When Mick
Doohan crossed
the finish line in
Montmelo, Spain,
he and Honda
made history.
Not only had he
clinched the series, but it
was the first time that a 500cc
World Grand Prix rider had won
12 races in a single season. Doohan
reached this milestone near the end of
a series that he dominated from the start.
It was an impressive series for Honda too.
Because when all the po ints were added up,
Honda riders had taken the top five positions. Mick
Doohan and Honda -the 1997 500 World GP Champions.
