Hitting The Apex

A wonderful documentary that came out just as I was stopping watching MotoGP. Rossi’s era was slowly coming to a close and younger predators were vying for his position. Neale sums up the most important aspects, not forgetting to show behind the scenes friction (but still very tastefully cut) that occurred with the arrival of that lunatic Marquez. The central emotional gel is Sic’s death and respect for his legacy. Great shots and every accident hurts. Very nostalgic. Narrated by Tyler Durden, who tells of the metamorphosis of fire into speed.
