By Rob Hull MotoGP 01 November 2008 10:30 To celebrate the launch of MCN’s exclusive 132 page Valentine Rossi tribute bookazine available on November 11, we’ll be bringing you a Valentino Rossi helmet of the day for you to poll on. The MCN bookazine is a celebration of the career of the man himself with exclusive words written by Valentino and an introduction from the eight-time World Champion and his father, Graziano Rossi. Priced at £7.99, it’s a limited edition glossy title written by the top names in the Grand Prix paddock – a must for every MotoGP and Valentino Rossi fan. You can find it in newsagents from November 12 - or you can order your copy direct from Tower by calling 0845-6012672 or by visiting www.subscription.co.uk/products/rossi (Quote code: ROSI). An extra charge for postage and packaging applies to mail order purchases. Keep your eye on the Rossi lid of the day, as on November 11 we’ll be running a very special competition for one MCN online reader to win a Rossi replica AGV K3 helmet and ten runners-up will get a copy of the Rossi book to celebrate the book launch. Today we’re bringing you the helmet worn by Valentino after winning the 2004 Australian Grand Prix, and with it his first MotoGP title for Yamaha. Rossi changed into the plain white helmet with the words ‘Che Spettacolo’ written across the back and his famous 46 across the top during the cool-down lap after beating Sete Gibernau to the chequered flag.
Starting with an introduction on Valentino by his GP-winning father Graziano, the bookazine goes on to look at the making of Rossi and how a skinny kid from Tavullia, Italy went on to dominate the world of motorcycle racing. Read all about Rossi's biggest influences and heroes, look back at a run-down of his crowd-pleasingly eccentric post-race celebrations and take a trip into the psyche of a riding god as Rossi reveals his thoughts on speed. Valentino's team mate and racing veteran Colin Edwards talks about Rossi's riding and uses his unique position and experience to explain just what it is that puts him in a different league. Plus Rossi's best mate and right hand man Uccio is interviewed on life in the paddock and his relationship with childhood friend Valentino.
Rossi is famous for his style and expression, so see a visual history of Rossi's career, painted on the bikes he rode, the helmets he wore and the intimately personal custom stickers he's known for. This limited edition bookazine is on sale now, you can find it in Asda or Sainsbury's, at your local Shell petrol station, at WH Smiths and in other good newsagents. Alternatively you can click here to order online or call 0845 6012672 (Quote code: ROSI) and get it delivered straight to your door.
