Kevin Schwantz Tribute
Kevin Schwantz was one of the most spectacular
riders from the 'golden era' of GP racing
(1988-1993). Had it not been for bad luck,
inhuries and the genius, Wayne Rainey, he
would undoubtedly have won more than one
world ttle. His style was wild and he often
road to the limit. In 1994 Schwantz sustained
an injury while mountain biking, followed
by a big crash at Donington, left his in
a poor state to defend his world title,
but still finished fourth. He crashed again
at 1995 at Philip Island and he decided
to retire, since then he has established
his own riding school and driven in the
Nascar Championship.
