How long have you been following motogp?

Given how much changes in motogp over the years it’s really an interesting question.

For example, I started watching steadily in 2002, the year they went from 500cc 2 stroke to 990cc 4 stroke. I later went back and watched some 2 stroke races for obvious reasons. In 2005 I was fortunate enough to make it to see the Jerez gp in person. I was seated in the right spot to see Gibernau and Rossi collide in the last turn of the last lap. Little did I know then, that was also the first time we saw the infamous doctor’s leg dangle.

The amount of riders that have come and gone, the impressive diversity of riding styles, and the progression of riders careers is pretty mind blowing when you look back.
