Motorcycle racing is the pure rock and roll sport, a multi-faceted kaleidoscope of colours, sounds, smells and – most important of all – the full range of human emotions. Every player, from our Grand Wizard and ringmaster Valentino to the legions of committed fans packing the grandstands, contribute to the intoxicating atmosphere of a grand prix weekend. This wonderful book captures the fantasy of MotoGP in all its glorious majesty – the stuff that television fails to deliver! Through the pages of ‘A Life in the Fast Lane’ fans can feel the emotional rollercoaster ride of a full world championship season. I have enjoyed the good fortune to have spent almost my entire working life in motorcycle racing, the greater part in grand prix racing, and this book captures the spirit of the sport like no other.
