Popis
This is a story of speed, love and loss - the definitive biography of the world’s most legendary motorsports racer.
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 well-loved motorcycle racer of all time, he transcended MotoGP to become a symbol of courage, risk and daring. Racing for twenty-three years at the highest level of the world’s most dangerous sport, he is a modern-day gladiator, a man who still risks his life every time he throws a leg over a motorcycle.
His popularity is phenomenal. For Rossi, every race is a home race. He turns MotoGP grandstands across the world a sea of yellow: his traditional lucky colour.
In more than two decades of Grand Prix racing, Rossi has seen it all. The deaths of rivals and friends, the glory of his unprecedented success, serious injuries, wealth and infamous altercations.
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.
