Talk:Mick Doohan

Untitled

Isn't it true Mick's 54 wins is also 2d only to Agostini? Trekphiler 11:23, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Rossi has more now

When does the Rossi quote come from? Presumably early in Valé's 500cc career?

What about Angel Nieto's 13 world championships?

Doohan is third, behind Agostini and Rossi, for race wins in the 500cc / MotoGP leading category; but he is fifth in the list of total Grand Prix wins, with Nieto and Mike Hailwood also ahead of him - counting the solo classes only, and not the sidecars. Nine riders have more GP titles than Doohan. (signed: no-name, 18 August 2007)

Road racing?

What roads do they race on? I thought they are specially built 'Circuits' Please sign your comments - Culnacréann 19:21, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Road racing is a common term in motorcycle sport, and it distinguishes circuit and ‘real road’ racing (such as in Ireland and on the Isle of Man) from off-road competition (such as motocross). It effectively means tarmac racing. (signed: no-name, 18 August 2007)

Rollercoaster?

Seems noteworthy to me. Someone should find somewhere appropriate to mention it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.218.188.114 (talk) 08:35, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Injuries

This bloke has a history of injury that rivals that of Jackie Chan and Evel Knievel, his hands are naturally clasped and it's painful for him to do much else. His knees and several other "bones" are now made of titanium, his racing career has brought with it much pain and hardship. I learned of this myself when my flight was delayed because Mick had been held up by the post-9/11 security bullshit.

If anyone can please find a source for the fact that he's a walking bag of metal and inflamed nerve endings, please do. 220.249.17.154 (talk) 15:28, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

First phrase of the article

The first phrase of the article states that Mick Doohan won five consecutive 500 cc World Championships while also saying he was surpassed by Rossi who has won 9. This choice of words might lead readers into error, since those 9 World Championships that Rossi has won aren't all in the same class, and not all of them are consecutive. Maybe someone should correct this issue? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vandrona (talk • contribs) 11:19, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

1989 and 1992 World Superbike participations

It seems that it wasn't Michael Doohan who took part in some events in 1989 and 1992 World Superbike Championships: according to WSB archives, in Sugo 1989 there was Scott Doohan, his brother, and in Manfeild 1989 it was Michael Dowson. In Manfeild 1992 there was again Scott Doohan. It is strange also because he would have raced with Yamaha-powered Bimota and Yamaha while racing in the 500cc Grand Prix with team Honda HRC... 95.248.77.237 (talk) 12:52, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
