Synopsis:
The 2011 Grand Prix motorcycle racing
season is the 63rd F.I.M. Road Racing World Championship season. The
2011 season is the final season for 125cc machinery, as a new
four-stroke Moto3 class will be introduced in 2012.
Casey Stoner was crowned as MotoGP World Champion for the second
time, following his ninth victory of the season at the Australian
Grand Prix. Stoner, who was champion previously in 2007, finished 15
of the first 16 races of the campaign in the top three placings,
including his nine wins to become the final 800cc champion before
the premier class reverts back to 1000cc engines in 2012.
The season was marred by the death of Marco Simoncelli at the
Malaysian Grand Prix.
Description:
A flurry of team changes ensured the 2011 MotoGP World Championship
would be unpredictable, dramatic and, often, controversial from the
first green light.
The Official Review (also once again available on the High Definition Blu-ray)
features the hottest action from every race, using the best footage
from aerial, trackside and on-bike cameras, including the
breathtaking gyroscopic views.
There are interviews, bonus features and informed commentary to
ensure you get the full story of a season packed with highs and
lows. Reigning World Champion Jorge Lorenzo, still on the works
Yamaha, started favourite, however, Casey Stoner took no time to get
to grips with his new Honda mount and soon emerged as the leading
title contender. Dani Pedrosa’s hopes were, again, hit by injury,
but the Honda star still produced some outstanding performances –
not least in the epic Japanese GP. A switch to the works Yamaha for
Ben Spies showed he has the makings of a future World Champion, and
then there was Marco Simoncelli…a potential star in the making - the
one thing he can never be called is boring!
Making almost as many headlines as the championship battle was
Valentino Rossi’s battle with his wayward Ducat. The Doctor and his
team kept working hard all year, giving his legions of fans hope the
move from Yamaha will pay off, eventually.
