Not being picky, but '74 Transatlantic, not GP racing, so quite a lot less "pressure". That's an early model TZ750 in the shot, with a noooice example of British motoring with the wagon in the background! Would have been min spec effort, with limited support only for 3 events in one Easter Weekend
Kel Carruthers in the background dowing the tyre or gearing change.
Apart from a couple of runs on a TZ250 in 74 also, Roberts never went GP racing till 78 with a YZR500.

Note the use of period knee sliders...
Roberts scored 2-2-1-1-2-1 over the three-meeting series to be top scorer, but the Poms beat the Yanks 415 to 401 for the weekend.
