Valentino Rossi: Portrait of a Speed God

US Books > Nonfiction > Automotive > Racing

Fabulous full-color photographs capture the larger-than-life character of arguably the greatest motorcycle racer of all time and one of the world’s most charismatic sporting personalities, both on and off the track. Rossi’s life is charted from his earliest days, following his graduation through the ranks, winning the 125, 250 and 500 World Championships, to his domination of the 200mph MotoGP class, first with Honda and then in 2004 and 2005 with the previously under performing Yamaha squad. This is a visual treat for all who appreciate Rossi’s talent and take on life in this age of conformist motor sport.
