Mike Hailwood's return to racing at the 1978 Tourist Trophy is considered one of the most emotional and heartbreaking events in the history of the sport.
A rider of nearly forty years of age, maimed by a car accident, notably in Formula 1, which limited the functionality of one leg, decides to return to his natural hunting ground, which is also equivalent to the oldest, most prestigious and dangerous motorsport event.
And it is not just any centaur, but one who is unanimously considered, with Giacomo Agostini, the greatest in the history of two wheels.
In the most prestigious of all Isle of Man races, the one-round World TT, Mike decides to challenge the Honda of Phil Read, the reigning champion, riding a Ducati, not only the first love of his racing youth but also a manufacturer going through a very difficult economic phase at the end of the 1970s.
And it will be from everything that happens in those fifteen days of practice and racing that the destinies of all parties will change forever. Writing an indelible and legendary page of Sport and Life.
And today, in Hailwood & la Ducati al TT - La più bella storia del motorsport by Mario Donnini, told and relived in detail and finally enjoyed thanks to various direct sources, who have finally agreed to tell the whole truth.
