EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the thrilling era of motorcycle racing in 1950. The image captures the intense moment just before the start of the Junior TT race in New Zealand. Syd Jensen, a determined rider on his AJS bike, pushes off with unwavering determination etched on his face. What makes this particular race unique is that riders were not graded based on their skill level. Even though Geoff Duke emerged as the eventual winner, he started at an astonishingly low number 79. This fact alone adds an element of unpredictability and excitement to this historic event. As our eyes wander across the frame, we spot Guy Newman positioned at number three, ready to take on the challenging course astride his Velocette machine. And there's Dickie Dale at number four; little did anyone know that he would go on to ride the iconic Guzzi V-8 in 1957. This print encapsulates not only a snapshot from a bygone era but also showcases the bravery and passion these riders possessed as they embarked upon their adrenaline-fueled journey through twists and turns. It serves as a reminder of how far motorcycle racing has come while honoring those who paved its early path
