WAYNE is the near improbable true story of the ‘larrikin kid’ from Wollongong, Wayne Gardner. With girlfriend Donna Forbes never far from his side, Wayne’s remarkable journey takes him from a $5 dirt bike to the pinnacle of his sport. In 1987 Wayne becomes the first Australian to win the World Motorcycle Grand Prix, and with it, the hearts of all Australians.
During the Q&A session lead by ABC Illawarra’s Nick Rheinberger, Wayne revealed Valentino Rossi is his favourite rider of the modern era. He also shared that in the mountains in Europe remind him of Macquarie Pass.
