EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in Assen, Holland on June 26th, 1965, we witness the intense action of the Senior Dutch T. T. Race. The image showcases Britain's very own Mike Hailwood, the reigning world motorcycling champion (No. 1), fearlessly maneuvering his four-cylinder Italian M. V. motorcycle as he closely trails behind his teammate Giacomo Agostini (No. 2) around a sharp bend. Hailwood's exceptional skills were on full display during this race as he engaged in an exhilarating duel with Agostini, showcasing their unmatched talent and determination to emerge victorious. Just weeks prior to this event, Hailwood had secured his third consecutive win at the Isle of Man Senior T. T. , solidifying his status as one of the greatest riders of all time. Setting a new record for himself during this thrilling race at Assen, Hailwood completed the grueling 96.6-mile course in an astonishing time of 64 minutes and 59.6 seconds – averaging an impressive speed of 88.4 miles per hour. This remarkable photograph captures not only the excitement and intensity of professional motorcycle racing but also pays homage to two legends who pushed boundaries and redefined what it meant to be champions on two wheels – Mike Hailwood and Giacomo Agostini.
