This is the profile of a rider who was known as a man of steel.

 

A man so coolly single-minded about his racing that few people felt they knew the man behind the visor.

 

A man whose determination to win took him from almost crippling injury to the World Champion’s rostrum three times by the time this film was made, and a further two before his retirement in 1999.

 

His astonishing achievements ensured his place in the annals of motorcycle history.

 

This extensive profile of super-champ Mick charts the major milestones of his career between 1992 and ’96, from the catastrophic accident that threatened to shatter his ambitions before he’d even really got into his stride to his third successive World Championship victory just four years later.
