The Motorcycle Files
kicks off with a DVD programme on what many people still
consider to be the ultimate racing motorcycles - the
mighty 990cc machines that contested the initial seasons
of the MotoGP series before the maximum capacity for the
class was reduced to 800cc in 2007. Spectators,
journalists, TV viewers and even multiple World
Champion, Valentino Rossi, complained that the capacity
reduction was a big mistake. |
Check out the original big bikes that had
so strong an appeal that it led to a U-turn by the
series organisers and a return to the 1000cc capacity limit.
ULTIMATE RACERS – MOTOGP990 CHAMPIONS AND CHALLENGERS
includes test action from three years of track sessions
with all major manufacturer teams involved in the
premier class of World Championship competition.
From those test sessions there also comes an up-close
and informed analysis of the championship-winning bikes
and all of their serious challengers by world-famous and
award-winning motorcycle journalist, Alan Cathcart.
Alan Cathcart began track testing factory team MotoGP
machines from the very first season that the class began
and recalls how the 990cc bikes developed over a
five-year period. Spend test days with him at Sepang and
Valencia as he rides and evaluates the team bikes from
Ducati, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha.
Hear from team managers and star riders like World
Champions Casey Stoner and Nicky Hayden of the Ducati
squad and Suzuki team riders Loris Capirossi and Chris
Vermeulen as they discuss the challenges of MotoGP
racing.
And finally, view footage provided for The Motorcycle
Files by Aprilia, Ducati, Suzuki, Yamaha and Shell
Oils to gain an insight into MotoGP from the
manufacturer viewpoint.
