Description

Over 50,000 fans basked in French sunshine at Paul Ricard but only one man would bask in glory after a fascinating Grand Prix. Wayne Rainey (Marlboro Yamaha) Michael Doohan and Wayne Gardner (Rothmans Honda) Kevin Schwantz (Lucky Strike Suzuki) and Eddie Lawson (Cagiva) were all going flat out in an attempt to improve their 1991 World Championship chances. The 250 GP provided the day's biggest upset as Luca Cadalora (Rothmans Honda) and Helmut Bradl (Honda) resumed battle in their pulsating world-championship chase. Loris Reggiani and Pier-Francesco Chili on their revolutionary Aprilias were out to upstage Honda's domination... This is the best two-wheel action on video money can buy!
