Michael Dunlop has a reputation for being the wild man of TT - often mercurial and outright dangerous. However, Road Racer reveals his emotional, human journey, taking the reader beyond the story of the sporting career of this aggressive and tenacious competitor. Michael Dunlop is quite simply the greatest road racer on the planet, with racing in his blood. For the first time he has agreed to talk in depth about his family story, how he got involved in 'the family business' and how he manages to keep getting back on his bike despite all he knows of the deadly risks he encounters every time he crosses the start line. The death of his uncle during a competition in Estonia in 2000 was followed just eight years later by the death of his father at the North West 200. But despite these tragic losses Michael was undeterred, and continued to compete to join his father and uncle in the record books. With thirteen TT wins to his name Michael is a phenomenal competitor, and in this sensational autobiography he reveals the controversy of dramatically switching teams, growing up part of a motorcycle racing dynasty and the journey that made him the incredible racing driver he is today.
