Leading from start to finish
How many races have there been in WSBK and MotoGP recently in which the winner lead for the entire distance? The only recent 2 I can think of are both from WSBK:
Neil Hodgson in Race 2 at Valencia James Toseland in Race 2 at Oschersleben Were there any other ones? |

Toseland didn't lead the entire way. Neil passed him and he re-passed Neil, damaging Hodgson's clutch lever.

Okay, who has lead the entire distance, including starting from pole position? Hodgson in Race 2 at Valencia this year is the only one I can think of. Guess that sums up how good bike racing is - I can only think of one lights to flag victory from pole position! F1 has loads of those, especially last year like Barcelona and Hungaroring.

I can't think of many. Rossi isn't one to simply clear off into the distance, while when Mick was at the height of his powers he was still locked into some good tussles.
Last time I can think of lights-to-flag is Kenny Roberts at Motegi in 1999 I think.... |
