More about the book
MotoGP is the top class of motorcycle racing, the two-wheeled equivalent of Formula 1. It arrived in 2002 to replace the old 500cc GP class, and the big Japanese and Italian factories all fielded 990cc four-strokes. The bikes developed so rapidly that engine capacity was reduced to 800cc after just five years.This book records those five seasons through the lenses of the sport's finest photographers. It is a year-by-year record of the racing as well as a collection of truly amazing photos arranged to illustrate all aspects of the sport. Julian Ryder, British Eurosport's MotoGP commentator and the author of the annual "MotoGP Season Review," has selected the images and written the accompanying commentary.
