Besides Rossi, has any other MotoGP racer finished every race of the season on the podium?

The late '60s and '70s. Wow you really took it back. He took 1st every race in some seasons - before my time... Wayyy before my time. Thanks.

Wisdom and knowledge comes with age in a lot of cases, but not always!

Damn! Had to make another post. Seeing those 500s really takes me back. They made a solid 200 horsepower, two upper and two lower cylinders each on their own crankshaft that counter rotated to each other. A power band that kicked in at 190 mph and would stand the bike straight up and down on the rear tire. And NO electronics! Those things were monsters!!

I can't even imagine what the powerband on those 2-stroke 500cc race bikes hit like. Damn, it must a real rush.
