My personal view
So there I was, back in 1991, at the Shah Alam circuit, witnessing one of the most exhilarating races of my life. John Kocinski, an American motorcyclist with a fiery spirit, took to the track and immediately captivated the crowd. With his bold riding style and unmatched skill, he dominated the competition from start to finish. Despite facing fierce competitors like Wayne Rainey and Kevin Schwantz, Kocinski fearlessly pushed his machine to its limits, showcasing incredible speed and agility. It was truly awe-inspiring to see him navigate through those hairpin turns with such precision and finesse. And when he finally crossed that finish line in first place, the roar of the crowd echoed throughout the circuit. That day, Kocinski proved that he was not just another rider; he was a force to be reckoned with in the world of motorcycle racing.
