Still gives me chills this...no1 but no1 could've got more out of that 250 than micheal on that day...defo had his old man riding with him. Fucking amazing performance which resulted in arguably 1 of, if not the greatest moments in sports history.
I was there that day, not a dry eye anywhere ,took alot of balls for Michael to do that ,but that's what he is ,top bloke upmost respect, his dad was a lovely man, proper warrior saw him race many many times rip Robert
If there is a heaven, and his father was looking down... There is no farther, in the history of mankind, who would be more proud. One of the greatest displays of racing skill and determination that I've ever witnessed. Doing it with tears streaming down my face.
I know a lot of so called sports purists from different sports might not agree but for me this is up there with the rumble in the jungle as one of the greatest and iconic sporting moments in the history of sport.
Fuck me thats a tear jerker , if there ever was one. I think the leader of the race before Michael , knew exactly the right thing to do , good on him and mcguiness for bringing the lad home. A lesson in being a man if ever there was one from all sides.
This is crazy. No sense. Pursuiting something just because your parent did it. To prove something to the world. Parent, brother and uncle who lost his LIVES to this sport and you risk the same. For what? Glory?Fame?I’ d rather stay alive.
To do that at 20 years old, right after the passing of his father. A true road racer and a heart of courage. Unbelievable. Mad respect to Micheal.
Watching this back in 2008 was the moment I fell in love with road racing.

Talk about courage. What a bloke.
He was never losing that race, he had more than any other rider in the race, was amazing being there that day.
