<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>What with G. Agostini who was the legend in those days, similar to V. Rossi today.....and the contest was vey similar to what Mr. C. Stoner is experiencing today!!! But barry had a vey bad crash at Suzuka where his tyre exploded at 280k’s on the sloping track, he nearly broke every bone in his body (the docs didn't expect him to live) and even the great Agostini was shocked, concerned about Barry that he came to visit him in hospital..and after all that when Barry got better!...what did he do?...
I wasn't going to post in the QP thread because it seems miles off topic but since a seperate thread was devoted to it ... Thanks for the history lesson but Sheene fell off at Daytona in 75, not Suzuka. Had a bad one at Silverstone in 81 or 82 but I think your talking about Daytona. Just figured if your going to school us with GP History101 you should do it properly.
