Each measure has its own source coverage. Missing pole/lap records are not zeros for a rider's career; source scope must be considered before comparing eras.
Sources and coverage
Wikipedia revision-backed observations, CC BY-SA 4.0. Partial historical coverage; no live timing. Missing records do not establish absence.
Adapted historical tables: Wikipedia contributors, CC BY-SA 4.0. Each observation links to its pinned revision. Normalised motorcycle tables are available under the same licence. Official sporting classifications remain a reconciliation priority.
