Welcome with us
I've a little question for you and all the others...If there is no doubt , Giacomo was one of the greatest champions of all the time, he had many easy victories without a real opposition. But , for everyone, what was the Ago's best races...For me, it's his Daytona victory with the Yamaha and his last with the MV on the Ring...I except the battles with Hailwood...I was too young at this time

For lack of any other use, that post gave me the excuse to search online dictionaries to find out what a "sycophant" is ....at least I learnt something

To stick to races with real opposition, and without an enormous machinery advantage, and also sticking like Antony to the times when I actually followed racing :
- Grand Prix de France 1977 at the Paul-Ricard , last off the grid , way behind the pack, stormed through the field to end up second behind Barry , catching and passing all the other factory riders , including fellow Yamaha rider Stevie Baker whom he relegated in 3rd place....the period reports wrote that Ago rode like a madman ...
- The Hockenheim 750cc World Championship race that same year, it turned out to be his last race ever, and reports at the time tell how determined Giacomo was to finish his career on a top note - which he did, by winning the race in brilliant fashion .
- Italy 1976 , a few laps of splendid battle with Sheene and Read , the three of them on identical 500 RG's , before his machine let him down . I believe a certain Mr Avant who posts here witnessed this battle from fairly close up in the early laps

The Hockenheim 750cc WC race you are referring to - was it against Takazumi Katayama ? I remember a 750cc race in Hockenheim where Ago fought against Katayama for victory from the first to the last lap of both heats !
And here is a WWW -

You were lucky to witness that : Ago's last world Championship race , and he really made a point to beat Katayama, who was one of the top riders of the time .
Granty , Joey , Keith Huewen ? Old Parrish , Big Rob Mac ? Gary Lingham NW200 about 1983 First hairpin - is it called York ? Great pic

Brian Reid ! Beat me to it Phil...the mighty North West - awesome - boy can anyone get me in a helicopter & whizz me back to 1983 to watch this race...
And I think thats Brian Reid behind Joey with Norman Brown up the inside of 'Slingham On the Ago story, I always felt he might have had some easy years, but when you read the reports from the last one he was still out there trying...The year after Yamaha let him go he had some mighty bits of kit in his truck. MV 350 & 500, RG 500 and two OW31 (as seen in my earlier pic with Nobby Clarke in shot)...all nicely funded by Philip Morris

I am having my doubts now Antony as this is Linghams livery in 1984
and this in 1983 #14.
But again he used this in 1983 at the GP?
