Finally, a biography about arguably the greatest motorcycle racer of all time. But is Marc Márquez – currently looking to be on his way to a seventh MotoGP crown – really the GOAT? Mick Doohan thinks so. “Marc’s talent is to a level that hasn’t been since before,” says the five-time MotoGP king. And then there’s the greatest comeback of all time, from four years of injury hell. “For me, he’s just a different breed,” adds Doohan, who also fought back from serious injury to dominate.

Mat Oxley wrote this book after interviewing dozens of paddock people who have worked with and raced against Márquez over the past two decades: Rivals, mechanics, crew chiefs, engineers, tire technicians, suspension technicians and team managers, to tell a story of remarkable talent and determination that’s never been told before.

It’s a large-format hardback book with glossy color plate sections, available for £25.00 ($34 U.S.) only from www.matoxley.bigcartel.com
