## Caption

Mike Hailwood hadn't raced a motorcycle at the Isle of Man in eleven years. He came back in 1978 on a privateer Ducati at age thirty-eight.

Everyone expected nostalgia—a lap of honour from a retired legend.

He led from lap one. He broke lap records. He won by nearly two minutes. It was the first TT win in Ducati history.

Three years later, he was killed in a road accident. He was forty years old.
