Clay Regazzoni on the right in the Lauda pic.

Molloy also won the 1966 Ulster 250 GP on a Bullie, and finished third behind Read and Ivy on the V4 Yamahas in the 1968 125 title.

Right. The list of Maico riders who won World Championships.

Graham Noyce
Neil Hudson
Barry Sheen (ask Bill)

Maico riders who won GPs

Gerrit Wolsink
Ake Johnson

Please note no one said they had to win them on a Maico. The Japanese usually bought riders as soon as they started to get good.
MAICOS RULE DESPITE THE FOOLS
