Description
Celebrate the life and career of arguably the greatest motorcycle racer ever - Valentino Rossi.
This limited edition publication, from Motorcycle News, is a glossy, 132-page tribute to the Doctor, packed with photos, articles, facts and figures. It includes not only contributions from the world's best MotoGP journalists, but also pieces written by Rossi himself and his dad.
There are also amazing never-before-seen images of the Italian legend from his early days popping bicycle wheelies right through to his clash with Casey Stoner in the 2008 MotoGP championship.
Starting with an introduction on Valentino by his Grand Prix-winning father Graziano, the publication goes on to look at the making of a legend, and how a skinny kid from Tavullia, Italy, went on to dominate the world of motorcycle racing.
Read all about Rossi's biggest influences and heroes, look back at his crowd-pleasingly eccentric post-race celebrations and take a trip into the psyche of a riding god as Rossi reveals his thoughts on speed.
Former team mate Colin Edwards talks about Rossi's riding and uses his unique position and experience to explain just what it is that puts him in a different league, and Rossi's best mate and right hand man Uccio is interviewed on life in the paddock and his relationship with childhood friend Valentino.
Rossi is famous for his style and expression, so see a visual history of Rossi's career, painted on the bikes he rode, the helmets he wore and the intimately personal custom stickers he's known for.
This is a must-have collectable, and a tribute to Rossi as colourful as the man himself.
