racing victories to his credit.
Michael Hailwood
An athlete who successfully competed in automobile and motorcycle races. 9 times became the world champion in road racing on motorcycles, as a pilot he participated in Formula 1 and one of the most difficult races – 24 Hours of Le Mans. Unfortunately, he died at the age of 41. Although, perhaps, he could still win more than one victory on a bike or car.
Michael Duane
This representative of Australia has become one of the brightest and most memorable motorcycle races of the last century. During 10 years of performances, Duane managed to win 54 victories. He began and ended his career at the Japanese Grand Prix.
Eddie Lawson
Lawson has always followed the principle: only victory. And he won everywhere he was racing. However, due to a short career in motorcycling, he did not have time to fully reveal his talent. Therefore, the result is somewhat more modest than that of its predecessors: 4 “gold” at the world racing championships.
Angel Nieto
The Spaniard began his professional career in motorcycling at the age of 17. Performed for 22 years. During this time, he managed to become a 13-time world champion, in total he managed to win 90 victories. Long successful performances made Angel a real sports legend.
Stefan Everts
Motorcycle racing is a family hobby of the Everts. Stefan’s father was also a professional motorcycle racer, but his son managed to step out of his shadow and excel in every way. Stefan was one of the youngest world champions – he first lifted the gold cup at the age of 19. He repeated this success 9 more times in a 20-year career. Now Stefan’s son is growing up, it is possible that the boy will continue to glorify the Everts family in the sports field.
