50 years since this race and Ago has just turned 80 and Saarinen is still In our hearts. Such a terrible loss.

RIP Jarno and thanks for some great racing - I was in Italy in the spring of 1973 and still remember the shock when I heard about Jarno and Renzo Pasolini, both killed in the same racing accident at Monza.....

We have 4 F1, 13 rally racing, 5 motocross and almost 40 enduro world championships in Finland and only 5 million inhabitants. Still, the brightest star is Jarno "Baron" Saarinen! The only Finnish RR world champion!

I don’t think even he doesn’t know where he got his name or if his parents gave it to him because of Jarno. Don’t know. Still fascinating. Obviously Jarno Trulli, the Italian ex-F1 driver, is named after him. He was born in 1974 and I believe his father was a fan of Jarno or at least followed the sport closely.

Actually, taking the 1972 season (Saarinen's last full season, sadly) in the 350cc class as an example, did not Agostini win 6 grand prix to Saarinen's 3? Also was not Agostini not still piloting the 350cc MV that had proven uncompetitive against tge Honda 6 5 years earlier. Surely Saarinen's 2-stroke Yamaha must have been the quicker bike in 1972? It was natural that the 2-strokes began to displace 4-strokes in the 350cc class whilst the 500cc MV was still top dog. My point being that Saarinen's successes against Agostini may have had as much to do with the machinery as with the riders.
