Gehring again, this gets us the atmosphere of the wet event.
239 Confusion, we thought with the help of Ketam that this was Poland's Kryspin Kinicik, however the rider is wearing a Red Star of Russia on his Helmet & the machine we are told is a 350 0r 379 ccm(The Actual advertisment of the Poland team further down does say this number is WSK 125.) so that different machine? same number, it may be very wrong, the Headlamp etc is very different but numbers the same!!?.
