Mick Doohan takes the second spot on the list with twelve race wins in a single Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. His record came during the 1997 season, which was the ninth MotoGP season of his career.

Riding a Honda machine, the Australian entered the 1997 season in the hunt for his fourth world championship. Doohan started the year well and went on to win twelve of the fifteen races that were a part of the season. Furthermore, he finished second in two of the three races that he failed to claim the top spot of the podium.

That dominating performance netted his fourth championship with 340 points, some 160 points greater than the second-placed rider.

During his career that lasted over a decade, the Australian won the 500cc world championship five times, which interestingly, came in five consecutive years.
