so let me get this straight
in 1996 he started his career in 9th place. then the next year he was 1st so he went up a category where he was runner up, then won it the following year, then he went up another category, got runner up, then won it again the following year, then jumped to MotoGP and has won it for the past 4 years straight?
very interesting career... thankyou for clearing that up for me! can i ask, who beat him those two years?
