"Overall, the movie was done well. I just haven't figured out why Valentino Rossi was bypassed for interviews when his name is in the title of the documentary, yet other motorcyclists that are not in the title received plenty of air time. Since Valentino Rossi is the biggest name in MotoGP, how can you leave him out?
I do, however feel that there was a lot of pertinent information given, especially for a newbie like me that is just learning about this competitive sport."

"If you already saw Faster by Mark Neale, (which is excellent), this is a bit disappointing. Interviews are OK, but the race wasnt one of the better MotoGP races that year."
The Doctor, the Tornado, and the Kentucky Kid

"This was an outstanding accounting of the race. I know, because I was there. The program captured all of the complexity, engineering and courage needed to compete, and the additional CD with the recordings of the bike cameras was fabulous."
Hated it

"I love motogp, but when i watched this, i found it very slighted and biased toward American racer Nicky Haden. who cares, just because he won once. it says "the doctor, the tornado and the kentucky kid" not just the kentucky kid, which was all this film was about.
lame."
Great stuff if you're a fan.

"A great in-depth look at what happens at a MotoGP weekend. Very interesting if you're already a fan and could make some new ones. McGreggor does a good job narrating this one, as he did on the first."
