Road Racing World Championship season. Season summary Honda's Mick Doohan continued his domination of the 500 class with eight victories.Dennis Noyes 1999 Michael Scott Motocourse: 50 Years Of Moto Grand Prix Hazleton Publishing Ltd 1-874557-83-7 His Repsol Honda teammate, Àlex Crivillé beat him to the line twice in Austria and the Czech Republic. Luca Cadalora, now with the Kanemoto Honda team took two wins for the fourth consecutive year. Suzuki's hopes were dashed when Daryl Beattie suffered head injuries in a pre-season crash. He returned only to crash in Spain then two races later in France which effectively ended his career. Loris Capirossi won his first 500 Grand Prix when Crivillé collided with his teammate, Doohan on the last lap of the Australian round. A new European team made its debut with the Elf team using a Swissauto V4 sidecar engine in an ROC chassis. It proved to be fast but unreliable. Honda introduced the NSR500V, a V twin as a cost-effective alternative for privateer teams. Max Biaggi claimed his third consecutive 250 championship for Aprilia. Haruchika Aoki repeated as the 125 champion for Honda. Newcomers winning their first Grands Prix were Norifumi Abe in the 500 class, Olivier Jacque in the 250 class and Valentino Rossi in the 125 class. 1996 Grand Prix season calendar The following Grands Prix were scheduled to take place in 1996:http://www.jumpingjack.nl/GP-races_1996_heden.htm https://archive.today/20150725155441/http://www.jumpingjack.nl/GP-races_1996_heden.htm dead Grand Prix uitslagen en bijzonderheden 1996 25 July 2015 25 July 2015http://www.motogp.com/en/Results+Statistics/1996 motogp.com · 500cc World Standing 1996 www.motogp.com 2010-06-08 2008-08-20 https://web.archive.org/web/20080820134829/http://www.motogp.com/en/Results+Statistics/1996 dead RoundDateGrand PrixCircuit 1 31 March MYS Marlboro Grand Prix of Malaysia Shah Alam Circuit 2 7 April IDN Marlboro Indonesian Grand Prix Sentul International Circuit 3 21 April JPN Marlboro Grand Prix of Japan Suzuka Circuit 4 12 May ESP Gran Premio Lucky Strike de España Circuito Permanente de Jerez 5 26 May ITA Gran Premio d'Italia Polini Mugello Circuit 6 9 June FRA Grand Prix de France Circuit Paul Ricard 7 29 June †† NLD Lucky Strike Dutch Grand Prix TT Circuit Assen 8 7 July DEU Warsteiner Grand Prix Deutschland Nürburgring 9 21 July GBR British Grand Prix Donington Park 10 4 August AUT HB Motorrad Grand Prix Austria A1-Ring 11 18 August CZE Grand Prix České republiky Brno Circuit 12 1 September Bologna Gran Premio IP Città di Imola Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari 13 15 September Catalonia Gran Premi Marlboro de Catalunya Circuit de Catalunya 14 6 October Rio de Janeiro GP Rio Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet 15 20 October AUS Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix Eastern Creek †† = Saturday race Calendar changes The French Grand Prix moved from the Bugatti Circuit in Le Mans to the Circuit Paul Ricard due to overbid in Le Mans, the Bugatti Circuit returned in 2000.
