Australia’s Jeff Leisk put the “Land Down Under” on top of the world map when he exploded into Grand Prix motocross racing in 1989. And in only his first attempt, he became the Runner-up 500cc World Champion.

The motocross world was stunned. Who was this kid and where did he come from?

Well…we all know the legend that is Jeff Leisk.

The Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) Race is a motorcycle racing event held on the Isle of Man and was for many years the most prestigious motorcycle race in the world. The event was part of the FIM Motorcycle Grand Prix World Championship during the period 1949-1976 before being transferred to the United Kingdom after safety concerns and run by the FIM as the British Grand Prix for the 1977 season. The Isle of Man TT Races became part of the TT Formula 1 Championship during the period 1977-1990 to preserve the events racing status. From 1989 the racing has been developed by the Isle of Man Department of Tourism as the Isle of Man TT Festival.
