Description

This is a captivating visual study of the 2010 MotoGP World Champion. Jorge Lorenzo - in collaboration with Matt Roberts - gathers together a wealth of photographs showing every aspect of his life in motorcycle racing and accompanies them with a sharp commentary. A special feature is the intimate photography of him both off-duty and on-track throughout his title-winning 2010 season, which saw him dominate by winning nine of the 18 MotoGP races and finishing on the podium 16 times. This book is a wonderful insight into the life of a flamboyant new star of sport.

Contents

Contains 200 carefully selected photographs, all from Lorenzo's favoured photographers at Getty Images. Special attention is given to the 2010 season, including behind-the-scenes and off-duty photographs. All the racing action: the great moments, the memorable races - and the crashes. Lorenzo's childhood and formative years in 125cc and 250cc racing are covered. Accompanying commentary provides entertainment, opinion and insight - in Lorenzo's own words. The latest in a long line of best-selling motorcycle racing autobiographies and biographies from Haynes.
