We've picked out four unforgettable battles for you to choose from!
Estoril - 2006
With a Championship title on the line for Yamaha’s Valentino Rossi and Honda’s Nicky Hayden, the penultimate race of the 2006 season was a true classic. Dani Pedrosa took out teammate Hayden in dramatic fashion with Rossi leading the race, only for Kenny Roberts Jr and the satellite Honda of Toni Elias to catch Rossi and Colin Edwards to produce a stunning four-rider battle, in which Elias incredibly beat Rossi to the line by 0.002 seconds.
Phillip Island – 2015
Another race that had huge implications was the 2015 Australian Grand Prix, with Yamaha’s Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi locked in a Championship battle. Ducati’s Andrea Iannone and Honda’s Marc Marquez joined the two in a four-way battle on the Island, with the aftermath sending shockwaves through the paddock...
Phillip Island – 2017
Yet more incredible racing on the Island, this time two years later. Again, another Championship battle was raging but this time it was between Marquez and Andrea Dovizioso. Dovi would eventually cross the line in P13 after a costly mistake at Turn 1, with Marquez winning an epic seven rider scrap for the victory.
Assen – 2018
Eight riders, five race leaders, 100+ overtakes and another incredible save. The 2018 Dutch GP had it all, but will this get your vote for the greatest race ahead of the others?
