Never pretentious, always humble . A man of integrity and determination. The World could do with a lot more Mick Doohans.

[zxr-cade]

Love Mick what a sensational racer he was by far one of the greatest

He served an incredible apprenticeship with other legends like Joey Dunlop, Kevin Schwantz, Wayne Gardener, Eddie Lawson and Wayne Rainey and after his awful crash at Assen in 1992 became a bigger legend than almost all of them winning 5 consecutive world championships against some stiff competition.

Hats off to you Mick 🇦🇺🏍🏆🇦🇺🏍🏆🇦🇺🏍🏆🇦🇺🏍🏆

Mick, man he checked out and the rest never saw him the rest of the race. Saw him crash in a downpour one race, he got back on his bike, got back on the track and was still in 1st!!! Crazy.

Being a proud Australian I grew up with pictures in my bedroom as a kid of Gardner, as an early Adult I had Doohan’s pictures in my office. Both were instrumental in getting me into road racing from small cc categories up until the Australian Superbike Series in the mid/late 90’s when they were 750 cc Japanese 4 cylinders and the 916 Ducati. To think at the time my road bike was a Fireblade well before it became a racing bike. 👍😎🇦🇺

There's teak tough. An then there's Mick Doohan tough. One dominant rider, enjoy listening to Mick.

[paulcummings]

Mick Doohan one of the absolute racing God's of all time. Man of steel. I salute you.

Terrific down to earth interview of a legend. Well done & what a bloody nice bloke Mick is.👏🏼🇦🇺😎

[forddriver]

I met Mick at Phillip Island when I was with Rothmans. A very humble bloke who is no fool, well aware of his ability but has none of the cliche personality traits associated with so many GP drivers. Mick is a down to earth, ridiculously talented athlete who set such high goals and pushed himself beyond many setbacks whilst riding Honda's NSR500 which was the pinnacle of 2-stroke GP racing.

[firestorm]

This was the guy I followed. The grit, self belief and drive Mick had was just incredible. Even when the tyres were going off, he'd be spinning it up hanging off the side lap after lap with no electronics to help tame the monster. Awesome guy and a great interview.

[peterlarsen]

Outstanding bloke! Mick was _"my"_ man... I was devestated when he crashed....but was awestruck when he came back on his modified NSR.
Great to see him again! He's an inspiration 👍

[MrMotorNerd]

What a Inspiration . Magic interview thank you :)

[humandroid]

Mighty Mick. Speed plus mental strength.

[Jesse-B]

Mick never talks BS, his comments are always pretty much spot on.

[concernedcitizen]

I don’t think I missed any of Mick’s races. I picked him for great things after seeing him race and consistently win against the local legends in Australia. He was sliding bikes around corners way before anyone else. He won his early races with raw talent. I hope his legacy continues through his son in car racing.

[the_mad_leprechaun]

Nice to see Mick looking so well, and it's always nice to hear guys like him reflecting on their career.

[dayleashleynolasco]

Mick Doohan is so cool. Very honest to his answer, his opinion is always delightful to hear. I hope in the next Goodwood we can see the next strand of Legends in Vale Rossi, Casey, Stoner, Jorge Lorenzo, Marc Marquez & of course Dani Pedrosa.

Shame, Nicky Hayden & Marco Simoncelli should have been included as well. 😞 Anyway, its good to see these Legends especially Wayne Rainey could able to ride again despite everything.

[sergioleone]

My favorite bike racer when I was a young man in the very late 80s and 90s.

[sirpatrickbikes]

Mick had a totally different riding style to modern racers like Quartararo, but I tell you what, even on the latest MotoGP machinery he'd still win.

[kmac]

I missed the Doohan years as I couldn’t have a bike at the time and didn’t want to torture myself watching GP’S, when I came across it Mick was absolutely dominating a race and his bizarre style made me think, how can he win like THAT 🤣obviously sad now I missed such a brave, tough one off legend👌🏻

[MaxFromSydney]

Definitely fond memories of watching a dominant Mick Doohan pulling massive power slides on the final lap before winning his 500cc races. The poor analogue TV reception on SBS didn’t put me off.
