EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back to the thrilling atmosphere of the 1965 Senior TT race. The legendary Mike Hailwood takes center stage as he navigates his way through Governors Bridge on a visibly battered MV four motorcycle. The image tells a remarkable story of determination and skill as Hailwood's journey was far from smooth sailing. Earlier in the race, at Sarahas Cottage, he had encountered a heart-stopping slide off the track. Undeterred by this setback, Hailwood quickly remounted his trusty MV and continued with unwavering resolve. Despite sustaining significant damage to his motorcycle during the incident, Hailwood made not one but two pit stops to straighten out his battered machine before resuming the race. His sheer determination paid off handsomely when he emerged victorious, crossing the finish line ahead of Joe Dunphy by an impressive 80 seconds. Intriguingly captured in an inset within this photograph is a moment that showcases Hailwood's humility and respect for his mechanics. It appears that he is offering apologies for bending their meticulously crafted model due to his accident-prone ride. This extraordinary snapshot immortalizes both triumph and humanity; it encapsulates Mike Hailwood's indomitable spirit and serves as a testament to his status as one of motorcycling's greatest icons.
