A true gent who was CoC for my MGP / TT's .... Jack always spoke to the riders on friendly but very professional first name terms at a level which naturally because he had raced himself commanded respect and you always listened to what he had to say....having raced himself he knew and fully understood the abundance of enjoyment and excitement we were all experiencing and he joined in with that himself while making sure the event was run properly. Rest in speed Jack.

I have obtained a copy of Motor Cycling magazine dated June 4, 1953. It’s a truly fascinating read and includes practice results for the 1953 TT races. At that time the TT race programme included Clubman’s races in addition to the International TT races themselves. The Clubman’s races included a 1,000cc class and the fastest practice laps for that class were put in by R Madsen-Mygdal riding a Vincent. Now all TT and MGP fans know that surname well from Dave Madsen-Mygdal’s amazing TT Course achievements but does any forum member know whether these two riders are related?
