He then departed for Europe as Suzuki promoted him to its 500cc Grand Prix team where he made an immediate impact by winning the first Grand Prix he entered as a full time Grand Prix rider at the opening round in Suzuka, Japan (it was only his seventh Grand Prix ride in total, as he'd had wild card rides in 1986 on the old square four RG500 & 1987 on the first version of the V4 RGV500). For the next six years, the two would continue their intense rivalry on race tracks all across Europe. Schwantz decided to retire from motorcycle competition.

Wayne Wesley Rainey, born October 23, 1960 in Downey, California, United States, is a former American Grand Prix motorcycle road racer. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, he won the 500cc World Championship three times and the Daytona 200 once. He was characterized by his smooth, calculating riding style.
Rainey has refused to give up racing despite his disability and now races a hand-controlled Superkart in the World SuperKart series based in Northern California. He lives in Monterey, California in a house which was built overlooking the Laguna Seca circuit shortly before his career ending accident. The nearby circuit has named a corner in his honor, the Rainey Curve, a medium-speed, acute left-hander that follows the famous Corkscrew. Rainey was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1999. He was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2007.
In 2003, he was one of the subjects of the motorcycle racing documentary film, Faster.

He was born in Safford, Arizona in 1964. His family moved to Holbrook, Arizona when he was five years old. He graduated from Holbrook, High School before attending Eastern Arizona College and Arizona State University. He worked as the General Manager of the Mesa Symphony Orchestra and the Operations director of The Phoenix Symphony before running for the Arizona House of Representatives.
Gardner served three terms in the House before losing his last re-election bid. Critics felt he spent too much time focusing on running for the Speaker of the House and not enough time on his own campaign. After losing this campaign Gardner spent two legislative sessions as the Chief of Staff in the Arizona Senate.
Michael Gardner is currently a partner in the government relations firm Triadvocates http://www.triadvocates.com].
