500cc 1991 Assen Final Lap

- This is the final lap the 1991 500cc Dutch Grand Prix held at Assen. In a two-part race, Schwantz held a narrow gap over Rainey on aggregate, but with Rainey holding a small gap on track it was actually very close! It was a real pressure contest between the two, with an unlikely victor.
Commentary from the wonderful Keith Huewen and Julian Ryder.
Thanks to DennisF1 for transferring this one to DVD - Sport
I love the camera angles that show the terrain better than modern days, all helicopters and towers which make it all look flat - this gives a sense of the geography
What Kevin could do with the Suzuki is astonishing…My all time favourite.
The two of them really provided us with such awesome moments during that year.We had Assen, Donington and Hockenheim, all of which were nail-biting finishes. Tremendous!!!
Le Mans too
There is no boxing match worth watching without 2 great competitors. Rainey and Schwantz brought it.. and we all benefitted.
Suzuka
Greatest era of MotoGP. May the Schwantz be with you.
Rare and not needed mistake by Rainey. Two greats of the sport
Fantastic racing Schwartz was completely fearless and Rainey knew it
god i miss this version of assen! what an amazing track!
The BEST ever
Yes. Removing the North Loop ruined it.
Fantastic video. The great days of real GP racing.. 👍🇮🇪🍀
The very best years of our lives
When moto GP was at its best..500s rule💚
Days of Thunder Pantera!
@VeteranCape Yamaha Honda Suzuki Gagiva 500s👌
WGP : Schwantz, Rainey, Doohan
F1: Senna, Prost, Schumacher
Group B, Group C
greatest era of motorsport
Real MotoGP two stroke were the days.
Yawn...its much more exciting and faster now...typical moan
They were the most unpredictable, had the most raw power, and took the most talent to ride. And if it was wet or raining forget about it.
That would be suicide.
@@pummyy NOT!!!
LAME AS SHIT THESE DAYS
@@frankburdodrums8984both times have its pros and cons...but today has 2 things: there are more good pilots (only 5 in 1991)...and bikes are way faster (7"), and lean much more.
Of course, we dont have Wayne(x2), Eddie, Kevin or Mick....but we have 93#
@@pabloperez4063 What a JOKE.
You were doing so well until you compared #93 to the greats.
He's washed up. So many better than him for years.
Man Schwantz was unreal.
この頃のGPが、一番楽しいです
that goes to show in racing NEVER GIVE UP amazing racing
Never gets old ...... fantastic racing ....A most glorious win .
2 of the absolute all time greats.
Coming in 1st was all either one ever cared about but regardless the were both Champions of Moto GP
I remember Rainey's quote after this race like it was yesterday, he said "you can't give em away any better than that"😢😢😢
He got owned if Kevin wasn't on his ass he wouldn't have fkd up like that.
@@EmperorNerox Kevin was no way near in attacking zone, I would call that on his ass.
vraiment pas de change pour W. Rainey ! victoire méritée pour K. Schwanzt. 2 grands pilotes !
Lucha antológica entre dos grandes en la historia del motociclismo. También añoro el circuito de Assen con sus casi siete kilómetros de puro espectáculo.
Massive Revvin Kevin fan here but, that was troll level > 9000 from the #34 lol
Rainey had just pinned what was perhaps the perfect lap, maybe the best lap ever ridden on a 500 on the real Assen, and just one tenth of a second late on the anchors.
Just shows how pinned #34 was tho, aced the brakes, avoided a collision when Rainey got back onto the track after mowing the grass on the exit, and snatched it away.
So, bring back 500s!
An age old racing saying: "they count the winners at the end"....
I watched those 2 race at Road Atlanta in 87.They raced each other for a lot of years.Great racers!
Enjoyed the way they competed against each other superbikes and gp. It sometime looked as if they didn't like each other.
Remember the Fabulous Thunderbirds playing in infield?
@@waynegacyii9010J.Vaughan,s band?
I had a pulse, went to tears and a smile like a child. it's great! and this is a wonderful Gixer!
It's not a gsxr
Gsxr's are across the frame 4 strokes .
These are 4 square 2 strokes .
"suzuki" written on them is about the only thing they've got in common.
Assen never disappoints.
Never
absolutely real racing from real men riding real bikes !! awesome and happy days when watching the 500cc grand prix on TV was compulsive viewing !!
あったあった！！アッセンのこのシーンは当時観てたなぁ。最後まで優勝をあきらめないシュワンツさんの執念。そして全く表彰台だろうが2位以下では満足しない貪欲さにシビレたし、プレッシャーをかけ続けて当時抜群の安定感だったレイニーさんのミスを最終ラップで誘うという奇跡を観てなんだか涙が出て来たのを思い出すね。
Definitely the best era of racing, 500 2 strokes,
流石、シュワンツ最終コーナーで逆転勝利! 魅せますねぇ。。。
If you time it from 3 corners to the finish of the penultimate lap to the same place in the last lap Wayne's lap would have been a 2:01,9 - half a second faster than Schwantz's lap record that wasn't beaten until the circuit was modified. Just to get an idea of how hard they were riding that final lap!
But, of course, first you have to finish such a lap to get the record. God, how I miss those times and the Schwantz-Rainey battles!
you are quite right....a pity Wayne had this mistake....it would have been SUCH an amazing record...
This is the original Grand Prix sound!
tinnitus in the left ear too?
Turn on captions and go to 1:48
aaah brilliant dude. How the hell did you spot that?
I hope the ladies got the jizz too!
やっちまったなぁ
What are ye on about here lads?
L O L
I find these old motogp racing fascinating than the current crop of motogp. I guess I'm curious how in the world they rode those beasts with no rider's aid.
Bohica Pure guts 'n skill....not to take anything away from today's guys...
I sometimes think ABOUT it.
.and I am sure the top 5 of todays would be ABLE TO manage the 500 poroficiently...but It mere especulation
Fantastic video thanks
one of epic finish of all time
Schwantz was living rent free in Wayne’s head on that last lap
Beautiful riding at a beautiful circuit - magnificant
They raced like their lives depended on it. Real racing,
Also today, in the 3 classes, all of them are lunátic
What a day that was.
34!
What a race...
I really mis them screaming two strokes
one word AWESOME
kevin forced him to push it over the limit...amazing race
klesar.hr thats racing at that level. Damn that is part of what makes it is what it is. This one is used for education worldwide. Amazing bit of racing from two greats.
Semplicemente fantastico !!!
2 strokes are the way to go
They produce luxury noise
crazy - leading every lap but the one that counted- you probably wouldn't want to be back in the Marlboro garage after that one -
...I remember watching this race live...the phrase 'anything can happen' was coined on that day...
Always wanted to see what its like to ride one of those 5cc 2 strokes. They look like monsters.
I had a Yamaha RD350 two stroke. It was as fast as a modern 600cc four stroke and a blast at the racetrack.
The golden age of motogp, nice to hear the screaming two stroke engines again.
This old Assen was such a beast track... I always loved the "arena" part from Haatbocht to Strubben... And it's not even original :D
Awesome finish.
What amazing colours and sponsor ... both bikes!!
Colours yeah, sponsor.... Eh
Im sure it’s not just nostalgia - the racing WAS better back then. These beast bikes looked so lairy to ride and while today’s riders are no doubt just as skilful there isn’t the same feeling that they are riding at the absolute limit of control and it could all go tits up at any moment. Two strokes were awesome.
Love the strokers
Looks lot of fun
THE BEST MACHINE
Kevin Schwantz ❤
2:52 ooh those jackets. What a lap that was
@jimcarrey14
Correction. Old Assen was a great circuit.
Those bikes were brutal machines. I still ride my RG500
Never surrender!
I was at that race 🤩😃👍🏻
I at Jarama , 2 weeks before
U can almost smell them. Glorious 2 strokes
Schwantz was legend
kewin y wayne , dos grandes
DOS MUY BUENOS PILOTOS , GRANDES
The old layout was really better than the new one
Best driver ever
Can't get enough og that... Still
Pure balls riding then. No fly by wire like today.
Assen always produce some spectacular accident in those days, i remembered a carnage in the 125cc where a rider got his by a bike and flipped but i cant find the video
ks34 avoid the touch but still open the gass ,, epic !
1ヒートでのギャップを埋めるためレイニーも必死だったけど最後にやらかしてしまった。ホッケンハイムの悪夢が再び？この2人でなければここまで記憶に残るレースにはならなかったと思う。
Que bonito era assen. Público a tope. Y que careto, tenía rayne en el podium. dos genios
si estos pilotazos cojen las motogp actuales dejarian unos records eternos
Es especular.... igual si, igual no
あのバトルでのガッツポーズゴールは最高♪
@EJ25RUN exactly....they killed it.!! RIP old Assen.!!
Assen still rules
Nobody better yhan Kevin at applying the pressure to force someone into a mistake - And ESPECIALLY Rainey - uncharacteristic for someone with so much experience- that one probably stung for a while
probably had scwantz in the back of his mind at the end to thinking about how he might be right behind him doing something desperate to win and lost focus or something he did that corner in the other laps
EPIC BATTLE IN THE FINAL CORNER ASSEN
Ukawa Vs Checa - Assen 2002
Edwards Vs Hayden - Assen 2006
Rossi Vs Marquez - Assen 2015
Anyting else?
Sito Pons vs Sarron 250 CC 1988
And even though there was no Battle un ThE chicsne, WE must aLWAYS have un mind ThE amazing MOTO GP 2018 race....My God!
It is really a lucky strike at all , however he plays his very best till last corner so he deserves to win the game .
👍👍👍👏👏👏💪💪💪
Man he choked at the end
was there that day
jus shows to go---never give up
Cuando las motos eran motos sin ningún tipo de electrónica hay se veia estos pilotos inolvidables fenómenos
Schwantz 34 the legend puts his hand up before he crosses the finish line., Humiliating Rainey ahahaha
Damn. i forgot that one. Kevin put a bit of pressure back on mr Cool
Che spettacolo!!!
When you've just remembered you made a million dollar bet that you would come second!
Full Race please!?
I cant support this comment more. Please give us all of these old races.
Kevin Scwhantz 😎👍
Wow!
I love Shwantzs if he would’ve rode for Honda or Yamaha he would be a household name !!!!
Amazing pilots......
Indeed
Amazing.
Suzuki kevin schwants vs Yamaha wayne rainey 👍
The winer is Suzuki 👍👍
A esperança é a última que morre
Veri good job duk
In an age when "former" champions were flushed. We keep pulling the chain and he just won't go.
I remember this race as a Schwantz fan.
Crazy mistake by Rainey, definitely unusuale.
Old Assen TT was probably the best track for bikes (but definitely too dangerous)...
Went to this race on my trusty steed RG500 CH (1989) Pepsi-Suzuki "Kevin
Schwantz" GP Race Replica. Fabulous Bike. Got huge crowds whenever parked up as banned in Europe (Emissions I ask you 600 miles per litre of Castrol 'R' - Vegetable Oil !!!!! - I envied those behind me as the smell was to die for !
Regards Ron & Kevin (Grahame W UK)
Burned off perhaps ¾ of a litre there and back, so I suppose I am to blame for 'Global Warming' and not the millions of Diesel Lorries, Trains, Ships etc.
Note only 6,276 RG500's built and of those hugely improved CH Model, mine was no 873 - then they threw away the mould, as banned everywhere US/Canada/Japan and World Wide market sales collapsed. I Blame interference from idiotic 'Politicians' who know absolutely F' All. Get real we are in the middle of an Ice Age, 12,000 years ago where I live was under a mile thick Ice sheet - what would you sooner have ?
12,000 years time probably only under ¾ of a mile Ice Sheet, so I told you, but did you listen !!!!
You alone are responsible for global warming!😂
Around that time, Senator John Danforth was keen in destroying Superbikes in the US.
Bloody hell...
