That would never have happened to a 125 rider going to 500GP.. Bigger balls required to be a 500GP winner than motogp plus Id rather be called a 500gp legend than a MotoGP one..

Great to see footage of Assen from the early 90's. I live 45 minutes from Assen and in the late 80's and early 90's I drove there frequentely. Those days the track was public road when there were no races. In 1992 they closed it for traffic because too many accidents happen during these illegal track days.
OMG!!!!…..so glad this popped up in suggested vids today. From when I was really into watching these guys. Almost all my favs: Lawson, Schwantz, Kocinski, Mamola on the Cagiva, Doohan...etc. and it was so awesome to hear Chandler's and Duhamel's names!!! I didn't recall them racing 500s. I've seen those guys race too at Road America (4mile road course in beautiful Wisconsin). I think I had gotten Chandler's autograph perhaps. When I saw Kocinski race 250s there he lapped everyone but 2nd place! Mind blowingly phenomenal!
Lost era of real GP Motorcycle racing .... not like the product of today Dorna Repsol Honda Marquez family tree ....pure joke .... all Spanish series today .....the troll singed for 4 years ....4 more years of Repsol Honda wins ..... 1995 - 2020 same sponsorship ...
How cool to see this race again - i remember it first hand back in the day. A great race with some very competitive and talented riders and equally, if not more so... commentators - Nick Harris - just a legend on the mic - the pleasure is all ours! Ah yes, almost forgot to mention the horrendous and disrespectful litter problem - drinks cans everywhere - I hope the Dutch had a coherent recycling policy back then :)

I love the current MotoGP and WSBK... but man there was always something hardcore and special about these 500cc 2-stroke monsters. I think some younger fans would be surprised to know the speed these little machines could get to!
nothing in comparison to motoGP bikes. properly smoked from Smoke City. FYI a 500cc gets out of breath very easy. it pounds your ass until 250kmh. after that, it's like the bike struggles to speed up. very slow to go to 300kmh. unlike a MotoGP 4T which accelerates constently up to the rev limiter. with almost 300hp now and around 230hp back in 2002. which is about 20hp more than a 500 and doesn't get out of breath. better engine ridability too. rpm range is way bigger on a 4T. more exploitable by the rider. faster and less dangerous. this the right evolution. 2T have shit lifetime too. easy to seize up. yes they were beautiful manly bikes but way too dangerous and stupid thinking about it now.
It has lost a lot of magic mate. The ever turning right hander after start finish (noordlus) is as boring as boring can be. I think the name 'Cathedral of Speed' is misplaced now and should go to Mugello for example.
@@ArcticEwi Yes definitely Mugello. Not a single 1st gear corner on it and it is the only track on the calendar that can test the top speed of motogp bikes. I mean even moto2 were able to clock 300km/h there.
@@patthewoodboy Yes , yes ... But when killed , 4 strokes had 1000 cc against 500 and electronics controls were forbiden on 500. It was decided to kill them for marketing reason (they were too differents of commercial bikes).
We (Motorcycle Enthusiasts) dont need more HP and faster bikes that are only drive-able with electronics. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE bring back the REAL bikes and the true MEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 'Electronic Aids' introduced mainly on Moto GP Bikes have made them faster, but more importantly much safer. No one surely wants to see the injuries caused such as to Mick Doohan & Wayne Rainey etc.
Went to this race on my trusty steed RG500 CH (1989) Pepsi-Suzuki "Kevin Schwantz" GP Race Replica. Fabulous Bike. Was very disappointed to see Kevin get knocked out by Eddie Lawson, but still in GP this is what can happens ! Return Journey a little disheartened, but did I get back again - of course I did.
Bonita carrera . Enhora buena a Criville por ganarla y enhora buena a Juan Garriga, lastima que su moto que no estaba a la altura (no era pata negra). Para mi tiene mucho valor el trabajo de Juan Garriga
Ganar en pleno 1992 siendo rookie incluso sin Doohan, Rainey, Schwantz o Lawson era algo muy difícil, como viajar a la luna. Creo que hoy en día no se valora... Crivillé tardó dos años y medio en volver a ganar.
+Pablo Navas Exacto. Y no olvidemos que gano batiendo a Kocinski (entonces considerado el heredero de Rayney, aunque luego el chico de Arkansas se desinflo con los años como la gaseosa). Y del nivel de esa carrera, decir que Mamola fue 5º y Niall Mckenzie 7º (y ninguno de los 2 era manco)
Y mención especial a Joan Garriga, que probablemente hizo la carrera de su vida en 500, aunque se quedara fuera del podio (o una de las mejores junto con Malasia 91 y Donigton92, su único podio)
These 500's were such great race bikes, not the boring 4 strokes we have now, and then the they went and ruined the Assen track with the layout change, so sad. Note: No end of electronic aids would have helped Lawson and Schwantz at the 17 minute mark.
Back in the days when: 1) The cameramen acknowledged there were actually more than just 3 guys in the race 2) The circuits were breathtaking and fast 3) You had enormous crowds that were close to the action and had atmosphere God I despise these 'new' shit, tarmac-jungle F1 tracks, all with exactly the same layouts and no distinguishing features whatsoever. Makes watching racing seem a chore :/
Most, if not all, new circuits were designed by the same guy, Hermann Tilke, whose a car racer. When Mick Doohan first rode at Sepang, he complained that, "Whoever designed this place has no idea about motorcycle racing." The new tracks are designed to accommodate the abomination shamelessly called "Grand Prix" -- Formula 1, like what you mentioned.
Scary and short gravel traps and exposed solid track walls. Safety hadn't matured yet, made racing more on the edge and let's face it, the crowd eats that up. I'm glad tracks are a lot more safe these days, crashing is part of racing, but surviving to race another day should be as well.
Barros was excellent, but his head was not the strong point. When Shuwants and Lawson fall, Alex is 3 or 4 seconds ahead of Carriga and Criville, this difference is lost in less than 2 laps, then it is lost. But still the greatest two-wheeler in Brazil, my reverences ... sorry google translator
The wound wasn't out of the ordinary , the treatment was horrible , causing the blood supply to the leg to stop so in a couple of hours the leg started to rot , Dr Costa connected both legs together so the good one could feed blood to the bad one .
This was an awesome race I especially liked the cattle inside the track and the sea of cups and beer cans they crashed into. Too bad Barros didn't win.
Yes he was. This must be a commentary in retrospect for him. As for Nick I know that he was there live. Gavin was born in 78, meaning that he was 14 in 1992.
Eddy hit the ditch in front of me when we were watching the race in the haarbocht corner. The good old days before the track was fucked up. The day before I got a picture of Kevin and me in the paddock. Next day Eddy took him out. Man did I felt sorry for my hero
Indeed, chunder27, exactly what I think every time I see these great old races with the new commentary. Such a pity. However it does give Nick Harris to get things right for a change... Really hope he retires soon.
