Explanation

Rossi did NOT win his first 500cc World Championship in his rookie year. He moved to the 500cc class (now MotoGP) in 2000, finishing 2nd overall. He won his first 500cc championship in 2001, his second year in the class. This pattern of winning in his second year in a new class was consistent throughout his career (125cc: 1996, 250cc: 1997, 500cc: 2001).
