It’s a leather and googles thing…

Good Friday will see the return of motor pacing at Herne Hill, using the
mighty Triumph Thunderbird’s that are based at the track.
The legendary master motor pacer Bruno Walrave will travel to London to head
up a field of internationally acclaimed pacers in the Prix de BPA Stayers
race & will partner the British National Stayers Champion, Simon Cope
(Pacific RT). Other riders include Ronald Schur from Holland and Jan Richter, the German
stayers champion.
The motor paced Stayers race pits rider against rider, who use the
slipstream of a pacing Triumph Thunderbird to attempt to gain an advantage.
Riders will have to work hard to stay on the pace & you can feel the track
rumbling as they race by at fast speeds.
Stayers racing is huge on the continent and the Pacers are almost as famous
as the riders, many of whom play to the crowd & sport dashing mustaches to
set them apart.
