Speedway was a prime-time sport in the 1970s and 1980s. Its most successful riders were household names, and events would be held in venues as large as Wembley Stadium, attracting tens of thousands of spectators. In a time of only three terrestrial TV channels in the UK, you were guaranteed to find Speedway racing on one of them on a Saturday afternoon. At one point, London alone was home to 11 separate clubs. Today it has none. So what put this once-dominant sport on the slide?

Ci sono piloti che vincono, altri che restano nella Storia. Ma c'è un solo pilota che nel ricordo fa ancora battere il cuore. Ayrton Senna è stato l'ultimo mito di un'era romantica e sentimentale.

Raccontarlo oggi - scartando la banale contabilità dei trionfi - significa tornare a recitare un atto di fede.
