I found this in the archives:
Roma-Napoli-Roma was raced from 1902 through 1914, 1919 through 1930, = and again in 1934. There was then a 16 year gap. The 1950 Race was the = post-war "inaugural" event, and was again an annual until the final race = in 1961.
The 1950 race had an interesting formula...=20
Stage 1a was an 81 km Individual Time Trial, motorpaced behind Lambretta = motor scooters (won bu Robic, from Fausto Coppi and Rik Van = Steenbergen). =20
Stage 1b was a 145 km conventional road race (won by Serse Coppi, from = Luciano Maggini and Virgilio Salimbeni). =20
Stage 2a was a 168 km motor-paced road race behind Lambrettas (won by = Fausto Coppi,from Nedo Logli and Robic).
Finally, Stage 2b was 77 km Team Time Trial, AGAIN behind motor-paced by = a Lambretta! (won by Robic's team, from Coppi's team, with Van = Steenbergen's team and Louison Bobet's teams tied for third). =20 Must have been a noisy, fascinating event, especially if you like = Lambrettas. However, it looks like they discontinued use of the = motor-scooter-pacers after one year.
