Victory for Václav Vondřich in 1905: A milestone in Škoda Motorsport History

The following year, on 25 June 1905, he returned, this time taking the precaution of carrying a leather bag with spare parts and tools, which earned him the nickname ‘the travelling blacksmith’. After 216 kilometres, during the fourth of five laps, Vondřich took the lead, eventually winning on his L&K CCR twin-cylinder motorcycle ahead of competitors from England, France, Germany, and Austria, with a time of 3:05:15. He reached speeds exceeding 100 km/h on the straights.
