Jarno Saarinen chases down fellow Yamaha rider Phil Read in
a 250cc race at Silverstone on 13 August 1972. Saarinen went on to win that year's 250 world title, while Sheene struggled with reliability problems. Sadly, the Finnish ace was killed at the 1973 250cc Monza GP in a multi-bike crash which also claimed the life of Italian champion Renzo Pasolini.
