Grand Prix motorcycle racing season Grand Prix motorcycle racing season 1987 1987 World Champions500cc – Wayne Gardner (Honda)250cc – Anton Mang (Honda)125cc – Fausto Gresini (Garelli)80cc – Jorge Martínez (Derbi) The 1987 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season was the 39th F.I.M. Road Racing World Championship season. Season summary Wayne Gardner became Australia's first-ever 500cc World Champion in a season that saw him score points in every Grand Prix.Dennis Noyes 1999 Michael Scott Motocourse: 50 Years Of Moto Grand Prix Hazleton Publishing Ltd 1-874557-83-7 Randy Mamola would finish second yet again, one point ahead of Eddie Lawson despite Lawson's five victories. The first Japanese Grand Prix in 20 years was held at the Suzuka Circuit. Along with rounds in Brazil and Argentina, the championship was becoming a real world championship. Venezuelan Carlos Lavado's defense of his 250 crown was spoiled by injuries sustained in a pre-season crash. Anton Mang stepped up to claim his fifth world championship ahead of four other Hondas. A new brand would announce its arrival in the 250 class when an Aprilia ridden by Loris Reggiani won the San Marino Grand Prix. Garelli's Fausto Gresini won ten out of eleven races in the 125 class, but ruined his bid for a perfect season when he crashed at the last round in Jarama.http://www.motogp.com/en/riders/Fausto+Gresini Fausto Gresini career statistics motogp.com 7 May 2014 7 June 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20190607190057/http://www.motogp.com/en/riders/Fausto+Gresini dead Spain's Jorge Martinez won the 80cc crown for the second consecutive year.http://www.motogp.com/en/riders/Jorge+Martinez Jorge Martinez career statistics motogp.com 7 May 2014 19 July 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130719183434/http://www.motogp.com/en/riders/Jorge+Martinez dead The Portuguese round was held in Jarama, Spain because the Portuguese Federation had transferred their rights to the Jarama organisers. 1987 would be the first year that saw clutch starts replace push starts on the grounds of safety. The FIM also announced that the 80cc class would be discontinued after 1989 and that the 125 class would be restricted to single cylinder machines. The last round was in Argentina, which had not hosted a motorcycle Grand Prix since 1982. But appalling organization of the event saw the race nearly boycotted by the riders and their teams, and the race turned out to be a farcical embarrassment for the organizers. The safety of the Autódromo Municipal del Parque Almirante Brown de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires was totally unsuitable for racing; the organization of this Grand Prix was so bad that spectators had easy access to the circuit while the races were going on. The Argentine Grand Prix did not return until 1994.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRpZE6KMG6w https://web.archive.org/web/20140301132355/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRpZE6KMG6w 2014-03-01 dead YouTube www.youtube.com 1987 Grand Prix season calendar The following Grands Prix were scheduled to take place in 1987: RoundDateGrand PrixCircuit 1 29 March Japan 1870 Grand Prix of Japan Suzuka Circuit 2 26 April Spain Marlboro Gran Premio de España Circuito Permanente de Jerez 3 17 May Germany Großer Preis von Deutschland Hockenheimring 4 24 May Italy Gran Premio delle Nazioni Autodromo Nazionale Monza 5 7 June Austria Großer Preis von Österreich Salzburgring 6 14 June Yugoslavia Yu Grand Prix Automotodrom Rijeka 7 27 June Netherlands Dutch TT TT Circuit Assen 8 19 July France Grand Prix de France Bugatti Circuit 9 2 August UK Shell Oils British Motorcycle Grand Prix Donington Park 10 9 August Sweden Swedish TT Scandinavian Raceway 11 23 August Czechoslovakia Grand Prix ČSSR-Brno Brno Circuit 12 30 August San Marino 1862 Grand Prix San Marino Circuito Internazionale Santa Monica 13 13 September Portugal Gran Premio Marlboro de Portugal Circuito Permanente Del Jarama 14 27 September Brazil 1968 GP Brasil Autódromo Internacional de Goiânia 15 4 October Argentina Gran Prix da la República Argentina Autódromo Oscar Alfredo GálvezSources:http://www.jumpingjack.nl/GP-races_1987_heden.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20090901054302/http://www.jumpingjack.nl/GP-races_1987_heden.htm dead 2009-09-01 Grand Prix uitslagen en bijzonderheden 1987 Jumping Jack 2018-06-13 Calendar changes The Japanese Grand Prix was added to the calendar after a 20-year absence.
