Ring of Fire is an insider?s account of the acclaim, heroism and pressures of being a MotoGP racer. It is a high-octane revelation of the feuds, danger, politics and adrenaline inside MotoGP World Motorcycling Championship.

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.
