MacKeller calls Hiroshi Hasegawa, Toru Hasegawa in the index. There is no reference in the biography article. PeterGrecian (talk) 09:24, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quote: It was ridden by Jim Redman, Yoshikazu Sunako, Fumio Ito, Hiroshi Hasegawa and Tony Godfrey for the 1963 Grand Prix season. Comment: Could you please explain, how Jim Redman could win the 250 cc Championship on a Honda in 1963, although your author put him into the Yamaha team? The truth is: Jim Redman was ruling champion since he easily dominated the 250 cc season on a four cylinder Honda. So Honda and Jim thought to defend the title without big problems, but Tarquinio Provini on his single cylinder Morini "Bialbero" gave him a courageous fight all over the 63 season! So Jim won the title again by a very narrow gap of two points only over Provini! I met Jim yesterday and told him that someone put him into the Yamaha-Team in 63. He mildly grinned only, and therefore it was my part to mention: "There's so much bullsh** around, especially on the Internet.....!" And - excuse me - by far too often on WIKIPEDIA, I should have added! Regards Karl —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.210.81.26 (talk) 20:48, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
