Phil Read – England – 1974 World Champion, MV Agusta 500cc
1974:the last world championship for the legendary Italian marque.
It would also be the last time a four-stroke machine would win a title until the advent of the MotoGP class in 2002.
Very nice photo. I go back even further than when this shot was taken,I have seen the late great Mike Hailwood and Giacomo Agostini riding works MV Agusta's on the famous Isle of Man TT course and also many race circuits in the UK. I'm showing my age here... Lol
