In MotoGP Season Review 2006 Julian Ryder’s lively analysis of each event’s action is bolstered by an eye-opening and hugely informative collection of race data. Details include: qualifying times with gaps to the pole time; graphic lap-by-lap performance charts showing each rider’s progress (or slide back through the field); race-, lap-, and fastest-lap times; the average race speed for each rider; track maps with sections annotated with average speed and gear selection choices; points standings; and thumbnail reports all the riders, grouped as finishers or non-finishers.

The book’s fantastic reference content is supported by stunning photography from Andrew Northcott that offers a combination of dramatic track action and vivid scenes of the paddock and garage areas. MotoGP Season Review also presents features in which each bike is examined in detail, each rider’s season is scrutinized, and a poll in which the riders voted to decide their own “Rider of the Year”. This year’s result may surprise you.
