The 2013 Senior TT was a spectacular race full of excitement and impressive performances - in many ways none were more impressive than James Hillier.
The Hampshire man grabbed on to John's coat-tails and performed the remarkable feat of staying with him for over three laps before passing him on the final circuit to try and secure third place.
This photo by Stephen Davison shows just how tight the pair were at times although the gap rarely grew to more than half-a-dozen or so bike lengths as Hillier put in a truly sterling performance.
