@ 2:10 Meanest corner ever " old skool corner de strubben" coming from full speed into a slow right hander..... tricked a lot of riders and material to fail....
I went to Assen as a guest with Team Marlboro Robert's in 1996 when Kenny was running the 3 cylinder Modenas with Jean Michel Bayle and Noriyuki Aoki - 125,000 spectators on Friday, 150,000 on Saturday and over 200,000 on Sunday- the place was PACKED -
Those were the days, great to watch, and so unpredictable especially when the back markers came into play
So many great racers in the era
Go Kevin Go on the fabulous Pepsi-Suzuki RG500 !
Totally unbiased reporting; but these were my favorite days.
Yes! A wee bit of favoritism detected

This was the first 500cc GP Nine televised after acquiring the rights off SBS in June that year.
Who’s the commentator with Barry? Also it seems odd to change the broadcast network mid year.
God how I miss 2 stroke racing bikes..
