only nine (9) oft them. Makes one wonder about the reliability of that bike - and of Bosshard.
This time in my life for me is the pinnacle of 500cc racing...I'm 56yr old now so I've seen most of it...but like I say for me this is the pinnacle 👍👍
Big Dazza Eastlake in commentary! Ah the memories from the greatest sports show on earth - Nines Wide World of Sport.
Thank you very much for this video...I'm looking for this video for so many2 years...i'm riding Cagiva Mito 125cc in 1993 till 1996. I still remember we are invited to celebrate Cagiva Team Agostini at Shah Alam during Malaysian GP. A very sweet memorable moment and a chance ini a lifetime to meet John Kocinski and Giacomo Agostini in person. Thanks again for the video!!!
You're welcome, though you should really be thanking my dad for taping this way back in 1994!
@@TrickyMario7654 yup...really appreciate it thank you
Incredible race in an incredible era! With Rainey commentating and Kocinski on the amazing Cagiva! Too many legends to name here!
It was great of Nine to have Rainey in their commentary box.
It's clear though that Wayne obviously wasn't too fond of Kocinski. Barry was a lot more enthousiastic about john and the Cagiva. Then again: Kocinski didn't have a lot of friends out there in the field but he sure was a hell of a rider. One thing i learned here in this video which I never knew... Rainey almost went for a Cagiva-ride? Still think it's a shame Cagiva pulled out of MotoGP-racing after the '94 season just about as they were getting as good as the japs. I bet the Cagiva's could have scored lots of podiums in 95. One thing anyone has to admit: they gave us some of the most beautiful bikes ever to take part in MotoGP-racing.
Man I miss Barry ! Of course he’d be Crucified by the Propaganda Ministry these days because Barry spoke Truth with No Filter at all which is just what the Perpetual Adolescent Mentality of today can’t tolerate!🤣 It’s been fun listening to Wayne going from totally Ripping on JC to speaking out the other side as this one wound down. Great Days these were, 500’s brought Only The Best to the top unlike today where Everyone goes through The System of School-3-2MotoGP and there’s Zero opportunity for Privateers.
The woke PC mob would not stand commentators like Barry Sheene and James Hunt nowadays. Darrell Eastlake was quite a commentator too, especially with his enthusiasm.
Cause Mr Barry sheene told it how it is with no bullshit included, the truth will set you free as they say, rest in peace Barry sheene one of the greatest racers of all time 🏍️😊🙏👊

and the Great John Kochinskij
Mitical Cadalora
You Need luck in Life, Doohan won vive title and Cada?ora that was Better than him none....that's life
That Cagiva was a masterpiece ❤️
Beautiful but not very fast
@@Dsm152 Did you notice who won this race?
❤❤❤
Yeah it won one every once in awhile, if you find out where Cagiva riders regularly finished it probably be around tenth.
Dazza and Bazza, worlds best commentary team
the way these guys ride these machines is soooo amazing
Rainey was hard pressed to find anything good to say about Kocinski during the race commentary. Speck of bad blood there I suspect. Thanks for uploading this race. Really enjoyed it.
Not surprising really. JK really deserved his reputation as a Primadonna. He definitely had some psychological/personality issues that made his behaviour strange at times, downright bizarre at others. I think he had major OCD.
@@colinstewart1432 Nailed it.
I can’t remember who it was but a British journalist told a story that while at Laguna Seca for WSBK. He went to the Honda garage to ask some questions and seen a bunch of chocolate bars laid out in a neat order and thought it was hospitality so he took one, turns out it was JK chocolate and when he seen one missing went absolutely nuts wouldn’t even go out to ride.
@@zacharyradford5552 Poor JK. Respect my Authoritaaa🤣
How straight and no BS is that? Mighty Mick both on and off the bike. thanks for sharing
Brillan and espectacular riding of john. This was the day for him and the cagiva.
Great track for TV. I think the main complaint with Eastern Creek is there is little to no opportunity to overtake. Cadalora certainly found a way! But the close camera shots are awesome for looking at how the rider and bike works.
I think at time land puchase was issue and track design was comprimised
Great race... great moment for Kocinski and Cagiva!.. well deserved!
and thank you so much for the upload.
Holy mushroom....that Kocinski guy is riding the pants off that cagiva bike.
Nice to hear Wayne commentating :-)
Nine also a special interview with Rainey after this race, but my dad taped over it with the next round a few weeks later. He wasn't the only guest commentator Nine had over the years, some of them from the top of my head include Gardner, McCoy, and Croser.
@@TrickyMario7654 Barry Sheene
Awesome upload !
Schwantz is a natural comedian, he loves to mess around and laugh 😂
John Kocinski. That man was more than just talent. He was a genius. If he wanted something, this race, WSB, in business it just happened. I'm glad he's out of racing he's so much better than that.
His talent was collosal. Forget GP for a second. One of only 2 riders ever to beat Carl Fogarty around Assen. The difficult human relationships with teams were also legendary. Great rider though. Won in every class.
@@colinstewart1432 Pfft, none of them are anything compared to TT riders, these Poodles only ever raced round safe tracks at slower speeds LOL
@@markholroyde9412 I was at the TT in 2017. I'd agree that short - circuit riding is safer. If you haven't already been, get yourself over there. It's way better than it looks on screen.
@@colinstewart1432 I know, I did it in '83 on a CBX6 before all the namby pamby controlled shit started, you couldn't pay me to go today
@@markholroyde9412 Good stuff. You know whereof you speak then 👍
Thanks for this. Doohan was seething in that interview 🥴
What a treat , loved every second!
John Kosinski was Just as Good as Anyone who Ever sat on a 500 or any other Bike. I always felt bad for him as he never got the proper support from KR and then CAGIVA couldn’t give him the consistency that the Japanese Bikes supplied Riders.
I think it was his character that kinda screwed him over in the end.
I'm surprised he survived the Roberts regime. His pure talent must have been key.
Always a hero with me,up there with the best!
@@williamrae9954 same for me. Although he may have been a pretentious asshole, he knew what he wanted and he could ride! Still races flat tracks these days!
@@phillarsson8253 Didn't know that...thanks...big Jeff Ward fan too...he's from my city,Glasgow Scotland, his father played football(soccer) with Glasgow Rangers back in the day!
Good Old Aussies! 👍 Booing the hell out of the Politician🤣 That's quality right there 👌
Honda's NSR the dream machine
Doohan a real legend .. the Márquez of his Day & probably the only bloke that’d be able to give it to him on a regular basis, if he were in Motogp today.
Maybe if Doohan was around the age he was back when he was riding, because I doubt a 55-year old Mick would be competitive.
Casey too
So glad the race moved back to the Island .
John's cagiva my ohh my what a beautiful machine!!
Unfortunately it didn’t last for him or Cagiva for that matter.
Wow…..pure, pure racing here.
Cagivas! They were only around for a few yrs in MotoGP. Randy Mamola put them on the podium for the first time in '88.
Luca Cadalora kinda had a "modern" riding style and it's visible, his body and head is much further over the side than the average 500 rider, not something I've seen noted before but it was a suprise, when he's riding right behind Schwantz and Doohan you can see the stark style difference.
That's me parachuting in with the fosters flag, all the way down i was shouting "I CAN SEE THE PUB FROM ERE" 😂 🙏
Really? That must have been an experience for you.
@@TrickyMario7654 😂
Amazing to see the grod......4 Honda's, 2 Suzuki's, 2 Cagiva's , 1 Paton, 22 Yamaha's......22 Yamaha !!!! That is insane. I know the Honda's were absolutely hard to ride but they were by far the best bike in the 90's.
The NSRs weren’t readily available to privateers like the yams were. It was $1000,000 to lease a NSR for 1 year. No amount of money could buy one.
@@Dsm152 So true and it shows by the amount of GP-privateers on Yamaha in those days
Eso sí que eran carreras de motos!!!👏👏👏👏👏❤️🏍️⛽

Sheene n Rainey playing mental gymnastics talking about JK
COMEDY GOLD
As fast as anyone...
EVER 😎🏁🍾
When JK parted ways with Team Roberts there were some issues. Just check out Peter Starr's interview with JK. He calls it the "unraveling".
@@billymc2681 such a great interview I've watched it like five times
He's totally at peace with himself
The first day at the ranch changed the rest of his life
"Kenny didn't know what I could do...
I knew what I could do"
Just in awe!!!
When bikes were bikes (no aero, lowering devices, traction control, gps mapping shit).
Moto GP needs to look back otherwise it’s done. Such a shame manufacturers put tech first before rider skill
Thanks for upload...have you got the tribute of Wayne Rainey that was played after race?
No, not anymore. It was originally on this cassette, but my dad taped over it with the Malaysian 500cc GP just two weeks later.
@@TrickyMario7654 There was a parade around the track with Rainey in the back of a convertable before the race too from memory which was part of the 9 telecast too. Darrell Eastlake said in years after it was his most vivid memory in his sporting commentary career when that parade happened and response of the crowd.
@@foldedpaperboats Yes, I’m aware of that parade, though it’s not on my copy.
I kept expecting to see Schwantz on number 34. I wonder if the beurocrats these days would even allow Doohan to enter with that thumb control rear brake. Good footage of it. Always great to hear from Barry Sheene and Wayne Rainey.
Thanks. Schwantz did run 1 in 1994, so it must have been quite a sight to see him with it.
@@TrickyMario7654 Such a gifted and incredibly popular guy worldwide. Massive fanbase of admirers at the time and to this day. Brilliant to see him carrying the number 1.
Tx for the upload, some great footage sparking great memories. That thumb brake after Doohans leg surgeries was a sweet piece of improv....first time since then that i;ve seen footage of it. These days they would likely just ban it on a technicality rather than say..."go for it". Cheers.
very cool John 🐱
old but gold
Grande Cadalora
28:38 That pass From Luca on Doohan!
The bikes looked soooo much better then ❤
It's a real loss to GP fans they never saw Cal Raburn 3rd .....unbelievable that guy
Kocinski was a fantastic pilot when he was on a good day
And that was always his problem. He was so mentally fragile you never knew when JK was going to have a good day or just burn all his bridges.
The change in paint jobs for Honda is due their Sponsorship from last year going to the Williams F1 team…. A little FYI.
Yes, I know that. The ill-fated Williams team Senna drove for in 1994 before his untimely death at Imola that year. Nine also had F1 rights at the time, so that Grand Prix was shown on the channel too.
Its proof that MV should have accepted the offer, the brothers were serious people.
Sorry, who's MV?
@@TrickyMario7654Think he's talking about MV Augusta.
Half of the grid made a false-start :D Great times!
Bring back the 2 stroke powerrrrrrr
National Anthem of Anne Kirkpatrick 4:21

Cagiva💓

Pretty weird to hear Wayne Rainey talking smack basically about John Kocinski!
If Kocinski wouldn't have been rushed through by Kenny Roberts, he would probably have been smacking Waynes ass on track!
In the end Kocinski is a millionaire and basically has zero physical problems!
A 250 world champion and a world superbike championship under his belt.
Sure, nothing compared to Wayne, but who came out on top in the end?
A lot of racers just didn’t like John, simple as that. I can understand why too.

GREAT VIDS THANKS
JK backstory
Rainey ..."he couldn't handle the pressure when he was my teammate"
hmm... So why did Roberts drop JK's Ohlin guy and Bud Asklund
"Last year he didn't have a ride"
hmm... who was #11 at Laguna sipping champagne
"He's trying to wipe out a bad image he had for whatever reasons"
HOW ABOUT I'M NOT A F*CKING TEST RIDER FOR YOU
Brought 4 straight championships to the Ranch
JK should have walked from that shit show in 91
As fast as anyone... EVER
Still in perfect health
😎🏁🍾
Skip 12 minutes and enjoy... for a bit?
Tá na Globo play
What Wayne Rainey says about John not handling pressure is BS
Wayne they made John ride bikes to your specs. John left because of them not putting the bike to the way he wanted the dang thing setup.
Straight up from John's Dad Jerry.
JK was an awesomely talented rider, no question. But he had personality issues that meant he could never get along with teams. In WSBK he threw a can of coke at someone's head because it wasn't cold enough. Great rider, but definitely had an OCD problem. This gradually destroyed his personal reputation so nobody wanted to work with him.
@colinstewart1432 I can agree but they wouldn't set the bikes up like he wanted, he is a pure racer not into bs or drama just do it right no excuses, and who the heck serves warm Coke?
