You are quite right, it does. Our sources seem to not match
You are quite right, it does. Our sources seem to not matchA bit of google leads me to Wikipedia, which says he rode a GP in 1949... Interesting.
Masetti ran in 125 in '49 according to the wiki on the 1949 season.
Alright, I got a question. Would be easy to find the answer, but will take time and be very surprising.
How many riders who have won the 125 and/or 250 titles taken a win the 500cc/MotoGP class?
Dig deeper, look at the race report for the 1949 Dutch GP, he finished outside the points on a Gilera, apparently
Motocross WC 1990s...........George Jobe rode for the Ohlins Yamaha team in the 500cc class for a season or two.What was so special about the bike?

It was a 4-stroke?
It was a 250 bored out to 360cc.Funnily enough its pretty much the same idea that Carroli ? runs now in this years MX championship.

1. Where, when, and who, did/was the first time ever, all three on the podium were aboard a V4 500cc Yamahas. Its a hard one, so I'll give you guys a hint: it happened in Europe after 1980.
2. What America rider has won two wins in two wild cards. Hint: Happened in the lower classes.
3. In 1988, when Kevin Schwantz won his first GP, what was the significance for the Suzuki factory?
