This short film of the 1972 Austrian Motorcycle Grand Prix at the Salzburgring highlights a fascinating duel between two of the all time great motorcycle road racers.

Beautiful little film of very different times. A very scary race track but what a setting.
Two great riders are the main feature and the support cast was also full of talent, containing the developing star that as Barry Sheene. Tragically Jarno Saarinen lost his life along with Renzo Pasolini at Monza the following year depriving the world of a truly outstanding talent in Jarno and the superb Renzo.
Just as in car racing world we all look back and think about what might have been; Stirling against Jim or Jim against JYS or Gilles v's Ayrton the list goes on. In motorcycling we could have had Jarno v's Barry v's Kenny, that would have been something.
