The Japanese alone fielded three teams, each with its own uniforms (orange for Honda, blue for Suzuki, grey for Yamaha), its own smartly drilled pit crew, its own stable of daredevil riders. Honda's Jim Redman, 31, a Southern Rhodesian, stole the show: he averaged 95.6 m.p.h. to win the Lightweight race, came back two days later to win the Junior race as well-averaging 94.9 m.p.h. despite pelting rain...
