Today in motorcycle history, June 23, 1973


  

  




  






  A German, a Swiss and the Dutch...aboard an ever-trusty Kreidler, Switzerland's Bruno Kneubühler wins the 50cc Class Dutch TT in Assens, Netherlands.





  During his career, Bruno Kneubühler was one of just a handful of riders to have competed in every Grand Prix Class from 50cc to 500cc. Racing professionally from 1972-1989, while a championship always alluded him, Bruno finished second three times, winning 5 Grand Prix races and sharing the podium 33 times with GP riders from Giacomo Agostini to Mick Doohan.



  In the 1973 Grand Prix 50cc Class final standings nine out of ten were riding a Kreidler. The one "nomad" was on a Dutch-built Jamathi.
