Motivato da un intrigante video su YouTube, che ogni appassionato di motocross dovrebbe vedere, ho ricevuto un libro autobiografico su un pilota di spicco. Il libro racconta il suo viaggio nel motocross, a partire dalla sua prima esposizione alle moto da fuoristrada, passando per gli anni da giovanissimo, fino alle gare di 500 GP, con un capitolo dedicato al tracciato di Namur. È sia intrattenente che illuminante, offrendo spunti sul mondo delle corse e sulla vita di un pilota professionista negli anni '80. L'ho assaporato per dieci giorni durante le festività; era così coinvolgente che avrei voluto non finisse mai.
