		Doohan has become the elder statesman of the class, one of the few who participated, as an equal, in the epic Eddie Lawson, Wayne Rainey, Kevin Schwantz, and Wayne Gardner battles at the start of the decade.
		This is intensified by the fact that Doohan's contract with Honda expires at the end of this season.

		Mick Doohan was at the front more times than not, and in Part II of The Race Craft, he explained to Moto1 some of the finer points of riding.
		Doohan describes braking deep into the corner, a trait top racers adopt in order to maximize the preceding straight before getting the bike slowed and then beginning their drive out.
		Doohan, who started competitive racing in mini-bike events in Brisbane in the early 1970s, said that while he was disappointed injuries had forced him to retire, he was satisfied with his achievements.

		Doohan says his style is aggressive but he always aims to "bring the bike home." He says crashes are part of riding a bike at the human and technological limits.
		Doohan does not believe he has more spills than most top riders, but frequently he has found himself sliding over the tarmac with friction chewing at his one-piece leather suit, and then the high-density-foam pads and spine guard under it.
		Doohan is also busy lobbying for a rule change he says will make 500-cc racing still more exciting: lowering the 130-kg minimum weight of the bike.

		Australian Grand Prix Corporation chief executive John Harnden said the invitation to Doohan to wave the flag at the first Formula One Grand Prix of the new millennium was "in acknowledgement of his fantastic achievements and what he has done for Australian motor sport".
		"Mick was the ultimate competitor on the world stage for a decade, with probably his greatest moment coming when he won the Qantas Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix at Phillip Island in 1998 - and clinched his fifth straight world title in doing it," Mr Harnden said.
		Doohan announced his retirement from racing last December after having been sidelined since May by a crash during qualifying for the Spanish Motorcycle Grand Prix.

	Field gets to play while Mick's away - Drive.com.au
		Doohan is likely to miss up to six races while he recovers from the injuries suffered during practice for the Spanish Grand Prix, but Criville's chances will be tested by the increasingly competitive Suzuki and Yamaha top guns who also see a window of opportunity in Doohan's absence.
		Doohan has had surgery in California on his broken wrist, leg and collarbone but is not expected to be fit to race again until July or August - well in time for this year's Qantas Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island on October 3.
		Criville was runner-up to Doohan in the 500cc championship in 1996 and was third last year behind Doohan and 500cc rookie Max Biaggi of Italy.

		It was in between these visits that Mick visited GPs as a spectator, watching from the back of the pits as Spanish team-mate Alex Criville not only inherited the master's machines but the championship that had been his preserve for the past five years.
		Doohan was getting concerned: 'Things were getting bad and one of the doctors said that there was a chance that they would have to amputate the leg.' Back in Italy, the dying right leg was dragged back from the brink, sustained by its left counterpart.
		Doohan slowly regained some movement in the leg but it was still far from up to the tortuous job of man-handling a 190bhp NSR round a track.

	Mick Doohan
		Born on June 4th, 1965, in Gold Coast, near Brisbane, Mick Doohan became the rider whose domination of the 500cc class can be considered somewhat similar to Valentino Rossi's domination of the GP class nowadays.
		For us viewers, especially the young, he acquired somewhat of a status of superhero as more often than not he seemed to be riding on a bike endowed with magic or some type of extraterestrial technology no one else could catch up with.
		All of this being said, bottom line is there's nothing better to prove Mick Doohan's status as a top name of the World Motorcycling Championship's hall of fame, than the fact that concerning the number of championships won, he's third only to Valentino Rossi and Giacomo Agostini.

	rpm.espn.com: Rossi to race with Yamaha in 2004
		LONDON -- Five-time world 500cc champion Mick Doohan believes Valentino Rossi will soon be winning MotoGP races with Yamaha, just as he has with dominant Honda over the past four years.
		There has been speculation that his deal with Yamaha could be worth around $10 million a year and Doohan, 38, suggested the move may also have something to do with the set-up of the team.
		Doohan, who won his five titles from 1994 to 1998 with Honda, was also linked with a move to Yamaha several times during his period of domination.

		But Doohan doesn't agree with those that say Rossi's awesome domination, first with Honda and now Yamaha, is bad for the sport.
		Doohan, who claimed all his titles with Honda, also disagreed with the current rumours about Rossi leaving the sport for Formula One or the World Rallying Championship.

	Mick Doohan Thunder From Down Under - webBikeWorld
		Oxley's tome on Mick Doohan is a good example.
		And in the end, we really don't know Mick, we get very little on the horrendous accident that changed his life, and the impression we're left with is of a beer-drinking Aussie party animal who doesn't like to talk to the press.
		Although the photos are very good, this book has rather soured me on motorcycle racer biographies - at least the quickies that are authored by print journalists who should be sticking to reporting the facts and not chasing a fast quid with a publisher (Haynes) who should focus on its shop manuals.
