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.

Just about half way through your book, finding it a
really good, enjoyable read.
Eye opener on how tough it is for privateer riders to get up there.
Now reading about your 1st American GP.
Can't wait to give the book to my Dad to read.

Absolutely fantastic book
Absolutely fantastic book - it had me gripped the whole way through. It gives a real insight into the glory days of MX and is also full of amusing antidotes - I would thoroughly recommend this book!

This is the 4 fourth and fifth copy I have purchased from Rob. When people read it who have never competed in any form of off road riding, yet have been totally engrossed in the quality of the product and the content. It’s says a lot. My other friends that competed in Robs time in his career, although never left Australia. Have been involved in Moto Cross since that Era have been absolutely totally engrossed in the history they got to witness personally. Andrew Styles
