Riassunto

VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF BOOKS SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR

Ian Hutchinson Hutchy to his many thousands of fans is a motorcycle racer like few others. A road racer to the core, he has enjoyed spectacular success, notably at the Isle of Man TT, but his own story goes far beyond even those triumphs.

In the summer of 2010, Hutchy set the record for most wins in a single TT festival five in all having already won the Supersport class at the North West 200 in Northern Ireland. Then disaster struck. At a British Supersport round at Silverstone in September that year, he crashed heavily and was struck by another rider s machine, breaking his left leg so badly that at one stage it was feared it might have to be amputated. After many surgical operations and a long period of recovery, he fractured the same leg in 2012 while practising exhibition-riding for a motorcycle show.

Yet not even these disasters could keep the Yorkshireman from racing. After modifications to the rear-brake and gear levers on his race machines, he went out and won the 2013 Macau Grand Prix. Two years later saw an even more staggering return to form, when he secured three wins, a second and a third place at the 2015 Isle of Man TT, also winning the Joey Dunlop TT Championship Trophy for that year. And 2016 was to prove even better.

.Honest, brave and quirkily amusing, Hutchy: Miracle Man presents Hutchy s own accounts and opinions with those of various celebrated figures from the world of motorcycle racing. It is a book not only for fans of road racing, but for anyone interested in the life and career of a brilliant rider and an extraordinarily brave and enduring man, justly popular not just for his achievements, but for his unassuming modesty, kindness and humour.

L'autore:

IAN HUTCHINSON'S co-author, Ted Macauley, is a journalist, columnist and broadcaster, and the author of twelve books, most of them on his favourite sport motorcycle racing. He was the legendary Mike Hailwood's manager and organiser of the great man s historic and unforgettable winning comeback at the Isle of Man TT in 1978 and again on his successful return in 1979.

Macauley was awarded the much-prized Seagrave Medal by the Royal Automobile Club, the first journalist to have been so honoured, for his part in Mike the Bike s sensational return to the TT, aged thirty-nine and after an eleven-year absence from the dangerous Mountain Circuit. He was also voted Journalist of the Year.

He is currently F1 writer for the Daily Star Sunday and columnist for Gulf News Dubai after a long term as, first, Motor Cycle Grand Prix specialist, then Formula One reporter and, finally, Chief Sports Feature Writer for the Daily Mirror.
