Great Reading (

[Turin]

I just finished "Stealing Speed: The Biggest Spy Scandal in Motorsport History " by Mat Oxley

It's got almost everything - Nazi's, Stasi, Racing, Espionage and you can download it for free with amazon prime.

(Guzzi is briefly mentioned so there is a tiny bit of Guzzi content)

I read it a few years ago. Tremendous true story. East German rocket scientist Walter Kaaden invents the 2 stroke expansion chamber, enabling tiny MZ to compete and win in world championship road racing. Rider Ernst Degen defects to the West and sells the technology to Suzuki, launching the era of Japanese 2 stroke GP dominance.

Yes that was a very good read.
