Perhaps he was riding under Paul Hunt's number!
You will know, I am sure, that there have always been rumours that some of Mike Hailwood's most amazing results were, in fact, really achieved by his close friend and hero, Edgar, riding in Mike's leathers.
The original hammer in the "Hamma! hamma!" incident was also thought to have been wielded by a lightly disguised Edgar.
There is great hope that he will appear this year for the Centenary races, but under whose guise...we must just wait and see who puts in a surprising performance.
