I was just reading about Hannah’s MXGP adventure. Apparently, he went to Europe for one GP to help his claim that he should be on the 1987 MXDN team. According to Racer X article, he went 5-1 for 2nd o/a. Great Moto history. By the way, I did find a video:

Hannah is a legend. The first ever MXA issue that my parents bought for me had him on the cover. I wore this issue out, and for some reason decided David Bailey was my hero. Great video.

Look at that crowd! The 70's and 80's were unreal fan participation all over the track.

That French result was at the tail of his career, almost 10 years after his prime.
He was a beast on a bike.

Micky Diamond raced a 125 gp in 87 also. He won both motos by a minute. Micky could ride circles around Bob in 87. Biggest screw job in mxdn history.

True facts…. But how would have Diamond handled the Unadilla mud?

If Dymond rides the MX des Nations that day - team USA most likely does not win. The right man was on the bike.
