Valentino Rossi by Mat Oxley
The book covers: why he grew up so fast and so funny, with input from his parents (father was a GP winner in the late 1970s); year-by-year career history, from riding minibikes aged 10 through to the 2003 MotoGP season - the victories, the defeats, the rivals, the crashes; the bikes, the riding techniques; how he adapted his spectacular riding style to maintain his dominance as the two-stoke 500 GP class gave way to four-stroke MotoGP for 2002; Rossi at play, post-race partying and the Valenteenieboppers who chase him around; and the infamous Rossi hairstyles, happenings and phrases.
Mat Oxley, author of the official biography Mick Doohan:Thunder from down under, knows Rossi well from ghosting his magazine columns, and has ridding the 2001 title-winning NSR500 bike. A former Isle of Man TT winner, Oxley writes for Performance Bikes and Bike. He lives in London.
