DESCRIPTION:
From Michael Scott, author of Haynes’s highly successful biography of Barry Sheene, here is a fabulous series of character studies of the premier motorcycle racers, from bomber pilot Les Graham, who won the first 500cc World Championship in 1949, to American, Nicky Hayden, boasting the Number 1 plate in 2007 MotoGP, and on to the 2007 champion. Famous names like Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini, Kenny Roberts Senior, Mick Doohan and Valentino Rossi are studies, but so are lesser-known heroes who rode the storm to brief glory.
About the AuthorMichael Scott writes brilliantly about people, most recently in the well-reviewed Barry Sheene: Motorcycle racing's jet-set superstar. He is the long-time editor of Motocourse, and lives in London.
Like the book, dislike Dorna I like the book, it's really nice for the Motorcycle racing fan. I do not like Dorna controlling every aspect around the MotoGP experience. They should concentrate on developing a competitive series where manufacturers, independent teams, sponsors and fans all win, and let independent media to cover the events and history. I dislike this "control freak" attitude.. A Must Read buck A short biography on each of the 500cc world champions from since 1949 to 2007. Great classic pictures too. No motorcycle race-lovers bookshelf is complete without this one.. Good Read For Moto GP Fan Nothing new here, but, it's all in one read, so very handy and convenient for reference. Note publication date.
