Lorenzo dominated the 2010 season by winning nine of the 18 MotoGP races and finishing on the podium 16 times.

There are over 200 carefully selected photographs in the book and they go right back to Lorenzo's childhood and formative years in 125cc and 250cc racing, as well as all of the up-to-date action and memorable races - and crashes.

Lorenzo's collaborator on this book is well-known Spanish journalist Ernest Riveras Tobia, who is lead commentator on MotoGP for the Spanish national television network TVE, and lives in Barcelona. The English translation is once again the work of Matt Roberts, one of BBC TV's MotoGP commentary team.
