With the speed and precision characteristic of the sport, the MotoGP Season Review 2010, published by Haynes, hits the shelves on Thursday 18 November 2010 - just two weeks after the final World Championship race.

Published in association with MotoGP rights holder Dorna SL, this is an officially licensed book and the only annual publication devoted exclusively to MotoGP.

Author and British Eurosport commentator Julian Ryder catalogues a fascinating season that saw Valentino Rossi's reign end and Spain's Jorge Lorenzo steam ahead to take the Championship with three races still to go.

This lavishly illustrated book covers 216 pages with stunning race shots, race-by-race reports and statistics as well as in depth technical analysis from expert Neil Spalding.

Now firmly established in its seventh year of publication, the MotoGP Season Review 2010 includes the annual favourite 'Riders' Rider of the Year.' To reveal who the MotoGP riders themselves judge to be the fastest of them all, the editorial team polled every rider who has taken part in more than one race, asking them to list their top six men. Not surprisingly, Ben Spies finished higher in this poll than he did in the Championship.

For the first time, the MotoGP Season Review 2010 also includes a major technical feature detailing Moto2, which replaced 250cc this year. The 14 page chapter offers detailed technical analysis reflecting the success of the new class and featuring 17 year old Scott Redding from Gloucester.
