Road Racing World Championship season. Season summary A fourth world championship in a row for Honda's Mick Doohan with another dominating performance. He broke Giacomo Agostini's record set in 1972 for the most victories in one season with 12 wins.Dennis Noyes 1999 Michael Scott Motocourse: 50 Years Of Moto Grand Prix Hazleton Publishing Ltd 1-874557-83-7 It was also dominating year for Honda with eight of the top ten riders aboard Hondas. The Yamaha and Suzuki teams were in disarray. Kenny Roberts left Yamaha to start his own venture with a lightweight, three-cylinder Modenas. Wayne Rainey's team was left with the inconsistent Norifumi Abe and Sete Gibernau, a rookie. Daryl Beattie wasn't able to come back from head injuries and retired at the end of the year while Anthony Gobert failed a drug test and was dismissed by the Suzuki team. The Elf team soldiered on with their Swiss-Auto V4 but Aprilia decided to pull their V twin from the 500 class at the end of the year. Max Biaggi had a harder time defending his title from Tetsuya Harada and Ralf Waldmann, not clinching the title until the last race of the year. A new star emerged from the 125 class with Valentino Rossi winning 11 races for a commanding win on an Aprilia. As of 2025 it was the last season that only one manufacturer won every race in one season in the premier class to date. 1997 Grand Prix season calendar The following Grands Prix were scheduled to take place in 1997:http://www.jumpingjack.nl/GP-races_1997_heden.htm https://archive.today/20150725154624/http://www.jumpingjack.nl/GP-races_1997_heden.htm dead Grand Prix uitslagen en bijzonderheden 1997 25 July 2015 25 July 2015http://www.motogp.com/en/Results+Statistics/1997 motogp.com · 500cc World Standing 1997 www.motogp.com 2010-06-08 2008-09-06 https://web.archive.org/web/20080906194735/http://www.motogp.com/en/Results+Statistics/1997 dead Round Date Grand Prix Circuit 1 13 April MYS Marlboro Malaysian Grand Prix Shah Alam Circuit 2 20 April JPN Marlboro Grand Prix of Japan Suzuka Circuit 3 4 May ESP Gran Premio Lucky Strike de España Circuito Permanente de Jerez 4 18 May ITA Gran Premio d'Italia Polini Mugello Circuit 5 1 June AUT Motorrad Grand Prix von Österreich A1-Ring 6 8 June FRA Grand Prix de France Circuit Paul Ricard 7 28 June †† NLD Lucky Strike Dutch Grand Prix TT Circuit Assen 8 6 July Bologna Gran Premio Cirio Città di Imola Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari 9 20 July DEU ADAC Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland Nürburgring 10 3 August Rio de Janeiro Lucky Strike Rio Grand Prix Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet 11 17 August GBR Sun British Grand Prix Donington Park 12 31 August CZE Grand Prix České republiky Brno Circuit 13 14 September CAT Gran Premi Marlboro de Catalunya Circuit de Catalunya 14 28 September IDN Marlboro Indonesian Grand Prix Sentul International Circuit 15 5 October AUS Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix Phillip Island †† = Saturday race Calendar changes The Malaysian Grand Prix replaced the Japanese Grand Prix with hosting the opening round Grand Prix.
