Two-times world champion Thorpe was determined to make up for the disappointment of 1987, when injury prevented him defending his crown.

As so often happens, Thorpe quickly discovered he had a fight on his hands - his closest rival was also his Honda teammate Geboers. 

The determined Belgian was bidding to become the first man in history to win world championships in 125cc, 250cc and 500cc competition.

It makes for a tense and exciting season - especially when you consider how many other talented riders were also plying their trade at the same time.
