MotoGP: 5 Riders with the most consecutive race wins

#2 Mike Hailwood - 12 wins

Mike Hailwood won four 500cc world championships

Mike Hailwood's record of twelve successive race wins in the premier class came between the years 1963 and 1964.

The British rider's first win in this unique streak came during the 1963 Belgian Grand Prix at the Spa Francorchamps Circuit. He won all the races that followed this event in 1963 to take his tally to six back-to-back wins and claimed the world championship.

Hailwood started the 1964 season the way he finished the previous season, winning the first six races of the calendar. His record came to an end at Belfast as the Briton chose not to enter the Grand Prix. Still, with seven wins from seven starts, the British rider managed to secure another world championship in Grand Prix motorcycle racing.

In his decade-long Grand Prix motorcycle racing career, Mike Hailwood won nine world championships, with four of them in the 500cc class.
