A brand new, official documentary relives the historymaking moments from the premier class over 10 years, with archive track action, new interviews with the stars and contributions from the most famous voices in MotoGP.
Available now from Duke, A Decade in MotoGP features action-packed race and test footage, behind-the-scenes access, brand new, exclusive interviews and contributions from experts as we re-examine the on and off-track incidents which defined the first decade of the post-500cc era.
Racing heroes Valentino Rossi, Casey Stoner, Jorge Lorenzo, Nicky Hayden, Loris Capirossi and Toni Elias look back on the unforgettable moments, along with former racers Mick Doohan, Alex Criville and Steve Parrish.
Team directors, crew chiefs and top mechanics offer their recollections and expert analysis alongside leading MotoGP journalists and commentators including Julian Ryder, Toby Moody and Matthew Roberts.
All the MotoGP magic is here; the story of the intense and bitter rivalry between Rossi and Sete Gibernau, including the infamous last corner pass at Spain in 2005, the dramatic road to title success for 2006 World Champion Hayden and the almost unbelievable journey to victory for Stoner and Ducati in 2007.
The great races are recalled, including Ducati’s first win of the 990cc era, Olivier Jacque’s awesome second place for Kawasaki in 2005, the rain-hit 2007 Japanese Grand Prix, Rossi’s debut win for Yamaha and the unforgettable 2008 Laguna Seca showdown between The Doctor and Stoner.
Of course, the Rossi versus Lorenzo rivalry is here, including that dramatic last corner pass at the 2009 Catalan Grand Prix and the stunning 2010 Japanese race.
Crashes have played their part during the decade, and we remember Rossi’s leg-breaking fall, the 2006 pile-up at Catalunya and the clash between Dani Pedrosa and Hayden which nearly ended the American’s title ambitions.
Although the story comes right into 2011, this documentary was completed before the tragic events of the Malaysian Grand Prix in which Marco Simoncelli lost his life. However, his headline-grabbing moves of earlier in the season, which made him one of the year’s stars, are included.
A Decade in MotoGP also examines how Rossi’s Ducati struggles reignited the simmering rivalry with 2011 World Champion Casey Stoner.
Re-live the best highlights of the last decade of MotoGP, featuring the best racing action and interviews from all the top riders, crew chiefs and top jouranlists. The DVD features a significant amount of Rossi racing action which goes to show how successful and popular Valentino Rossi was in the last 10 years!
