Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a compelling celebration of the life of Marco Simoncelli, the maverick motorcycle racer who lost his life in the 2011 Malaysian MotoGP race. Written by his parents, Rossella and Paolo, this book paints an intimate portrait of a rising star. Simoncelli’s final lap was as adrenaline-fuelled as the rest of his career, which was on the way up – the two races before his last were arguably two of his best. Marco’s eventful paddock life, signature ‘afro’ and close friendship with Valentino Rossi are all captured here by the words of his parents, and in 200 unique photographs of life on and off the track.
