EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the exhilarating world of motorcycle racing in 1946. The image captures the intense rivalry between Maurice Cann and Les Graham as they line up for the Unlimited solo race on Easter Monday. Both riders exude determination and focus, ready to push their limits on the iconic Cadwell Park circuit. As the race unfolds, fate intervenes, leading to a dramatic twist in their battle for victory. Mid-race, Cann and Graham become entangled in a heart-stopping moment that ultimately forces Graham into an early retirement from the competition. Undeterred by this setback, Cann bravely soldiers on with unwavering resolve. The photograph freezes this pivotal instant forever; it encapsulates both triumph and disappointment within its frame. While Les Graham's dreams of glory were dashed that day, Maurice Cann refuses to let adversity define him. He charges forward relentlessly towards his goal. Ultimately finishing second behind George Brown riding an HRD machine, Cann's tenacity shines through as he proves himself against formidable opponents on one of Britain's most challenging tracks. This remarkable snapshot not only immortalizes a thrilling chapter in motorcycle racing history but also serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of these two fierce competitors who pushed themselves beyond their limits in pursuit of victory.
