'They’re among the world’s fiercest and most courageous competitors. Veteran race reporter Darryl Flack knows his stuff and paints entertaining word portraits of his top 12. There’s plenty of enjoyment to be had wading through the better and lesser-known world champs. A winning tribute.'  – Tony Davis, motoring writer, Australian Financial Review

 

'A superb reference for any fans of Australian motorcycle racing. What stands out is the author’s choice of subjects, his vast knowledge base and style of writing.
