You need to copy the html source code from photo bucket (think it shows you somewhere), or open the image in a new window and then copy the code maybe?

Rob Herring. He was South African but rode for the UK team. The rule changed to birthplace not federation license for riding for a MXDN team. Maybe that was not the rule change, since Billy Liles rode for Luxemburg I think sometime after 1988, and the current "Team Puerto Rico" thing.

Yup it's Rob of course.

The Americans turned up with radios mounted to the back of thier helmets and ear pieces inside so the mechanics could communicate during the race. They used them in practice but the FIM banned them from using them during the race and wrote a rule to that effect moving forward.

Was that the race where the French team taped cigarette boxes to their helmets to look like radios?

Wonder how long it will be before we see that rule changed though!? Its probably inevitable isn't it.

Judging by the riding style and Sinisalo gear - yes. But did he ever finish 4th in the 125 cc points?
