Mick Doohan Reveals The 5 Greatest MotoGP Riders He Ever Saw

Mick Doohan Reveals The 5 Greatest MotoGP Riders He Ever Saw Mick Doohan won five straight 500cc World Championships from 1994 to 1998, a run it took the sport fifteen years to match. So when Doohan names the five greatest riders he ever saw, it carries weight no ordinary opinion can. In this video, we break down his verdict rider by rider: Mike Hailwood, the only man to win world titles across three different classes in the same era. Eddie Lawson, the methodical champion who switched manufacturers mid-career and still won it all. Wayne Rainey, whose will carried him to three straight titles before a career-ending crash at Misano. Kevin Schwantz, whose single championship hides performances that defied explanation. And Valentino Rossi, whose nine world titles across four manufacturers span an era no one else survived at the top. Five riders. Five different definitions of greatness. One legend qualified enough to judge them all. Watch the full story of Doohan's ultimate list.
