Description: AN EXCEPTIONAL READ' - Motor Cycle News'STUART BARKER IS TO WRITING WHAT VALENTINO ROSSI IS TO RIDING [.] A MUST-READ FOR ALL BIKE NUTS' - DAILY MIRROR' At high speed everything becomes more difficult and more beautiful. When you're racing at 180mph, the semi-bends become bends, the little holes become big holes, everything becomes extreme and bigger. And then it becomes beautiful.' Valentino Rossi is an icon: the most successful and most loved motorcycle racer of all time, he has transcended Moto GP to become a symbol of courage, risk and daring. To race for twenty-three years at the very highest level of the world's most dangerous sport is unprecedented. But then, there has never been a motorcycle racer like Valentino Rossi. He is a modern-day gladiator, a man who still risks his life every time he throws a leg over a motorcycle. Yet for all his two-wheel talents, it is Rossi's endearing character that has seen him transcend the sport. For Rossi, every race is a home race. He turns Moto GP grandstands across the world a sea of yellow - his traditional lucky colour. In more than two decades of Grand Prix racing, he has seen it all. The deaths of rivals and friends, the glory of unprecedented success, serious injuries, fabulous wealth, the greatest battles ever seen on two wheels, the infamous on and off-track clashes with his fiercest rivals. Using exclusive new interviews with those who have been part of Rossi's story from start to finish, critically-acclaimed and bestselling motorsport author Stuart Barker has produced the most in-depth book ever written about the Italian superstar - a tale of speed, love and loss, told in full for the very first time, in all its adrenalin-charged, high-octane glory.

Review: A great read if you like motorcycle racing and MotoGP in particular. It is well written and shows the progress, natural ability, personality and mind games that he used when racing. It was also good to read about his opponents and their opinions whilst racing and afterwards. Go for it.

Review: The Doctor, has been one of the most successful motorcycle racers ever. He has been a favourite of bike racing fans for many years. Valentino has been multiple World Champion in 125cc, 250cc, 500cc and MotoGP classes. This book charts his racing career from 1993 to 2019, a must read for all fans of motorcycle racing. It is a brilliant read, I read it over a couple of days, totally engrossing book about Vale.
