Realizing that inches count sometimes... and aggressiveness is needed to win, I still don't agree with the style of racing some of these teams are using.

There is a region free Blu Ray version that I think will work. As long as you've got a Blu Ray player of course.

My wife and I went with some friends and saw the movie, and I learned a lot of things about Moto GP. Valentino Rossi seems to be a genuine nice guy, and doesn't seem to let stuff bother him much. Marc Marquez is probably a nice guy too.....just a bit too pushy and aggressive and he does a lot of bumping. I never realized just how much sliding they do in the corners....the slow motion shots really showed how often they are doing 2 wheel drifts.

My wife was on the edge of her seat a lot.....she was really concerned about how dangerous the sport is.

Definitely worth seeing.

Someday I will be old......But not today!

Watched it! WOW, what a ride!

As I thought the movie confirmed what I had suspected from researching MotoGP crash videos, the majority are from mechanical failure. nuts just happens. They're riding along and blamo, slide, skid and crash. Rider doing the WTF just happened dance. Sure, some are from bumping others, but, watching the SloMo confirms nuts just happens, all of a sudden sparks from a stretched chain and the rider is thrown. Crazy nuts
