Twenty Five years ago today Mike Hailwood MBE GM passed away.

He was awarded the George Medal for Bravery for risking his own life by dragging Clay Reggazoni from a blazing F1 car.

Once described by the other great hero Joey Dunlop as the greatest racing motor cyclist ever, I am inclined to agree.

Both humble and modest men who were an enormous credit and great ambassadors for our sport and it is a privilege to say, I knew them both.

RIP.
