Anybody else read this? got it for my birthday last week and have just about finished it. I have always been a fan of his since seeing him in 125 race at donnington - he just oozes talent, but comes across as a to55er in the book, especially in the chapter about the suzuka 8 hours where they do everything to annoy their hosts - the japanese. Maybe its just me and we should expect some juvenile behaviour, immaturity and big headedness, anyone else got any thoughts?
I thought very much the same to be honest. I've got half way through it, and I must admit I've put it back on the bookshelf. The whole book I thought was disappointing. Although, with these types of book, you have to expect a major big up on ones self. He does come across as big headed, and a right royal pratt. Then again, his racing makes up for this.
Comapred to the likes of Hizzy, Hodgson, Dunlop and Foggy's books etc, this was well below par compared.
I agree. I thought Rossi's book was not that good. Very repeatative especially about his split from Honda. I'm reading Toseland's book at the moment. My 15 year old daughter buys them and I get to read them.
well, if oi get that rossi darhn moi local sayin fings loik duca'is are loik ondas oi'l say " oi rossi nah duca'is are not loik 'ondas" and give the li''le cherub a clip rahn the lughole an' send'im on is way back to the west end.
