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.

What a great book
What a great book. Found the motocross life in 1973 as a thirteen-year-old and it has stuck to me ever since. Still riding and racing always will. Most of the time I will reread parts just because I have felt the same things even at small local events that you talk about in this book. a real treasure thanks so much for sharing this experience with the world.
