RE: mike hailwood
Hi Ian, simple answer, no we will never see the likes of Mike again, mainly because GP's are so different now, riders only ride in one class not two, three or even four on the same day. One could argue that the TT is as close as it gets for riders to enter different classes but there again in Mike's day the TT was only another round of the world championships and you had to be able to ride the road circuits as well as the closed circuits. As I have said on here before, and on the "Dark Side", what makes Mike so special for me was not just his winning comeback to the TT but two days later winning at Mallory probably the shortest of all short circuits at that time. No disrespect to any current TT or GP rider its just not feasable to prove how versitile a rider can be these days. IMHO
