The picture is from 1998. Michael finished second in the F1 to Ian Simpson, having originally led, before slowing when one of his contact lenses fell out going down Sulby Straight! This resulted in him having laser surgery on his eyes shortly after.

He again led the Senior Race (the epic Simmo / Bob Jackson race) before dropping back when he got a puncture.

Look out for some news re Michael and the TT coming soon!
