More about the book
The battle for the 2006 MotoGP championship was one of the most dramatic in the history of Grand Prix motorcycle racing. Nicky Hayden of Owensboro, Kentucky, took his epic fight with Valentino Rossi all the way to the last race of the 17-round season, withstanding towering pressure at that final showdown while his veteran rival struggled, botching the start and crashing after five laps as he pushed to catch Hayden. The tension had been ratcheted up to an almost unbearable level. With seemingly unstoppable late-season momentum, Rossi had relentlessly chipped away at Hayden's earlier lead of 51 points. The story includes conflicts between teammates, technical problems with bikes, and controversy over how rules were applied, told in riveting detail with spectacular photographs. Features include eight-page reports on each race, the full story of each race weekend, comprehensive data, technical reviews, and analysis of every bike, along with the Rider of the Year voted by the riders themselves.
