From the publisher:

For this third edition of MotoGP Season Review, MotoGP television commentator and 'Soup columnist Julian Ryder describes the all the year's action with the help of photographer Andrew Northcott's stunning imagery. The 207 page long, hard cover book "MotoGP Season Review" also presents essential features in which each bike is examined in detail, each rider's season is subjected to scrutiny, and there is the unique poll in which every racer who rode more than once votes to decide who is the Riders' "Rider of the Year". This year's result may surprise you. The 2006 MotoGP season marked the last year of the 990cc formula and gave the world something it had never seen before: Valentino Rossi trying to cut back another rider's points lead.

In all five of his premier GP-class World Championships, Rossi had led from the front and controlled the field. But this year it was the young American Nicky Hayden who stretched out a lead and was pursued all the way to the second-to-last race at Estoril, Portugal, where he was taken out by his own teammate, Dani Pedrosa, and left eight points behind Rossi. Hayden's challenge at Valencia was huge: take over the points lead and earn the top road racing championship at the season finale. Nicky did so in dramatic fashion, and accomplished a feat that had only been done once before in GP-class history.

This year also provided a new generation of fast and fearless young racers, including Australians Casey Stoner and Chris Vermeulen, who moved up from the 250cc class and World Superbike, respectively, and made an instant impression. Both started from pole position and stood on the rostrum in their first season in MotoGP, while two-time 250cc champion and Spanish national hero Dani Pedrosa won three races to become Rookie of the Year. Ducati's veteran rider Loris Capirossi also won three races and overcame injuries suffered at Catalunya to beat Marco Melandri to third place in the championship by a single point.

Three page spreads from the MotoGP Season Review show how this great book is formatted.
