I love the camera angles that show the terrain better than modern days, all helicopters and towers which make it all look flat - this gives a sense of the geography

What Kevin could do with the Suzuki is astonishing…My all time favourite.

Greatest era of MotoGP. May the Schwantz be with you.

Fantastic racing Schwartz was completely fearless and Rainey knew it

Rare and not needed mistake by Rainey. Two greats of the sport

The two of them really provided us with such awesome moments during that year.We had Assen, Donington and Hockenheim, all of which were nail-biting finishes. Tremendous!!!

Man Schwantz was unreal.

that goes to show in racing NEVER GIVE UP amazing racing

2 of the absolute all time greats. Coming in 1st was all either one ever cared about but regardless the were both Champions of Moto GP

If you time it from 3 corners to the finish of the penultimate lap to the same place in the last lap Wayne's lap would have been a 2:01,9 - half a second faster than Schwantz's lap record that wasn't beaten until the circuit was modified. Just to get an idea of how hard they were riding that final lap! But, of course, first you have to finish such a lap to get the record. God, how I miss those times and the Schwantz-Rainey battles!

Massive Revvin Kevin fan here but, that was troll level > 9000 from the #34 lol Rainey had just pinned what was perhaps the perfect lap, maybe the best lap ever ridden on a 500 on the real Assen, and just one tenth of a second late on the anchors. Just shows how pinned #34 was tho, aced the brakes, avoided a collision when Rainey got back onto the track after mowing the grass on the exit, and snatched it away. So, bring back 500s!

Beautiful riding at a beautiful circuit - magnificant

Definitely the best era of racing, 500 2 strokes,

I find these old motogp racing fascinating than the current crop of motogp. I guess I'm curious how in the world they rode those beasts with no rider's aid.

@jimcarrey14 Correction. Old Assen was a great circuit.

Im sure it’s not just nostalgia - the racing WAS better back then. These beast bikes looked so lairy to ride and while today’s riders are no doubt just as skilful there isn’t the same feeling that they are riding at the absolute limit of control and it could all go tits up at any moment. Two strokes were awesome.

This old Assen was such a beast track... I always loved the "arena" part from Haatbocht to Strubben... And it's not even original :D

Always wanted to see what its like to ride one of those 5cc 2 strokes. They look like monsters.

absolutely real racing from real men riding real bikes !! awesome and happy days when watching the 500cc grand prix on TV was compulsive viewing !!

The old layout was really better than the new one

Can't get enough og that... Still

DOS MUY BUENOS PILOTOS , GRANDES

The golden age of motogp, nice to hear the screaming two stroke engines again.

crazy - leading every lap but the one that counted- you probably wouldn't want to be back in the Marlboro garage after that one -

1ヒートでのギャップを埋めるためレイニーも必死だったけど最後にやらかしてしまった。ホッケンハイムの悪夢が再び？この2人でなければここまで記憶に残るレースにはならなかったと思う。

When you've just remembered you made a million dollar bet that you would come second!

Nobody better yhan Kevin at applying the pressure to force someone into a mistake - And ESPECIALLY Rainey - uncharacteristic for someone with so much experience- that one probably stung for a while

I remember this race as a Schwantz fan. Crazy mistake by Rainey, definitely unusuale. Old Assen TT was probably the best track for bikes (but definitely too dangerous)...

A esperança é a última que morre

Schwantz 34 the legend puts his hand up before he crosses the finish line., Humiliating Rainey ahahaha
