Interesting how some people have a distinctive style. Even from the back it could have only been Stavros
nice bit of concrete to hit if you miss the bales

I preume the bales are covering the catch fencing poles, even so not a great bit of run off there is it!
And how hard is Jon Ekerold on the brakes there ? Front wheel buried, and the fairing point near dragging on the road. Go, son !

There is a catch fence running parallel to the wall . The run off area is larger than it looks like. I rarely have seen a rider making it to the catch fence. Anyway, the corner has been reshaped to a kink 2002 - now there is a giant tarmac run-off.

So, few months later, M. Frutschi was killed by the same "protections"!

Yip, I was there that day, but in the tribune on the exit of the Opel curve (the one before the pits). Those shots were taken at the corner exiting the motodrome, after the pits. I posted a shot of that race that I took, on the old thread.
Really odd that first one. Ekerold appears to be looking at someone he knows up in the stands.
Oh, and only one bale fallen down to expose what looks like a solid enough steel pipe fencing pole.
They weren´t heavy into the old safety in those days, were they.

Don't be surprised, Mr Fu...Gert Bender self made a 125 at +/-90%, frame and motor..He was a genie like H. Bartol who were some excellent racers-constructors
Just found those pictures on the site http://www.classic-motorrad.de/
The pictures are from 1970 and I am amazed by the amount of hang-off the rider (Adolf Ohligschläger) is applying. Did that style of riding really start that early ? When did the first riders use hang-off ?

What great shots. Knees out and bums off the saddle were common from the early to mid sixties. I've a theory this was due to either the perception or reality that Dunlop triangular tyres were not as grippy, or perhaps lacked feel, as compared to the Avon racing rubber, which had disappered from about 1963. Number 57 rides the TR/D2 much like Paul Smart did around the same time.

Great contrast in style don't you think. The leading rider has the old Mick Grant style and the second is setting a trend as this style is still common today..

The rider in front is Ferdinand Kaczor, by the way. A very promising pilot who sadly lost his life at the Salzburgring in the early 70's.

Sure Bert Schneider was from Austria and is much older than Bernd Schneider from Germany.

Wow Hemeyla, I´m seriously impressed. Not only did you know both men, but you even had pictures of them. Incredible.
It is before 1969 but Bert Schneider from Austria did very well , WC results 125cc 1964
