Biography
Mike Duff is the only Canadian to ever
win a World Championship Motorcycle Grand Prix. In all, he won three,
the first was the 1964 250 c.c. Belgian G.P. in 1965. He finished second
in the 250 c.c. World Championship with victories in the Dutch Tourist
Trophy race and the Finnish G.P. A couple of serious crashes - one that
required hip replacement surgery - cut short Mike's European career in
1967. But he came home in time to borrow a bike and finish third in the
first ever Canadian Motorcycle Grand Prix at Mosport in 1967 behind the
legendary Mike Hailwood and Giacomo Agostini.
