Description

This incredible image shows the late Martin Finnegan flying at Tandragee in 2008.

World-renowned road racing photographer Stephen Davison recounts the story behind the awe-inspiring picture in his best-selling book Hard Roads:

‘A few minutes after I had taken this photograph of Martin Finnegan in action during practice for the 2008 Tandragee 100, he rang me. He had finished the practice session and stepped off his bike back at the paddock. Even though he had been racing over Cooley Hill Jump at 100mph Martin had spotted me in the hedge and he wanted to know if I had got the picture of him – sure hadn’t he looked over at my camera and everything! I told him that I had and that he had scared the living daylights out of me too. We laughed and said that we would meet up the following day.’

Tragically, Finnegan lost his life in a racing accident the next day. This dramatic image is as much a celebration of his life as it is a celebration of the speed, passion and drama of our sport.

Each canvas has been printed to the highest quality using the latest technology, with archival grade canvas and inks.

The canvas print is available in a variety of sizes - A0 (47”x33”/840mmx1188mm approx), A1 (33”x24”/594mmx840mm approx), A2 (24”x16”/420mmx594mm approx), A3 (16”x12”/297mmx420mm approx) and A4 (8"x12"/210mmx297mm approx).
