  • Loris Capirossi is the only driver win title World Champions at first year, in 1990.
  • Emilio Alzamora is the only driver win title World Champions in 125cc none win Grand Prix 1999 season.
  • In 1967 season 500cc, Agostini drive MV Agusta 350/500, and final standing at first place (46 points) with Mike Hailwood; together wins 5 Grand Prix & 1 second place. Agostini wins title because too young!! (Probably this is the most curious victory in the sport's history)
