On 14 July 1979, the Silverstone circuit in England was the scene of a race that made the history of motorcycling: the British Grand Prix.
On the track, two legendary riders: Kenny Roberts, the new American sensation, and Barry Sheene, the English veteran, fighting for the world title.
The race was a very close duel, with the two rivals exchanging the lead several times. Roberts got off to a good start and immediately took the lead, but Sheene didn’t give up. The two challenged each other wheel to wheel, giving the audience an unforgettable emotion.
In the end, Roberts only managed to outrun Sheene by just three seconds. The victory secured him the world title, becoming the first American rider to win the 500cc championship.
