EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the thrilling world of motorcycle racing in 1955. The image captures the legendary Geoff Duke, a true icon of his time, as he fearlessly navigates a bend at Governors Bridge on the Isle of Man. Mounted on an Italian Gilera (493), Duke's determination and skill are palpable as he pushes himself to the limits. This particular race was no ordinary event; it was the Senior TT, one of the most prestigious races in motorcycling history. And Duke did not disappoint. Breaking all records with sheer brilliance, he claimed victory for an unprecedented third time in this category. His remarkable feat was accomplished in just 2 hours, 43 minutes, 49 and four-fifths seconds - an astonishing average speed of 97.93 miles per hour. The intensity captured within this photograph is undeniable; it encapsulates both the danger and excitement that characterized motorcycle racing during that era. As we gaze upon Duke's determined expression and witness him conquering each turn with precision, we cannot help but be awestruck by his mastery over machine and road alike. This print serves as a testament to Geoff Duke's indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication to his craft. It immortalizes a moment when history was made on two wheels - forever etching his name among motorsport legends worldwide.
