As a child Ago was, and still is my hero, especially after witnessing him destroy the opposition at Kyalami. My country of residence is S.Africa since 1964.So as far as i am concerned, Agostini is by far one of the greatest, not because of my Italian roots, but the record speaks for itself. It takes a real hardcore champ to win 10 IOM, not to mention his track carreer in different classes. Caro Giacomo, per me sarai sempre il migliore, e il piu grande.

All the great guys were racing that weekend, Agosini, Hailwood, Ivey, Bryan(I think). Got some decent pictures in the pits but the racing shots were without a telephoto lens. Walked up behind the 6 cylinder Honda in the pits just as the mechanics started it. Was almost deafened. Have never heard anything like that since! It was a wet cold, dreary weekend. There were almost no one there(maybe why they didn”t come back as far as I know). On a small grandstand near the starting line I was sitting with 10 other people for the races I watched from outside the track.

impressed from the results of AGO.
The combination from the MV Agusta with Ago in the saddle it was tremendes for me,
ans Ago is still for me the greatest.
I was on many events with Ago, and it is still unbelievable how the spectators after
so many years are mad from Ago..It was a great honour for me that he was riding
my 4 cilinder MV racer.

best races on the island. The reason why he coud’nt continue was because he
went of the course at governers bridge.I have the video and the records of the event.
Do you remember the records? Along with Hailwood,Read and Williams Ago was one
of the best.
