EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from BikeSport TT Race Pics takes us back to Signpost Corner in 1959, during the Junior TT race. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident just how much has changed over the past 52 years. The most noticeable transformation is the estate that now stands proudly behind the stonewall. Once an open landscape, it has been replaced by a bustling residential area, symbolizing progress and development. The road surface itself has undergone significant improvements since then, reflecting advancements in infrastructure and technology. However, it's not only the surroundings that have evolved; even the riding gear worn by these courageous racers showcases a stark contrast to what we see today. Their helmets appear rudimentary compared to modern designs focused on safety and aerodynamics. Derek Powell and Bill Smith are captured here as they finished 18th and 19th respectively in this historic race. While their achievements may seem modest by today's standards, their participation represents a momentous era for motorcycle racing enthusiasts. It's important to note that this caption does not mention any commercial use of the photo or refer specifically to AJS as a company. Instead, it focuses solely on capturing the essence of change throughout history within various aspects depicted in this remarkable image from BikeSport TT Race Pics.
