Usually when you cruise past the calendar stalls you glance at the ones with the girls in bikinis. Recently I actually stopped to have a good look. When I don't care about the racing ones I did notice this time a MotoGP Legends Calendar. It's $25 I think, and I'm actually going to get it tomorrow.

edit: When I say "legends", they were way back in the past. B&W photos.

I bought it! This is what I got

The wording is in four languages, English, German, French and Spanish. The thing that's shit is they don't give details of the picture. April and October are effectively the same picture. Same two riders at probably a different lap of the same race, with Mike Hailwood's familiar mug noticeable on both pics.

I didn't realise, but Mir actully reset the record for a 500/motogp champ with the least wins. He sits alone at 1. I knew of Mike Hawthorn and Keke Rosberg in F1, but assumed one of champs in the early decades when there was 5 races or something that also won just a single race. But no, Joan now on his own.

Previously, inaugural champ Leslie Graham, Umberto Masetti held the fewest wins with 2 of 6 and 8 races in 3 of the first 4 years of the championship. Then it too til Nicky Hayden in 06 to win a cship with 2 wins (17 races).

Mir has also become the first champion to do so without setting a fastest lap. Second rider joining Wayne Rainey (92) to win a cship without setting a pole.

At the time, I actually missed all but the last two corners of the 92 British GP. I was pissed for doing so, because I missed out on a whole race and you could work out straight away Gardner was going to win. That was a surprise result and you want to see how the race formed for him to do so. Intermittently over the years, I had looked up on YT to see if the race was uploaded. It wasn't til a couple of years ago, and I finally got to see the race in full this week.

Watching the championship deciding 1992 South African GP as though it's a live event.

Kocinski pole. Doohan actually qualified on the front row. Surprising to me considering his injuries.

Rainey leads. Gardner with the terrible start after qualifying 2nd.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Randy Mamola falls off in his last race.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Gardner having a tough time getting by Doug Chandler for 3rd, as he makes his way up the field. Doohan not even in the background now.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Gardner 3rd.

Kocinski leads from Rainey.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Lawson floundering in his last race. Just passed by Peter Goddard for 8th.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Niall McKenzie in 7th I remember was crap. Good for one race a year.

Lawson now passed by Criville.

And now he’s got Goddard.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Lawson out. Career over.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Goddard fell off!

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Gardner now right behind Rainey. 3 laps to go.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Got him.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Kocinski wins. Rainey is the World Champion.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Kocinski actually pipped Schwartz for 4th.

Daryl Beattie and Peter Goddard scored the same points.

Gardner could’ve won had he not had such a bad start.
