The unmistakable voice of Moto GP Valentino RossiAs The Voice of motorcycle racing for forty years, commentator Nick Harris became the biggest star not on two wheels in the paddock, and this is his mostly eyewitness, whiteknuckle account of MotoGPs scorching seventyyear history.The story starts on the Isle of Man in 1949, when Geoff Duke, with his slickedback hair and onepiece black leathers, became the nations hero, defying the odds and winning the most dangerous race in the world on a Britishbuilt Norton. Just over a decade later at Mallory Park, another British champion and one of the greatest riders of all time Mike Hailwood screamed past a young Nick Harris on his 250cc Honda, and a lifelong passion was born.Harris has been at the centre of the sport for decades, getting to know the riders as individuals, seeings feuds unfold, champions made, careers and sometimes lives ended. Well see the biggest podium stars up close, from Barry Sheene and Kenny Roberts to Valentino Rossi, and well meet the mechanics behind them, the manufacturers who poured millions into the teams, and the organisers who, in the early days, ruthlessly compromised rider safety for profits. The drama has often been as tense off the track as on it.This is the book the motorcycling world has been waiting for.
