On Sunday afternoon, the BMW M Grand Prix of Styria will host a magnificent milestone in motorcycle Grand Prix racing: the 900th premier class race. These five multiple World Champions have around 35% of the 899 premier class wins between them – five of the sport’s greats. In terms of premier class podiums, a total of 269 different riders have sprayed the bubbly. Again, Rossi holds the most rostrum finishes in the premier class with 199. The premier class winners – so far – have come from 19 different nations. And, after Dovizioso’s third Austrian GP win, Ducati moved onto 50 premier class wins. Can the 41-year-old seal his 200th premier class podium in the 900th race?. If 2020 is anything to go by, the 900th premier class race is going to be something very special.
