MotoGP Riding Secrets is loaded with exclusive interviews with the stars, behind-the scenes access, stunning race action, shocking spills and awesome on-bike footage. It covers every aspect of racing, from mental preparation to winning, with the racing heroes themselves explaining how they compete.
We would all love a lesson in riding from the great Valentino Rossi, and now we can have one. The Doctor describes how he copes with challenging weather conditions, overtakes – which he says is ‘the funniest part of motorcycle racing’ – and feels when he wins, something he’s had plenty of opportunity to experience in ‘08!
Casey Stoner is also on hand to let viewers in on how his dirt bike experience has prepared him to cope with changing track conditions and sliding his monster Ducati, and how he has dealt with the pressure of carrying the cherished Number One plate as World Champion.
Jorge Lorenzo, whose debut season wowed fans, offers a fascinating insight into his race preparations – including revealing how Sylvester Stallone has inspired him. Fellow star ‘rookie’ James Toseland, the two-times World Superbike Champion and one of the sensations of the ‘08 season, reveals his strict training regime, and how his weight-lifting uncle helped him reach the peak of physical fitness.
One of the most fascinating sections sees former World Champion Nicky Hayden and his 2008 Repsol Honda team mate Dani Pedrosa exchanging thoughts on set-up – including a few differences of opinion between these two forthright characters.
It isn’t just the riders who contribute, we also hear from team members like the Rizla Suzuki crew – including Chris Vermeulen’s chief engineer Tom O’Kane. There’s also the inside story on dealing with the media, as told by the press officers and communication managers of the Fiat Yamaha, Ducati Marlboro, Kawasaki, Repsol Honda and more.
MotoGP Riding Secrets takes you under the skin of the sport as never before.
Don't buy this DVD expecting to see lots of close-action racing, it is primarily based on rider interviews on every aspect of racing but it does give you a good insight and overview of what goes on behind the scenes and how many riders prepare for each race.
