In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back to the thrilling 1959 Ultra Lightweight Ulster Grand Prix. The image captures a pivotal moment in the race as Gary Hocking, astride his powerful MZ bike with number 15 emblazoned on its side, fearlessly leads the pack. His determination is palpable as he skillfully maneuvers through the winding track. Hot on Hocking's heels is Mike Hailwood, riding his Ducati with equal fervor and precision. The intensity of their rivalry can be felt in this frozen frame of adrenaline-fueled competition. Both riders showcase their exceptional talent and unwavering focus as they push themselves to the limits. However, despite Hocking's initial lead, fate had other plans for these two legends of motorcycle racing. As the checkered flag waved triumphantly at the end of an exhilarating race, it was Hailwood who emerged victorious. This unexpected twist adds another layer of intrigue to this already iconic photograph. The timeless quality of this image transports us back to an era when speed ruled supreme and bravery knew no bounds. It serves as a testament to these remarkable athletes who risked everything for their passion and left an indelible mark on motorsport history
