I remember two very different comebacks that had very different times scales involving World Champions Mick Doohan and Jorge Lorenzo. Wayne Rainey won the race and two weeks later won the title by four points. Unfortunately, the story of the defence of his world title did not have a successful conclusion when he crashed and re-broke the collarbone at the Sachsenring two weeks later. He lost the world title to Marquez but two years later won back his crown amidst the Valentino Rossi/ Marquez shenanigans. The eight-time World Champion won the last MotoGP™ races to be held at all three.
