Hill aims for the hole in the crowd coming into land from his devastatingly fast bottom section. 3rd in the first two splits, Hill was able to drift his way back on track through the grassy off-camber turns at the end.

This photo is so epic.... Great timing, it's like you can feel the moment!
From a photography standpoint, it's 99.9% perfect, if only... He would have been Fred by the grass, you almost lose him in the finish line arch... But thank The Lord for depth of field
But I understand that it probably wasn't possible to make that happen...
Anyways, the photographer killed it with this pic, I would print and frame it haha maybe send a copy to mr hill him self!

The steez within this photograph takes my breath away. The connection between the rider and his two wheeled companion is comparable to the connection i have with my partner rodriguez. We met on a cold winters winters night in a service station north of the M25, it was only at this moment, when our eyes connected in the reflection of standing water on the hard tiled floor, that i knew my sexuality had changed for life. Rodriguez has me now 3
