Description

By: Mat Oxley .

This book celebrates motorcycle racing's main man: Valentino Rossi. With the help of dramatic photography, it portrays his high-speed life from his earliest days on minibikes to his current position as first lord of the world's fastest motorsport series - MotoGP. It chronicles each stage of his remarkable career and much, much more, covering his infamous victory celebrations, his bone-crunching crashes, his worshipping fans, his bitter rivals, his state-of-the-art machinery and his outrageous helmet designs. From stunning racetrack images to hilarious behind-the-scenes photos, this book provides a unique portrait of a unique star.

Author Mat Oxley has been writing about bike racing for more than two decades, following Rossi's career from the moment the youngster first stepped on to the World Championship scene. He writes for a range of motorcycle publications and his acclaimed biographies of Rossi and '90s racing legend Mick Doohan have been translated into Italian, Japanese and German. A former racer and Isle of Man TT winner, he lives in London.

Fabulous full-colour photographs capture the larger-than-life character of arguably the greatest motorcycle racer of all time and one of the world's most charismatic sporting personalities, both on and off the track. Rossi's life is charted from his earliest days, following his graduation through the ranks, winning the 125, 250 and 500 World Championships, to his domination of the 200mph MotoGP class, first with Honda and then in 2004 and 2005 with the previously under performing Yamaha squad. This is a visual treat for all who appreciate Rossi's talent and take on life in this age of conformist motor sport. Hardback, 280 x 230mm, 176 pages, 220 colour illustrations
