One of Australia's greatest to ever sit atop a motorcycle Mick Doohan. Mick won five consecutive World Championship titles from 1994 to 1998, winning 54 Grand Prix across his career including a record 12 in the 1997 season. One of Mick's secrets to success is harnessing his passion, and using that to put himself in moments of risk and doubt, knowing it would be the driving force to propel him forward.  It didn't always come off for Doohan, which led to countless and continued learnings from mistakes, but without the burning desire, he never would have climbed on the back of a motorcycle to begin with. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
