Summary:

Experience the sheer emotion and exhilaration of MotoGP in this revealing, access-all-areas look inside the sport.

Twenty-two individuals split by technique, guile, millions of euros of technical development and only slivers of a second on the racetrack. Welcome to the sensational world of MotoGP and the highly pressurized environment of personal risk at 225mph.

In Motorcycle Grand Prix, journalist Adam Wheeler takes readers inside the 75-year-old FIM World Championship, with all the electric stories, sights and personalities that feature in this annual gauntlet of twenty rounds and seventeen countries across eleven months. Moving from the track into the heat and hum of pitboxes, nervy pre-race grids and tense press conferences, it offers fans unprecedented access to MotoGP’s inner circle.

Featuring exclusive interviews with the biggest names in MotoGP like Pecco Bagnaia, Jorge Martin, Brad Binder, Jack Miller and reflections on Valentino Rossi, Marc Márquez and Cal Crutchlow, as well as insights with experts and management from companies at the highest levels of MotoGP: this is a globe-spanning account of life near the pinnacle of one of the world’s most intense and popular motorsports.
