1985 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season

Sports season 1985 F.I.M. Grand Prix motorcycle racing season 1984 1986 The 1985 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season was the 37th F.I.M. Road Racing World Championship season. Season summary Honda's Freddie Spencer gave a dominating performance becoming the first man to win the 250 and 500 championships in the same year. Defending champion Eddie Lawson finished in second with former 250 world champion, Christian Sarron coming in third. Sarron's victory at the German Grand Prix would mark the first 500cc Grand Prix victory for a non-American rider since the 1982 Swedish Grand Prix. Australian Wayne Gardner showed promise with a fourth-place finish for Honda. With perennial champion Angel Nieto moving to the 80cc class, the 125 class was left open for his Garelli teammate, Fausto Gresini to clinch the title, giving the Italian team its fourth consecutive championship. Swiss Stefan Dörflinger would take his fourth consecutive title in the 80cc class. Angel Nieto won his 90th and final Grand Prix victory in the 80cc round in France, at the time second only to Giacomo Agostini, but since surpassed by Valentino Rossi.Results and Statistics MotoGP.com http://www.motogp.com/en/riders/Angel+Nieto 2010-05-14 2017-05-12 https://web.archive.org/web/20170512074553/http://www.motogp.com/en/riders/Angel+Nieto dead 1985 Grand Prix season calendar The following Grands Prix were scheduled to take place in 1985: RoundDateGrand PrixCircuit 1 23 March †† South Africa 1928 National Panasonic Motorcycle Grand Prix Kyalami 2 5 May Spain Gran Premio de España Circuito Permanente Del Jarama 3 19 May Germany Großer Preis von Deutschland Hockenheimring 4 26 May Italy Gran Premio delle Nazioni Mugello 5 2 June Austria Großer Preis von Österreich Salzburgring 6 16 June Yugoslavia Yugoslavian Grand Prix Automotodrom Rijeka 7 29 June †† Netherlands Dutch TT Assen TT Circuit Assen 8 7 July Belgium Johnson GP of Belgium Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps 9 21 July France Grand Prix de France Bugatti Circuit 10 4 August UK Marlboro British Grand Prix Silverstone Circuit 11 10 August Sweden Swedish TT Scandinavian Raceway 12 1 September San Marino 1862 Grand Prix San Marino Circuito Internazionale Santa MonicaSources:http://www.jumpingjack.nl/GP-races_1985_heden.htm https://archive.today/20150725161036/http://www.jumpingjack.nl/GP-races_1985_heden.htm dead Grand Prix uitslagen en bijzonderheden 1985 25 July 2015 25 July 2015 †† = Saturday race Calendar changes The Nations Grand Prix was moved back, from 15 April to 26 May and it was moved from the Circuito Internazionale Santa Monica to the Mugello Circuit, while the San Marino Grand Prix moved from the Mugello Circuit to the Circuito Internazionale Santa Monica.
