Valentino Rossi: MotoGenius by Mat Oxley
Now published as a mass-market paperback, the fourth edition of this best-selling book includes a complete new chapter and photographs to cover the 2005 season and Rossi's fifth consecutive MotoGP title. After quitting the dominant Honda factory at the end of 2003 for the unfancied Yamaha outfit, Rossi proved that he could still quell the opposition. Beating off the Honda hordes, the popular Italian left his former bosses with seriously red faces. Rossi's achievements on the Yamaha have stunned even the sport's most cynical observers, convincing them that here is indeed the greatest bike rider ever.
