A must-read for MotoGP fans: Valentino Rossi presented his biography

Whilst the MotoGP World Championship is gearing up for the final two rounds of the year in Portimão and Valencia, Valentino Rossi also had a very special engagement. The nine-time world champion was in Milan, where ‘Vale’ officially launched his own biography, entitled ‘La mia storia’. The book has been authorised by Rossi himself.

The comprehensive volume, running to several hundred pages, has been published by the Italian publishing house Rizzoli, with Giorgio Terruzzi acting as ghostwriter. During the book launch, Rossi spoke with Terruzzi on stage in high spirits about individual passages from the book, which has been available since 10 November. The book covers his career, his rivalries and his private life with his two daughters. The cover is simple – it features a black-and-white portrait of the motorcycling maestro.

Numerous friends of Rossi were also present at the book launch in a large theatre in Milan, including his mate Alessandro ‘Uccio’ Salucci and the musician and singer Cesare Cremonini. Rossi himself was accompanied by his partner, Francesca Sofia Novello. Representatives from Rossi’s favourite football club, Inter Milan of Italy’s Serie A, were also present at the launch in the theatre and subsequently presented Rossi with an original shirt bearing the number 46.

The brand-new Rossi biography is available in selected bookshops, can be ordered online and is also available directly from the VR46 shop in Tavullia. There, Rossi unveiled the first copies in advance in a video clip. ‘La mia storia’ is currently also available in a French version.
