At 48, Joey Dunlop may have been considered one of the ‘old
men’ of road racing, but his performance at the 2000 Isle of Man TT showed his
years had in no way diminished his skill and competitive edge.
Joey took another hat trick of wins around the Mountain
circuit, confirming his place as the most successful TT rider of all time.
Tragically, just weeks after the TT Joey would lose his life in a racing accident
in Estonia.
This iconic photograph by Stephen Davison shows Dunlop on
the 250cc Honda on the way to what would prove his penultimate TT victory. The
fortunate positioning of the roadside warning sign adds an almost comical
element to the image.
