Mick Doohan<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mick was the first rider to win a world championship title with Repsol Honda, the same year the team was officially created in 1995. Michael Sydney Doohan<\/strong>, which is his full name, was born in Queensland, Australia on 4 June 1965. For five years he dominated the motorcycling scene, obtaining five world titles, four of them with our team. He made his debut in the sport at 19 in 1984, on the \u201cSurfer\u2019s Paradise\u201d track in Australia. His first international race took place in 1987 at Suzuka 8 Hours, and in 1989 he was already competing in the Motorcycling World Championship, racing with Honda in the 500\u00a0cc class.<\/p>\n

This classic rider\u2019s stats are undoubtedly spectacular, more so when you consider that he only ever raced in 500\u00a0cc class, without first going through lower displacements: 54 victories, 95 podiums, and 58 poles<\/strong>. The successes that arose from this rider\u2019s joining Repsol Honda were many and represent an era that made a legend out of the Honda NSR 500<\/a>. Doohan retired in 1999, but his legacy was carried on by his teammate \u00c1lex Crivill\u00e9.<\/p>\n
