It took place on the weekend of 23–25 March 1990 at the Suzuka Circuit. 500 cc race report Wayne Rainey's pole of 2:09.589 is the first sub-2:10 lap at Suzuka. Rainey gets the start of the new 4-column grid, followed by Mick Doohan, Eddie Lawson and the field. Rainey goes through the chicane with a sub-second gap, followed by Lawson, Doohan, Kevin Schwantz and Wayne Gardner. Rainey is opening a gap, but Schwantz moves into second and leads the chase.

Unfortunately, he's inside ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
