I,ve just watched a re-run of the clash between Pedrosa and Simoncelli and it begs the question,if ride through,s had been the norm in those black and white days of yesteryear,then George Shuttleworth could have :just cruised to his victory in the Senior: after the rough treatment dished out to him. A truely first class ride against the odds,got the win,got the lady,and so modest in victory,surely one of the best rides in tt history. Did he retire after the race and live happy ever after,i hope so.
