Yeah, at 28:38. The racing then was very different from now. 1996 Cadalora managed a mediocre four rostrum finishes - but it put him third in the championship. There were really no one that could match Doohan. Fun fact: that year swiss rider Adrian Bosshard started eleven (11) races on a Honda Swissauto ELF 500 and finished only nine (9) oft them. Makes one wonder about the reliability of that bike - and of Bosshard.
It's clear though that Wayne obviously wasn't too fond of Kocinski. Barry was a lot more enthousiastic about john and the Cagiva. Then again: Kocinski didn't have a lot of friends out there in the field but he sure was a hell of a rider. One thing i learned here in this video which I never knew... Rainey almost went for a Cagiva-ride? Still think it's a shame Cagiva pulled out of MotoGP-racing after the '94 season just about as they were getting as good as the japs. I bet the Cagiva's could have scored lots of podiums in 95. One thing anyone has to admit: they gave us some of the most beautiful bikes ever to take part in MotoGP-racing.
Thank you very much for this video...I'm looking for this video for so many2 years...i'm riding Cagiva Mito 125cc in 1993 till 1996. I still remember we are invited to celebrate Cagiva Team Agostini at Shah Alam during Malaysian GP. A very sweet memorable moment and a chance ini a lifetime to meet John Kocinski and Giacomo Agostini in person. Thanks again for the video!!!
Nine also a special interview with Rainey after this race, but my dad taped over it with the next round a few weeks later. He wasn't the only guest commentator Nine had over the years, some of them from the top of my head include Gardner, McCoy, and Croser.
Great track for TV. I think the main complaint with Eastern Creek is there is little to no opportunity to overtake. Cadalora certainly found a way! But the close camera shots are awesome for looking at how the rider and bike works.
I track Marshalled at both Eastern Ck and Philip Is. Philip Is is a great track for spectators as they can see the majority of the track no matter where they are. Eastern Ck was not spectator friendly and it was not the original design where the main straight run North South not the East West as now.
Luca Cadalora kinda had a "modern" riding style and it's visible, his body and head is much further over the side than the average 500 rider, not something I've seen noted before but it was a suprise, when he's riding right behind Schwantz and Doohan you can see the stark style difference.
John Kosinski was Just as Good as Anyone who Ever sat on a 500 or any other Bike. I always felt bad for him as he never got the proper support from KR and then CAGIVA couldn’t give him the consistency that the Japanese Bikes supplied Riders.

Great Days these were, 500’s brought Only The Best to the top unlike today where Everyone goes through The System of School-3-2MotoGP and there’s Zero opportunity for Privateers.

Cause Mr Barry sheene told it how it is with no bullshit included, the truth will set you free as they say, rest in peace Barry sheene one of the greatest racers of all time 🏍️😊🙏👊
Barry was certainly one of a kind. No one told Barry what to do as when I seen him walking about the Eastern CK pits smoking a cigarette and as a fire fighter myself cigarettes can't Ignite fluids.
John Kocinski. That man was more than just talent. He was a genius. If he wanted something, this race, WSB, in business it just happened. I'm glad he's out of racing he's so much better than that.
His talent was collosal. Forget GP for a second. One of only 2 riders ever to beat Carl Fogarty around Assen. The difficult human relationships with teams were also legendary. Great rider though. Won in every class.
@@markholroyde9412 I was at the TT in 2017. I'd agree that short - circuit riding is safer. If you haven't already been, get yourself over there. It's way better than it looks on screen.

I kept expecting to see Schwantz on number 34. I wonder if the beurocrats these days would even allow Doohan to enter with that thumb control rear brake. Good footage of it. Always great to hear from Barry Sheene and Wayne Rainey.
@@TrickyMario7654 Such a gifted and incredibly popular guy worldwide. Massive fanbase of admirers at the time and to this day. Brilliant to see him carrying the number 1.

These days they would likely just ban it on a technicality rather than say..."go for it". Cheers.
Doohan a real legend .. the Márquez of his Day & probably the only bloke that’d be able to give it to him on a regular basis, if he were in Motogp today.
Amazing to see the grod......4 Honda's, 2 Suzuki's, 2 Cagiva's , 1 Paton, 22 Yamaha's......22 Yamaha !!!! That is insane. I know the Honda's were absolutely hard to ride but they were by far the best bike in the 90's.
I didn't know that: Doohan had a brother who also raced 500s, and there was (is?) a "Golden Training Wheels" rookie award that was won by Criville in '93.
Yes, I know that. The ill-fated Williams team Senna drove for in 1994 before his untimely death at Imola that year. Nine also had F1 rights at the time, so that Grand Prix was shown on the channel too.
@@TrickyMario7654 There was a parade around the track with Rainey in the back of a convertable before the race too from memory which was part of the 9 telecast too. Darrell Eastlake said in years after it was his most vivid memory in his sporting commentary career when that parade happened and response of the crowd.
@@billymc2681 such a great interview I've watched it like five times He's totally at peace with himself The first day at the ranch changed the rest of his life "Kenny didn't know what I could do... I knew what I could do"
Pretty weird to hear Wayne Rainey talking smack basically about John Kocinski! If Kocinski wouldn't have been rushed through by Kenny Roberts, he would probably have been smacking Waynes ass on track! In the end Kocinski is a millionaire and basically has zero physical problems! A 250 world champion and a world superbike championship under his belt. Sure, nothing compared to Wayne, but who came out on top in the end?
When bikes were bikes (no aero, lowering devices, traction control, gps mapping shit). Moto GP needs to look back otherwise it’s done. Such a shame manufacturers put tech first before rider skill
GREAT VIDS THANKS JK backstory Rainey ..."he couldn't handle the pressure when he was my teammate" hmm... So why did Roberts drop JK's Ohlin guy and Bud Asklund "Last year he didn't have a ride" hmm... who was #11 at Laguna sipping champagne "He's trying to wipe out a bad image he had for whatever reasons" HOW ABOUT I'M NOT A F*CKING TEST RIDER FOR YOU Brought 4 straight championships to the Ranch JK should have walked from that shit show in 91 As fast as anyone...

What Wayne Rainey says about John not handling pressure is BS Wayne they made John ride bikes to your specs. John left because of them not putting the bike to the way he wanted the dang thing setup. Straight up from John's Dad Jerry.
JK was an awesomely talented rider, no question. But he had personality issues that meant he could never get along with teams. In WSBK he threw a can of coke at someone's head because it wasn't cold enough. Great rider, but definitely had an OCD problem. This gradually destroyed his personal reputation so nobody wanted to work with him.
@colinstewart1432 I can agree but they wouldn't set the bikes up like he wanted, he is a pure racer not into bs or drama just do it right no excuses, and who the heck serves warm Coke?

Great race... great moment for Kocinski and Cagiva!.. well deserved!
Incredible race in an incredible era! With Rainey commentating and Kocinski on the amazing Cagiva! Too many legends to name here!
It was great of Nine to have Rainey in their commentary box.

Yeah it won one every once in awhile, if you find out where Cagiva riders regularly finished it probably be around tenth.
R.I.P Barry Sheene,he was an absolute legend of motorcycle racing and he was a great motorsports commentator as well.
I met Barry in the pits at one of the Eastern CK GPs. He was the only one who got away with smoking in the pits.
the way these guys ride these machines is soooo amazing

Great track for TV. I think the main complaint with Eastern Creek is there is little to no opportunity to overtake. Cadalora certainly found a way! But the close camera shots are awesome for looking at how the rider and bike works.

Doohan a real legend .. the Márquez of his Day & probably the only bloke that’d be able to give it to him on a regular basis, if he were in Motogp today.

The NSRs weren’t readily available to privateers like the yams were. It was $1000,000 to lease a NSR for 1 year. No amount of money could buy one.

The change in paint jobs for Honda is due their Sponsorship from last year going to the Williams F1 team…. A little FYI.
