Isn't it great too, that he acknowledges Valentino Rossi...I am sure Mike would have thought him the greatest.
Frankly, there has never been anyone so totally naturally talented, so down to earth about it, and still a nice guy...Mike would definitely have liked him...look out Schui (he's had a fright anyway with Alonso!

Got the book "The Art of Motorcycle Racing" right here, it was my bible, the paper jacket is a bit tatty and oily with the price 21/net 'shillings', one pound ten pence in new money on the inside.

Great book from the best years of racing.

Mike was my hero and despite his father's money he was a normal person.
