Michael Doohan once said that if you could ride fast at Lakeside, you could ride fast anywhere. Doohan rode fast at Lakeside and went on to win 5 World Championships. The math speaks for itself.
Daryl Beattie #34 in the 250cc support race! 2:17:30: Rob Phillis: "I'm glad...oh well, I HOPE that he gets a good ride next year..." - Doohan's 1989 Honda 500cc ride was obviously an open secret at that point LOL :-D
Mate, thanks so much for posting this. I've been looking for anything like this on Doohan especially. Don't suppose you have anything on the Phillip Island races and the Bathurst race of that year.
