Getting ahold of high quality Euro-coverage like this was pure gold back in the 80’s👍. It was so rare. When I was a kid the Euro GP riders were just as much heroes to me as the American stars. Especially the 125 and 500 riders….Akira Watanabe, Lackey, Davy Strijbos, Everts, DeCoster, Geboers, Malherbe, Mikkola, Thorpe…I dreamt of one day racing the GP’s….To me that was the pinnacle of the sport, World Champion.
So cool to see film of the stuff you only saw in magazines at the time! Thanks for sharing!
