Motorsport

Eugenio Lazzarini is an Italian former professional motorcycle road racer, born on 26 March 1945 in Urbino. He went to work at the Benelli motorcycle factory at the age of 14 and began his Grand Prix career in 1969 in the 250cc class on a Benelli. His first Grand Prix victory came at the 1973 Dutch TT riding a Maico. Lazzarini then built his reputation in the smaller engine displacement classes: he won the 125cc world championship in 1978 on an MBA, and followed it with two 50cc world championships in 1979 and 1980 on a Kreidler. Over a riding career that spanned fifteen seasons in the FIM Grand Prix world championships, from 1969 to 1984, he was a three-time World Champion and an eight-time Vice-Champion.
