Thanks to the two successes of “Pecco” (Portugal and Spain) and the two of Bezzecchi (Argentina and France), for the first time since 1972 there were 4 victories by Italian riders on Italian motorcycles in the first 5 races of the championship. It hasn’t happened since 1972, when Giacomo Agostini and Nello Pagani won the first 12 races with MV Agusta.
