This is the new, fourth edition of a fabulous visual study celebrating motorcycle racing's main man: Valentino Rossi. Its 224 pages of dazzling photography illustrate his high-speed life from his earliest days on minibikes to his current position as MotoGP legend and occasional WRC and F1 car driver.

Rossi is arguably one of the greatest motorcycle racers of all time, a larger-than-life character and one of the world's most charismatic sporting personalities, both on- and off-track.

Written by one of the best bike racing journalists in the business Valentino Rossi - Portrait of a Speed God chronicles each stage of his remarkable career and much, much more, covering his infamous victory celebrations, his bone- crunching crashes, his worshipping fans, his bitter rivals, his state-of-the-art machinery and his outrageous helmet designs. From stunning racetrack images to hilarious behind-the-scenes photos, this book provides a unique portrait of a unique star.

A visual treat for all who appreciate Rossi's talent and take on life in this age of conformist motorsport.
