*From the acclaimed author of Ragged Edge*

Road racers don't race for money; they race for the sheer rush of it. Skimming stone walls at speeds of over 200mph on bumpy, treacherous public roads with no room for errors offers a buzz like nothing else on earth. This is sport at its rawest, fastest, and most lethal.

The Isle of Man TT and motorcycle road racing events like the North West 200, the Ulster Grand Prix, the Macau Grand Prix, and the Cookstown 100 are known for their uncompromising brutality and provide some of the greatest highs and the most tragic of lows seen in any sporting field. There are only three possible outcomes for riders: win, lose, or die. It's that basic; it's that savage.

Over the years, some of the biggest names in motorcycle racing have tackled 'pure roads' events, including Geoff Duke, Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini, Joey Dunlop, Carl Fogarty, and even the great Barry Sheene. Their modern counterparts, like John McGuinness and Michael Dunlop, continue to push speeds higher and higher, the risks increasing with every mph gained, year on year. Faster, faster, faster.

Through a host of exclusive interviews with riders, mechanics, team bosses, and race organisers, Win, Lose or Die takes readers behind the scenes of one of the world's most dangerous sports, revealing the triumphs and tragedies, the blood, the guts, the sweat, and the tears that are involved in winning a road race. This is extreme sport at its most extreme and the definitive look at the biggest, most lethal, motorcycle road races from around the world. Engineering Extreme Sports Motor Sports Sports Racing

like stuart barkers books loved the last one. however was annoyed when it said micheal Dunlop is the oldest brother? hes the youngest. thats wrong and made me take the rest of the book as potentially not accurate and noticed a few bits of information wrong. only small errors but a auther of this caliber and category I was disappointed and left skeptical about the accuracy. still a great listen. Just a bit irritating if you spot the in accurracys
