James Toseland is one of the hottest properties in motorsport. Two times World Superbike Champion, James is ready to take on the best riders in the world in his first season in MotoGP. As the only British rider in the 2008 competition, the country's hopes rest firmly on James' shoulders. James gives a unique insight into what it's like to compete at the very top level. What are his hopes and fears as he enters his first season? What does he think about the competition, including current champion Casey Stoner and the legendary Valentino Rossi? And what's it really like being part of the MotoGP circus, with sponsorship commitments and international travel, not to mention the 'bikes and birds' lifestyle? Packed with stunning photographs from every race of the season, as well as events off the track, James' account gives an honest picture of the highs, lows and inevitable crashes of a season in MotoGP.
