MotoGP: Head to Head

Sparks flew between arch-rivals Kevin Schwantz and Wayne Rainey in the seven years they graced the World Championship stage. Now close friends, their competitiveness spurred them to push their machines ever faster, prompting the wheelies, twitches and powerslides that summed up the era of powerful, super-lightweight GP bikes.

Mick Doohan and Alex Crivillé also cross swords, as they nudge each other aside for the lead. In another epic season-long duel, Olivier Jacque andShinya Nakano scrapped for seven months before the last lap of the World Championship, finishing within hundredths of a second for first and second place.

Finally, Valentino Rossi and Max Biaggi did little to hide their mutual dislike for each other, and the added pressure of the World Championship title led to fierce jostling on the track – at 200mph!

These champion riders give frank opinions of their former rivals, providing a rare and entertaining glimpse into the world of the MotoGP masters.

Poor value, inadequate content, 2007-08-14
Over twenty bucks for 62 minutes of disjointed coverage. For each of these battles, which went on for years, you get fifteen to twenty minutes of interviews played over clips of the riders and the racing. Very very short clips, two seconds here, five seconds there. Many of them are things like photo ops and slow motion of one of the guys sitting there doing nothing. What a RIP OFF!!! I watched many of these races live and I hoped they'd at least show a representative bit of racing between each of the pairs, but they never show enough of even one lap to give you an idea of how these guys actually compared. My impression from watching Mick and Alex every year, every race, was that Alex only won when he ambushed Mich and once Mick was on to his technique that didn't happen again. Mick even complained about it after the first time he did it. Not mentioned in this video.

Do yourself a favor, buy a Duke video instead, much better value and much better made.

head to head, 2007-02-09
It looks like the marketing boys that control the motogp organization were looking for a way to make some extra money for the coming 2007 season and the start of 800cc premiere class by dreaming up this silly excuse of a dvd, the racing footage was mediorce and the context of the rivalry insipid. Nice seeing the two-stroke 500cc bikes!
