In my recent post I claimed that Casey Stoner was still in race to win the record of youngest rider winning a MotoGP race. Well, unfortunately I was wrong because as reported by motogp.com last Sunday Stoner had exactly the same age of Spencer (20 years and 196 days) at his first victory at the GP in Belgium at the Spa Francorchamps circuit. I didn’t check the motogp.com calculations but I am positive that they made a mistake with the year. They indicate 1992 but the correct date is July 4th, 1982. The following year, 1983, Freddie Spencer became the youngest World Grand Prix Champion in history.
