I was asked after the Portuguese GP if any racers have finished their career with only the 1 500/MotoGP class win. All I've come up with so far (without looking anything up) is Simon Crafar in Britain '97, Regis Laconi at Valencia '99 and Alberto Puig possibly, though I'm not so sure about him. Havn't watched my old early 90's vids in a while :lol:

So, any contributions? Did look for a list briefly but that's kinda cheating so I gave up. I'm thinking Doug Chandler maybe as well..

And yay I have the internet back in my house.

I have to admit, I wouldn't recognise most of the names there with just 1 win. It's interesting that far fewer modern era riders seem to end their careers with just the single win.

K, I gave up and looked at the list..

and dammit I should've gotten Ukawa, especially that was such a good race in which he won. Again though, very few people I've heard of when you look through the full list of 1's.
