He may be young, only 21, but he has so much to say. In this riveting book 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 very possibly a future holder of Rossi's World Champion crown. Everyone loves the non-conformists of sport and here is the personal story of genuine maverick, told with honesty and charm.
Jorge Lorenzo's collaborator on this book is well-known Spanish journalist Ernest Riveras, who works for the Spanish TV channel TVE and lives in Barcelona.
How Lorenzo reached the top from working-class roots. Encouraged by his father from infancy - his first bike had its front brake removed so he could only slow down by sliding it. 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 - marred the mid-season but he bounced back towards the end of the year. One of the MotoGP favourites for 2009, when he will continue as World Champion Valentino Rossi's team-mate at Fiat Yamaha.
