Overview

The inside story of six fighters – six of the fastest motorcycle racers of all time – and of the fates that awaited them at the peak of the sport. It's the story of what is at stake for all of them: all that can be won, and all that can be lost, when you go chasing glory at over two hundred miles an hour – on a motorcycle. But this documentary is also an opportunity to understand the passionate relationship that links the pilots, the technical teams and the legions of fans to the spirit of GP Moto.

01:06:18 So that was like an accumulation of penalties.

01:22:53 On Friday evening he was worried because his face was all swollen.

01:29:18 Pedrosa was second ahead of Marquez.

01:34:06 We did wonder if we would ever see him win a grand prix again.

01:39:24 Dani, Valentino and Marc.

01:45:51 I say this is a fucking bastard.

01:55:49 MAN: Good morning. Hi Marc, how are you?

02:00:00 I passed a lot of time with him.

02:03:50 You know, I already said in the past and I will say now

02:09:42 But, you know, I think now completely different.
