“MOTOCOURSE” 2008-2009 reflects the 33rd Year of Publication of this two-wheeled “Bible.” From the dust jacket cover photo of Valentino Rossi on his #46 Yamaha MotoGP rocket to the Major Results section of Worldwide Championship Racing Series, the book is a smorgasbord of motorcycle delights. Rossi tells of his championship season in the Foreword. The photography in “Motocourse” is unparalleled. Action shots, close-ups, portraits, candids…all are here and all are excellent. Included in this marvelous work are:

Moto GP
250 World Championships
125 World Championships
World Superbikes
World Supersport
American AMA Racing
British Superbikes
The Isle of Man TT
World Sidecars

Michael Scott’s Introduction, “Good Racers Make Good Racing” documents what a truly remarkable season 2008 was.

“Rossi’s return to reclaim the crown was a great achievement, because the competition was fiercer than any he had faced in his career. The depth of talent is reminiscent of the Golden Age of the late 1980s and early 1990s, spanning such greats as Lawson, Spencer, Gardner, Rainey, Schwantz and Doohan. It is good racers who make good racing. We are in a period rich in good racers.”
