From the Back Cover
This is the fast lane and they all dance inside a ring of fire. . . .
In Ring of Fire, the first book to cover the whole of the MotoGP era, Rick Broadbent provides an insider’s behind-the-scenes account of the acclaim, heroism, pressures, and danger of racing on two wheels at 200 miles per hour. At its center is Valentino Rossi, the brilliant, ruthless, and eccentric Italian megastar who has ridden his otherworldly talent and skill to nine World Championships—and counting—including seven in MotoGP’s premier class. Intertwined with Rossi’s tale is the story of the sport’s many stars, past and present, a collection of fascinating personalities forged by speed, danger, and competition into modern-day gladiators who put their lives on the line every Grand Prix weekend. Rossi’s long list of rivals—Max Biaggi, Sete Gibernau, Casey Stoner, Nicky Hayden, Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo, and others—are all profiled with Broadbent’s insightful observations and keen eye for the telling detail. Ring of Fire is an intense and engrossing journey into the world of MotoGP.
From the Inside Flap
Ring of Fire: The Inside Story of Valentino Rossi and MotoGP intertwines the stories of two of the sport’s greatest riders—current megastar Valentino Rossi and 1960s legend Mike Hailwood—painting a revealing portrait of the racers, personalities, and behind-the-scenes intrigue from both eras. Packed with engaging character studies and unforgettable anecdotes, this book takes the reader into the world of MotoGP like never before.
