Through fantastic photographs and well written precise text Oxley has managed to capture the larger-than-life personality of Rossi in all its mad-capped glory. Oxley focuses on Rossi as a rider and a prankster and his impact on the racing fraternity covering both his highs and occasional lows and everything in between. It's the photos that really make this book showing all sides of Rossi's racing personality and his flare for the dramatic both in riding and style.
