Blast from the past - 2004 IOW Gallery
It always amazes me when I go through my archive looking for shots to use for features. This afternoon I was looking for a Neville Bradshaw shot from 2004 and found my old IOW GP images – my god was that a fun GP.
Take a look and remember that great weekend on that tiny little isle, that was blooming expensive to get too but had probably half the UK motocross scene in attendance…
Swordy had the backing of the British fans and finished on the podium
Ben Townley took the overall in MX2
Leok was awesome on the Motovison two stroke
