Triumph Trident Triple racer –1971 Bol d’Or motorcycle racing photo

Description

A superb and rare photo, made from the original negative, of the Italian Triumph team, riding a
works 750cc Triumph Trident Triple
in the 1971 edition of the famous Bol d’Or endurance race in France! The photo was taken in the paddock just after that famous race.
On the right hand side we see the well known Triumph Trident racing expert
Bepi
Koeliker
, holding the bike is
Domenica
Pettinari
.
With glasses we see
Vanni
Biegi
, behind him his co-rider
Lorenzo
Galtrucco
.
This team was responsible for a string of amazing Triumph Triple successes in
Southern Europe
, including the high profile endurance races of that era.
A year before this photo was taken, during the 1970
Bol
d’Or
race,
Paul
Smart
and
Tom
Dickie
won the race with a similar machine. See our auction.
Tom Dickie rode a much similar Trident as we see on the photo here, nicknamed “ Slippery Sam “, to 4
th
place in the 1970 Production T.T. on the Isle of Man.
In many ways this is a very historic
non period
photo
that reflects a most historic racing victory by Triumph, it definitely is a classic shot. It is rare to obtain a photo like this, therefore it is printed in a nice large format of approx. 7.6" x 10" (19.
3 x 25
.4 cm). It is great the way it is, and would look gorgeous when framed.
