XGBE640000014
Two super-stars on super-biikes. Bob McIntyre leads his Honda team-mate Jim Redman into the tight La Source hairpin bend during the 1962 Belgian 250cc Grand Prix. Even with identical riding and machine performance, Mac's narrow lead would look four times as great by the time they reached the ultra-fast Masta Straight. In fact half way round the last lap Redman's oil tank split and McIntyre went on to an easy win.

This poignant shot, taken on one of the dangerous Armco lined bends at the Salzburgring shows just how far safety has moved on in Grand Prix road racing. The two gladiators going at it hammer and tongs, just as they had all of the 1973 season, are Yamaha’s Jarno Saarinen and factory Aermacchi Harley- Davidson rider Renzo Pasolini. In what was a classic confrontation the experienced Pasolini needed all his time-served track craft to run with the rising Finnish ace Saarinen. Just weeks after this shot was taken both riders lost their lives at the equally dangerous Monza, robbing the sport of two of its all time greats.

Mallory Parks favourite son John Mooneyes Cooper in typical pose as he rounds Gerards Bend during the 1971 Easter Sunday meeting ahead of Lincolnshire ace Steve Machin (Padgett Yamaha) and Jim Curry on the 350 Honda twin. An unlikely looking hero, with his studious John Lennon glasses, on this occasion Cooper heads the field on his 350 Yamsel, the product of joining one of Colin Seeleys fine handling chassis with the, by then, dominant Yamaha engines. For a decade or more Cooper was the man to beat at Mallory Park, whether Manx Norton, BSA Rocket 3 or Yamsel mounted.
