Likely true. Vittorio Adorni rode a
re-branded Masi. Vittorio Marcelli won the '68 Amateur's WC (if that counts), and it's possible he rode a Masi. Keetie van Oosten-Hage, (NINE-time Word Champion - take that Sagan!) probably didn't, as she rode
RIH bikes.

And then there's track, with an Italian winner in '68, Giuseppe Beghetto.
