New book: Moto GP Yesterday & Today

Moto GP Yesterday & Today by Michael Scott

As Valentino Rossi says in the foreward, from day one, the spirit of racing has never changed. In one of the last surviving gladiatorial sports, motorcycle racers still strive to be the best by being the strongest, the fastest and often risk everything by being the bravest. This has never changed, but nearly everything else in Moto GP has.

Over 191 pages, Michael Scott covers the then and now aspect of absolutely everything from riders and riding, to machines, tracks, safety, females and the media. All of this is illustrated by countless great images juxtaposing the past and present. 

Whether you are seven or seventy, if you have the slightest interest in Moto GP, this book is a must have on your winter coffee table. I’d love to have it in my Xmas stocking but I'm lucky as this one is already on my lap. Moto GP Yesterday & Today is published by Carlton Books and has a RRP of £20 but you'll find one on Amazon much cheaper.
