One of the questions that I have been asked most frequently since my retirement from racing is whether team ownership can ever replace the thrill of winning a race as a rider Well, the answer is definitely ‘No!’ And in this book, which focuses on my winning and the sheer emotion I felt passing that chequered flag in first place, it should be obvious for all to see. It wasn’t riding at incredible speeds or getting my knee down through a corner, it was knowing I was the best. These pictures show that I was never one to hide my emotions, and how my single-mindedness might not have made me the most popular rider in the paddock while I was racing. Nowadays all the riders seem to be friends but there was usually a tension in the air when I was racing. I had to make myself almost hate my rivals so that I would be even more determined to beat them at whatever cost. And my fans loved it!

But, as they say, all good things must come to an end and, after the crash at Phillip Island in 2000, when I shattered my left shoulder; it was simply no longer possible to ride. Most sportsmen have to decide the best time to call it a day and retire – but the decision was made for me.
