DESCRIPTION:
A visual treat for all who appreciate Rossi's talent and take on life in this age of conformist motorsport personalities.. Over 250 fabulous full-color photographs capture the larger-than-life character of one of the world's most charismatic sporting personalities, both on- and off-track. Here is a glorious photographic biography of arguably the greatest motorcycle racer of all time. Rossi's life is charted from his earliest days, following in his racer father's wheeltracks, his graduation through the ranks, winning the 125, 250 and 500 World Championships, to his domination of the 200mph MotoGP class, first with Honda, then in 2004 with the previously underperforming Yamaha squad
