EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back to the thrilling era of motorcycle racing in the 1920s. The image showcases Luigi Arcangeli, a legendary Italian rider who made history as the first Guzzi leaderboard man at the prestigious Lightweight TT race in 1927. The story behind this remarkable achievement is equally fascinating. The previous year, due to Petro Ghersis' exclusion from the race, it was only in 1926 that Moto Guzzi motorcycles were introduced to compete at the Isle of Man TT for the first time. However, it was not until 1927 that Luigi Arcangeli truly made his mark on this iconic event. Despite finishing second to Wal Handley (Rex Acme), Arcangeli's performance solidified his place among motorcycling greats. Notably, like many talented Italian riders of his time, he later transitioned into car racing where he continued to showcase his skills and passion for speed. This print captures an extraordinary moment frozen in time – a testament to both Arcangeli's unwavering determination and Moto Guzzi's emergence onto the international racing scene. It serves as a reminder of how these early pioneers paved the way for future generations of racers and contributed significantly to Italy's rich motorsport heritage
