The Inside Line: Racing the 500cc World Motocross Championship is the critically-acclaimed new book by British former 500 GP racer Rob Andrews. Have you ever wondered what it must have been like to race in the 500cc motocross GPs during their 1980s heyday? 'The Inside Line' tells you. Tracing Rob's journey from complete beginner, through to factory Kawasaki rider, GP contender, and Motocross des Nations team member, The Inside Line goes where no book has gone before: deep into the heart of life as a professional motocross racer. Superbly illustrated with nearly 400 pictures from some of the finest photographers in the industry, it takes the reader on a fascinating odyssey of insight and intrigue. Learn the inner workings of the grand prix motocross world, get answers to long-pondered questions, and discover things you never knew. There are facts that will surprise you, anecdotes that will make you laugh, and honest, never-before-published information. Find out how it felt to race against motocross legends on the world’s most famous circuits. Discover what it was like to race a full-factory 500 for Team Kawasaki. Learn how the riders lived, travelled, trained, and practiced while on the road. And even read how many in the close-knit GP paddock were ripped-off in an elaborate, multi-million-pound financial scam. Seriously. It happened. Join Rob as he guides you - in his own words - through the jubilant highs and occasionally devastating lows of his journey from raw novice all the way to the biggest stage of all: the world motocross championship. And by the end you’ll understand just what it was like - and what it took - to be a grand prix racer.

Excellent experience purchasing The Inside line
The initial response off Rob via Instagram and then the personal message and signature off Rob which was awesome.
The response time from order to delivery (Especially Living in Melbourne) was great. Also the price considering the quality of the book was amazing.

The inside line
The fact that I had difficulty to start with trying to order the book but took advice, was then able to order the book which then arrived the next day. It was a book my grown-up son had wanted for a long time so he was thrilled to receive it for Christmas.

I’m 59 years old and remember watching Rob in his prime and was always impressed with his smooth technique, I love the sport and still turn out in the Vets. This book is such a great read and takes you into the real workings and graft all the racers went through to even get to the line. Love it and cannot recommend it enough. Thank you Rob.

Inside Line
After an injury at a recent vets motocross I thought on the plus side I’ll have time to read Rob Andrews book The inside Line not much of a reader once I started I couldn’t put the book down. Great to relive Robs experience as a 500GP motocross rider and life on the road something I’d have loved to experience as a rider although I did get to visit Namur as a spectator Namur being another great part of the book. Thanks Rob great read
