The very first time I ever watch a race was the live telecast of the race in Batu 3 I think it was 1991. Jon Kosinci won the race as Wayne Rainey was out of action due to a crash. Loris Caparossi won the 125cc championship. The excitement kept me there for a few more years before I started to find it boring and F1 came along. It was good while it last. The rivalry then was quite exciting with Wayne Rainey, Wayne Gardner, Kevin Schwantz and Mick Doohan. Eddie Lawson made a comeback with the Cagiva but didn't do well. So did Freddie Spencer, but he was a bit rusty aledi. I remember he crashed in one of the races and actually lost consciousness - he was lying motionless for a while. Alex Barros was the brake maestro as he seem to be braking later than most. The 250cc races were also equally exciting then. Harada won his first race with the slimmest of margin. Max Biaggi was there too. Loris Capirossi moved up didn't really shine through in the 250cc. Anyway, those were the highlights that I can recall from the early 90's motoracing scene... I hope I didn't mix up the names and facts... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
