EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back to the thrilling 1998 Senior TT race on the Isle of Man. The focus is on Bob Jackson, a determined rider representing McAdoo Kawasaki. With his eyes set on victory, Jackson made a strategic decision by opting for a larger 32-litre fuel tank in hopes of minimizing pit stops and countering the blistering speed of his Honda competitors. However, fate had other plans for him that day. As he pulled into the pits for what should have been a swift refueling stop, disaster struck when his filler cap refused to close properly. Time seemed to stretch endlessly as mechanics frantically worked to resolve the issue while precious seconds ticked away. Despite their best efforts, this unforeseen setback cost Jackson dearly – ultimately losing him the race by a mere 3.7 seconds to Ian Simpson riding for Honda. It was an agonizingly close finish that left spectators breathless and showcased just how crucial every second can be in such high-stakes racing events. This photograph immortalizes both the determination and heartbreak experienced by Bob Jackson during that fateful race day in 1998. It serves as a reminder that even with meticulous planning and calculated strategies, success can sometimes slip through our fingers due to unexpected circumstances beyond our control
