Equally important, Cameron goes beyond technological issues to show how intense competition and input from the world’s best riders all contributed to the design choices that ultimately led to today’s MotoGP winners. Cameron also shows how the technological advances that produced MotoGP champions quickly make their way into production sportbikes, with lessons learned during one year’s racing season shaping the design of the next year’s production bikes.
Accompanying Cameron’s text are vividly detailed illustrations by Pepe Burgaleta showing each bike in profile, and handsome historic photographs of on-track action. Together they form a connected narrative of the evolution of the engines, chassis, brakes, and tires used in World Championship racing.
Noted for his ability to explain complex physics or engineering principles in terms of everyday experience, Cameron is well known to motorcycle enthusiasts through his long career as a journalist. He is the technical editor of Cycle World and began writing for its predecessor, Cycle, in 1973. His knowledge of motorcycle technology and history also reflect his earlier experience building and tuning racing bikes. Illustrator Pepe Burgaleta is editor-in-chief of the Spanish monthly magazine La Moto, which originally published the illustrations featured in the book.
