 Sheene tucks behind the screen of his Seeley-framed TR500 Suzuki and pushes the twin-cylinder engine up to its 8000rpm red line. This shot was taken at the Hutchinson 100 on 8 August 1971. The previous weekend he had won his third 125 GP of the season at Imatra. A few weeks later he broke a wrist in a crash at Hengelo in Holland - the first of many bones he was to break during his 14 years as a GP racer. If the World Championships had been scored the way they are now he would have taken the 125 title that year, his first as a professional racer.
