eason summary

With little opposition, Giacomo Agostini and MV Agusta continued to dominate the 500 class. Life was a bit tougher for Agostini in the 350 class as Kel Carruthers and Renzo Pasolini on Benellis and Rod Gould on a factory Yamaha gave him a battle on more than one occasion. Gould would take the 250 title for Yamaha battling Carruthers for the entire season. German Dieter Braun would give Suzuki the 125 crown while Derbi mounted Angel Nieto claimed the 50cc class for the second year in a row.

Spanish rider Santiago Herrero tragically lost his life at the 1970 Isle of Man TT. The Ossa factory pulled out of racing after the accident.
