500cc World Champions - The story of the class of kings (Haynes H845)

Following the success of Julian Ryder?s World Superbike Winners, here is a book celebrating the entire story of the 500cc winners. From 2002 this Blue Riband class was open to a new category of motorcycle, 990cc four-strokes, thus changing the character of Grand Prix racing overnight. This book, packed with anecdote and action, chronicles the ?true? 500cc top riders, from the early days when the World Championship was founded in 1949, right through to 2001 title winner Valentino Rossi.
