A true Lightweight
In 1954 the Spanish Montesa team rode these 125cc Sprint models in their first TT. We are not sure who the beefy lifter is: Murray Walker is behind his left elbow, next to him is Cyril Quantrill, founding editor of Motorcycle News and Motorcycle Sport. The smiler to the right of the picture is Vic Doyle, Renolds chain representative

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back to the year 1954, where the Spanish Montesa team showcased their incredible lightweight prowess in their first TT. The focus of the image is on a group of individuals surrounding one of these remarkable 125cc Sprint models. While the identity of the muscular figure lifting the bike remains unknown, two notable personalities can be spotted in this historic snapshot. Murray Walker, legendary motorsport commentator and enthusiast, stands behind his left elbow with an expression that exudes excitement for what lies ahead. Next to him stands Cyril Quantrill, founding editor of both Motorcycle News and Motorcycle Sport magazines. His presence adds a touch of authority to this already iconic moment. On the right side of the picture stands Vic Doyle, representing Renolds chain company. With a warm smile illuminating his face, he seems genuinely proud to witness such an extraordinary display of engineering brilliance. This print not only captures a significant moment in Montesa's history but also brings together influential figures who have played pivotal roles within the motorcycle industry. It serves as a reminder that even decades later, these events continue to inspire and captivate enthusiasts worldwide.
