The St Andrew's Cross emblazoned on his helmet shows how proud Keith Amor is of his Scots roots - and the bright design, a familiar site around the Isle of Man TT course, is stunning against the bright blue sky of a Manx summer day.
This picture was taken as Amor prepared for action at the 2011 Isle of Man TT, and captures the moments of quiet reflection and concentration before the racer ventures out onto the world's ultimate race track - the 37.7-mile TT Mountain course.
