The story of one of the greatest classic races of world motorcycling is told in these pages through the writings of those who lived those moments, through thirteen interviews with pilots that over the years won the race and through more than 400 photographs, a reference system mostly unpublished and of remarkable documentary value.
The 200 Miglia di Imola, conceived and strongly desired by Francesco Costa, said 'Checco', was inspired by the almost eponymous Daytona 200, which, in 1972, it ran for about ten years (heir to a glorious competition of another route, born in the period between the wars), and had the goal to innovate the weary European motorcycling schemes.
The goal was fully achieved and the Imola race attracted the best drivers in the world, which competed in this race with big bikes (750 cc). Every year, for almost a decade, he represented an exceptional event, run by tens of thousands of fans who came to crowd all over the autodrome, then known as Dino Ferrari, to see their champions whiz under their own eyes, in many cases in the true sense of the word, since the security measures of those years were much milder than today, as it argues in the many images of the public that during the races was also located on the track.
This, and many other aspects of the race, as the technical development of motorcycles, apparel and track, as well as the behavior and character of each driver, emerge with clarity in the pages of this book, fully translated into English for those fans of other countries who want to learn or relive the most exciting moments of a race that has crowned 13 times, in turn, the best riders in the world.
