Fifty-five years of motorcycle racing, from 1947 to 2002, in the interviews of the protagonists, between sixty riders of all specialties, team manager: do not miss Finally! They were years that were expecting someone who was doing really know the stars of the racing world, beyond the interviews syncopated, always related to this or that specific episode, which we have always forced the media. "Matti dalle gare", written by journalist Luca Delli Carri, instead radically changed register than those established habits: the protagonists are the respondents and not the interviewer or her personal view, or likes and dislikes, in addition, for once these characters is left plenty of room to tell, without cuts or eliminations, with the questions that are present only as a guideline, never invasive. In addition, for every age, specialty and character there is a data sheet - complete and accurate - that frames the whole, building the frame in which you insert the interview. And so this reading really helps us understand better pilots of which we read or read every day but that despite this river of ink, we hardly know below the surface of the usual controversy or the usual declarations of obligation. As shown in fact all characters seem very poor, who do not think too talented and they know more than anything else to keep open up the throttle. And instead, this book emerge one by one - a bit 'at a time - characters of different, complex, always interesting, and - eventually - will understand better the characteristics of the race of several riders. An example: read the interview with Valentino Rossi and understand better his last race, that eventually won by Capirossi on the Ducati Desmosedici. In addition, this weighty book (over 750 pages, all to read!) Is printed and packed with care proof bibliophile and, therefore, fully justifies the 25 Euro that are used to buy it: we highly recommend it to everyone as the next companion summer holidays. Finally, a complex volume, which required its author nearly seven years of work without compromise (all interviews were conducted in direct meetings, never by phone) and which is indispensable to the library of any fan of cycling.
