It's an excellent look at MotoGP from roughly 2006 - 2010, with a lot of material on Rossi. I must have watched it about ten times now. It's what got me hooked on the sport...before that I'd never paid much attention.
Anyway, it's interesting to watch with hindsight, knowing how things went w/ Rossi at Ducati (though it seems like the broken leg in 2010 was when things really started to go wrong)...knowing about Stoner's retirement...knowing about Simoncelli...etc.
I've been following the World Championship since 1966, back when they ran 125, 350 and 500s. Used to also follow the Grand National Championship in the USA until it got all broken up.
