IOWA CITY, Iowa, March 8, 2016 – Jorge Lorenzo, Valentino Rossi, Marc Marquez, and the rest of the superstars of the MotoGP World Championship are put under the microscope in the newly-released ebook, Scout’s Guide to MotoGP 2016.
Inside SGMGP16, the styles, strengths, and weaknesses of the world’s most talented Grand Prix racers are broken down in excruciating detail. The technique, talent, and tendencies of the sport’s titans and would-be kings are ranked and dissected, with areas of advantage celebrated and vulnerabilities exposed. Every ranking and scouting report is based upon information gleaned via exhaustive interviews with an all-star panel of leading MotoGP insiders, including highly-decorated racers, team managers, and journalists.
Scout’s Guide to MotoGP 2016 (168 pages, $2.99) was written by motorcycle racing journalist Chris Martin with long-time Grand Prix journalist Colin Young in support. It was designed with smartphones and tablets in mind and is also available to be read on a Mac or PC with Amazon’s free Kindle app. It features a simple and clean layout so that it can be read quickly and easily on any device, whether the reader wants to dig in and study its contents or simply use it as a quick reference guide while watching this season’s MotoGP races.
“I’m really excited to finally get this out in the world,” said Martin. “Motorcycle racing journalism has been my life since the late ’90s. Actually, it was the only ‘real’ post-college job I ever had until I transitioned to more long-form writing a couple years back. During that time, I’ve had both a special operations book (Modern American Snipers (St. Martin’s Press)) and the first in a military science fiction series (Engines of Extinction) published, but I had been aching to get back to do some motorcycle racing journalism for some time. The move away from the 365-day grind of breaking news and race reports finally put me in a position to properly attack an idea I’ve had for years, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how it’s turned out. NFL, NBA, and MLB fans eat this sort of thing up, and I think motorcycle racing fans will too once they get a taste. I considered the supercross guide we released earlier this year to be a major creative triumph, and the MotoGP ebook is bigger and better yet.”
