Rob Bron started his Grand Prix career with an eighth place finish at the 1970 Dutch TT riding a 50cc Kreidler and then straddled his Suzuki and rode to a sixth place finish in the 500cc Class. Bron had his best year in 1971 when he finished second at the German Grand Prix, Dutch TT and the Ulster Grand Prix.

The Dutch TT was held for the first time in 1925. Since then the event has taken place every year with the exception of the years 1940 to 1945 because of WW II. The circuit where the race is held is known as "The Cathedral" of motorcycling.
