"Matti dale gare" is a title deliberately wrong: the drivers are not crazy, rather they are masters of the calculation, because they have to administer large risks in short fractions of a second. With this premise Luca Delli Carri opens his thick volume that contains, in over 760 pages, sixty interviews with leading figures of Italian motorcycling. A succession of stories dense, deep, exciting, recounting the exploits but also men protagonists from 1947 to the present day. From enterprise Masetti until Biaggi, passing Agostini, Lega and the two Rossi, Graziano and Valentino. There is also space for large off-road (Rinaldi, Maddii, Gritti ...) and also to men who work behind the scenes.
