Takes the reader in to the emotions, conflicts and tensions at the heart of top-level motorcycle racing, and reveals intimate and thoughtful insight into the author's own journey to the top of his sport as team-mate to the great Valentino Rossi - and quite possibly a future holder of Rossi's World Champion crown.

He may be young, only 22, but he has so much to say. In this riveting book, updated for this paperback edition to include a new chapter covering the 2009 season, MotoGP's brightest new star, Jorge Lorenzo, tells it straight, taking the reader straight to the emotions, conflicts and tensions at the heart of top-level motorcycle racing, as well as revealing intimate and thoughtful insight into his own journey to the top of his sport as team-mate to the great Valentino Rossi - and quite possibly a future holder of Rossi's World Champion crown. Everyone loves the non-conformists of sport and here is the personal story of a genuine maverick, told with honesty and charm.

Jorge Lorenzo's collaborator on this book is well-known Spanish journalist Ernest Riveras Tobia, who is lead commentator on MotoGP for the Spanish national television network TVE, and lives in Barcelona.

Updated to include Lorenzo's superb 2009 season, in which he won four races and finished second behind team-mate Rossi in the World Championship. How Lorenzo reached the top from working-class roots, encouraged by his father from infancy. The winner of two successive 250cc World Championships, in 2006 and 2007. His 2008 MotoGP season saw a start of unprecedented brilliance for a rookie, with three consecutive pole positions and, in the third race, his first victory. Huge crashes - the worst a massive 'highside' at Laguna Seca in 2008 - and accompanying injuries have punctuated his first two MotoGP seasons.
