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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)
