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.

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.

The Doctor(Rossi) The Tornado(edwards) & The Kentuck Kid(hayden) Not much Kawasaki(other haydens different series) coverage of course I know they are not popular as others. Good Behind the scenes motoGp Stuff. Lots of action,Good Soundtrack.

I actually bought this for my boyfriend for a Christmas gift. We love motorcycle racing. He wanted this since it is the sequal to Faster. I watched it with him. It was interesting. I'm sure that if we didn't like motorcycle racing it wouldn't make a difference one way or the other. If you are buying this for buying this b/c you are a Rossi or Hayden fan I don't know if I would. Me being a fan of Hayden's I was kinda disappointed that they didn't go into him a whole lot. Rossi either. Most of the video seemed to be on Edwards. Which he was entertaining, I just expected it to be more of Rossi and Hayden.

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.

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.

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.

A fantastic recounting of the first american moto gp in years. The track footage is second to none, and even includes a bit of history. This is all about coming back to Laguna Seca, the race and the racers who raced it.

Very enjoyable, action packed. Follow-up to Faster movie. Great behind-the-scenes interviews, videos, and commentary. Get to know the riders you follow in the circuit. Was awesome, as I am a Doctor fan and my husband follows the Kentucky Kid.

Was a good documentary. Been watching Racing for almost 20 yrs. Love it like I did then. They dont spend as much time on the other riders as they do Rossi. I like Rossi, but this is about 3 riders not jist Rossi. It was good though
