1
00:04:34,077 --> 00:04:36,287
This is how it begins.
2
00:04:36,412 --> 00:04:41,291
A motorcycle racer
and his crew chief
3
00:04:41,416 --> 00:04:42,667
looking for speed.
4
00:04:53,678 --> 00:04:56,430
I'm thinking how to corner well
5
00:04:56,555 --> 00:04:58,473
with my knee to the ground
6
00:04:58,598 --> 00:05:00,266
how the crew chief has explained.
7
00:05:00,391 --> 00:05:02,518
It's difficult.
8
00:05:15,864 --> 00:05:17,365
This is how it begins.
9
00:05:17,490 --> 00:05:22,411
A motorcycle racer and his crew chief.
10
00:05:22,536 --> 00:05:25,872
And his race engineers
and his suspension engineer
11
00:05:25,997 --> 00:05:30,209
and his tire engineer
and his electronics engineer
12
00:05:30,334 --> 00:05:31,501
and his mechanics,
13
00:05:31,626 --> 00:05:34,378
looking for speed.
14
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,800
From the smallest minimoto track
to the fastest grand prix circuit,
15
00:05:40,925 --> 00:05:43,302
from little bikes
that cost a few hundred
16
00:05:43,427 --> 00:05:46,221
to MotoGP missiles that cost millions.
17
00:05:46,346 --> 00:05:48,598
From 20-mile-an-hour childhood thrills
18
00:05:48,723 --> 00:05:52,476
to 220-mile-an-hour
grand prix battles.
19
00:05:52,601 --> 00:05:55,103
The principle remains the same.
20
00:05:55,228 --> 00:05:57,438
Find the fastest line around the track.
21
00:05:57,563 --> 00:06:00,774
And then figure out how to go faster.
22
00:06:02,650 --> 00:06:07,446
Grand prix motorcycle racing is
the process of turning fire into speed.
23
00:06:08,321 --> 00:06:10,948
The combustion of fuel
and air in the engine
24
00:06:11,073 --> 00:06:16,661
and the fire in the heart of a rider
willing to risk everything to win.
25
00:06:18,037 --> 00:06:19,788
Time is the enemy.
26
00:06:19,913 --> 00:06:23,333
The fractions of a second
lost or gained in every corner
27
00:06:23,458 --> 00:06:26,085
which add up to defeat or victory.
28
00:06:26,210 --> 00:06:29,296
And the few years that you have
to make it to the top
29
00:06:29,421 --> 00:06:31,881
and try to stay there.
30
00:06:32,006 --> 00:06:34,758
This is what you have to do.
31
00:06:34,883 --> 00:06:37,135
Brake as late as possible.
32
00:06:39,178 --> 00:06:40,971
Stay wide.
33
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,098
Turn.
34
00:06:43,223 --> 00:06:46,392
Hit the apex. Accelerate.
35
00:06:46,517 --> 00:06:48,352
Brake.
36
00:06:48,477 --> 00:06:51,354
Lean... further.
37
00:06:52,355 --> 00:06:53,647
Faster.
38
00:06:53,772 --> 00:06:56,900
Stay on the motorcycle.
39
00:06:57,025 --> 00:06:59,736
Hit the apex. Accelerate.
40
00:07:01,487 --> 00:07:03,864
Stay on the motorcycle.
41
00:07:07,075 --> 00:07:09,535
Crashing... hurts.
42
00:07:12,204 --> 00:07:13,622
It wrecks your bike.
43
00:07:15,248 --> 00:07:17,124
It wrecks your body.
44
00:07:21,628 --> 00:07:23,880
It wrecks your chances.
45
00:07:30,094 --> 00:07:33,931
Stay... on... the bike.
46
00:07:35,807 --> 00:07:36,808
And fight.
47
00:07:44,106 --> 00:07:45,232
Every lap.
48
00:07:47,275 --> 00:07:48,526
Every corner.
49
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:52,821
Every second.
50
00:07:59,327 --> 00:08:00,828
In 18 races around the world.
51
00:08:02,955 --> 00:08:08,251
Flat out
for over 2,000 miles each season.
52
00:08:12,004 --> 00:08:14,006
Fight to the finish.
53
00:08:15,757 --> 00:08:17,967
Fight to the top.
54
00:08:20,010 --> 00:08:21,052
Fight.
55
00:08:37,943 --> 00:08:39,945
This is the story of six fighters.
56
00:08:40,654 --> 00:08:44,407
Six of the fastest motorcycle racers
of all time
57
00:08:44,532 --> 00:08:47,368
and of the fates that awaited them
at the peak of the sport.
58
00:08:48,243 --> 00:08:52,455
When the speeds had never been higher,
the competition more intense
59
00:08:52,580 --> 00:08:55,958
or the talent on the track
more brilliant.
60
00:08:57,125 --> 00:08:59,627
It's the story of what is at stake
for all of them.
61
00:08:59,752 --> 00:09:02,045
All that can be won.
62
00:09:02,170 --> 00:09:05,298
And all that can be lost,
when you go chasing glory
63
00:09:05,423 --> 00:09:09,677
at over 200 miles an hour
on a motorcycle.
64
00:10:13,574 --> 00:10:17,077
I love sleep. I love sleeping.
65
00:10:17,202 --> 00:10:19,370
Marco, my helper, wakes me up.
66
00:10:20,788 --> 00:10:23,707
So I take some breakfast.
67
00:10:24,708 --> 00:10:28,420
I just feel that I'm more nervous
than on Saturday.
68
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:32,923
You start feeling the butterflies
in your stomach.
69
00:10:33,048 --> 00:10:34,466
I hate this feeling.
70
00:10:35,467 --> 00:10:38,845
You feel more tired.
You feel... You are less strong.
71
00:11:03,619 --> 00:11:06,997
Wake up, breakfast, warm up.
72
00:11:07,122 --> 00:11:11,292
Normally I sleep well but that time
I will be a little bit nervous.
73
00:11:15,421 --> 00:11:18,424
Sunday morning,
the feeling is always the same.
74
00:11:18,549 --> 00:11:22,594
Scary, fear, adrenaline.
75
00:11:22,719 --> 00:11:27,724
Think positive,
but also scary to make some mistake.
76
00:11:27,849 --> 00:11:31,978
Together, the worst
and the best moment of my life.
77
00:11:32,645 --> 00:11:34,855
Valentino, you're so handsome!
78
00:11:49,077 --> 00:11:52,580
The countdown
to the MotoGP race at two o'clock
79
00:11:52,705 --> 00:11:56,250
is punctuated
by the roar of the support events...
80
00:11:56,375 --> 00:11:58,001
The junior class at 11.
81
00:11:58,126 --> 00:12:00,044
The intermediate at 12.20.
82
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,338
Then it's time.
83
00:12:03,463 --> 00:12:05,548
There are many things
out of your control.
84
00:12:05,673 --> 00:12:08,217
These are the things
that make you a bit uncomfortable
85
00:12:08,342 --> 00:12:12,262
in that particular hour
before the race.
86
00:12:14,931 --> 00:12:16,849
I enjoy it.
87
00:12:16,974 --> 00:12:20,102
It's great to see my son
get to the top.
88
00:12:20,227 --> 00:12:21,186
But you also suffer.
89
00:12:21,311 --> 00:12:25,273
As parents, we are afraid
90
00:12:25,398 --> 00:12:26,774
because it's very dangerous.
91
00:12:26,899 --> 00:12:28,942
The danger's inevitable.
92
00:12:29,067 --> 00:12:31,527
It's motor racing on two wheels
at very high speeds.
93
00:12:31,652 --> 00:12:33,779
We're always trying
to make it better.
94
00:12:33,904 --> 00:12:37,157
We're working on rider equipment.
The airbags inside the leathers.
95
00:12:37,282 --> 00:12:39,659
And then the rules that I apply
96
00:12:39,784 --> 00:12:43,579
to not allow the riders
to do things that put them in danger.
97
00:12:47,874 --> 00:12:50,459
The road to the MotoGP
world championship
98
00:12:50,584 --> 00:12:53,587
is long, difficult and dangerous.
99
00:12:53,712 --> 00:12:57,215
It must be taken at maximum speed
at all times.
100
00:12:58,257 --> 00:13:00,634
The finish line is thousands of miles,
101
00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:04,345
hundreds of races and hundreds
of crashes from the start.
102
00:13:05,888 --> 00:13:10,726
Thousands of young riders go racing
each year in Europe, Asia and America,
103
00:13:10,851 --> 00:13:13,562
dreaming of a place on the world stage.
104
00:13:15,605 --> 00:13:17,815
Very few of them will get there.
105
00:13:21,235 --> 00:13:24,404
Nobody knows
the ferocity of the competition
106
00:13:24,529 --> 00:13:25,821
better than Valentino Rossi.
107
00:13:27,364 --> 00:13:31,534
He's raced in over 300 grand prix
since 1996,
108
00:13:31,659 --> 00:13:36,413
won over 100 of them
and taken nine world championships.
109
00:13:36,538 --> 00:13:39,541
He made it to MotoGP
the way most of them do,
110
00:13:39,666 --> 00:13:42,627
rising through the junior
and intermediate classes,
111
00:13:42,752 --> 00:13:46,005
learning the grand prix tracks
on 140-mile-an-hour bikes.
112
00:13:46,130 --> 00:13:49,508
Then 170-mile-an-hour bikes
113
00:13:49,633 --> 00:13:51,718
before the move to MotoGP
114
00:13:51,843 --> 00:13:53,636
and over 200 miles an hour.
115
00:13:54,637 --> 00:13:59,642
Year after year, he's fought off
wave after wave of challengers.
116
00:13:59,767 --> 00:14:03,061
Over 100 riders have come and gone
in his time at the top.
117
00:14:03,186 --> 00:14:09,108
Rossi is the only one left
from the MotoGP class of 2000.
118
00:14:09,233 --> 00:14:15,405
From 2001 to 2005, he won
five MotoGP championships in a row.
119
00:14:15,530 --> 00:14:19,033
Rossi goes through and
there's nothing Biaggi can do about it.
120
00:14:19,158 --> 00:14:22,411
Oh! They touched! He's wide!
121
00:14:22,536 --> 00:14:24,621
Oh, Rossi's pushing him off the track!
122
00:14:24,746 --> 00:14:27,832
Rossi's gonna take victory
in the Spanish cup.
123
00:14:29,416 --> 00:14:32,335
He was
the undisputed king of the sport.
124
00:14:32,460 --> 00:14:37,798
At the end of the decade
he was still fighting, still winning.
125
00:14:37,923 --> 00:14:42,427
One more premier class title
and he would equal the all-time record.
126
00:14:42,552 --> 00:14:45,137
One more step to cementing his status
127
00:14:45,262 --> 00:14:48,890
as the greatest motorcycle racer
of all time.
128
00:14:49,599 --> 00:14:54,103
But by 2010, Rossi had his hands full.
129
00:14:54,228 --> 00:14:56,980
The men who could beat him had arrived.
130
00:14:58,189 --> 00:14:59,773
If you'd known where to look,
131
00:14:59,898 --> 00:15:02,483
you could have seen them
coming for him all along.
132
00:15:06,862 --> 00:15:08,864
1994, Spain.
133
00:15:08,989 --> 00:15:11,741
Seven-year-old Jorge Lorenzo
134
00:15:11,866 --> 00:15:15,661
slips and slides his way
around a car park in Mallorca.
135
00:15:18,497 --> 00:15:22,292
Casey Stoner on 166.
Keep your eyes on Casey.
136
00:15:22,417 --> 00:15:24,836
1997, Australia.
137
00:15:24,961 --> 00:15:28,881
Twelve-year-old Casey Stoner
leads the pack in a dirt-track race.
138
00:15:29,107 --> 00:15:31,776
Casey Stoner 166
with that nice comfortable lead.
139
00:15:31,901 --> 00:15:35,112
He led hundreds
of dirt-track races there.
140
00:15:35,237 --> 00:15:37,656
He once won 32 in a single weekend.
141
00:15:37,781 --> 00:15:40,325
That's a very easy win
in event number five.
142
00:15:45,038 --> 00:15:47,749
1999, Italy.
143
00:15:47,874 --> 00:15:52,420
12-year-old Marco Simoncelli wins
the national Minimoto championship.
144
00:15:53,170 --> 00:15:56,923
The same competition
Rossi started his career in.
145
00:15:57,715 --> 00:16:02,136
2000, Casey Stoner's family takes
all their savings and moves to Europe.
146
00:16:02,261 --> 00:16:05,472
Racing on asphalt for the first time,
147
00:16:05,597 --> 00:16:09,934
Stoner finds himself up against
the fastest rider he's ever seen.
148
00:16:10,059 --> 00:16:13,604
Dani Pedrosa,
from Sabadell near Barcelona.
149
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,734
Ten years later, the new generation
are all on the grid with Rossi.
150
00:16:22,445 --> 00:16:24,738
Almost all of them, that is.
151
00:16:24,863 --> 00:16:29,617
There's another very fast one coming
none of them know about yet.
152
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,414
1997, Cervera, Spain.
153
00:16:35,539 --> 00:16:39,000
Marc Marquez gets
a motorcycle for Christmas.
154
00:16:39,792 --> 00:16:41,752
He is three years old.
155
00:16:43,795 --> 00:16:48,508
Casey Stoner stunned Valentino Rossi
and everybody else in 2007,
156
00:16:48,633 --> 00:16:51,093
his second year in MotoGP.
157
00:16:51,218 --> 00:16:54,679
The Australian didn't just beat Rossi
to the world title that year,
158
00:16:54,804 --> 00:16:56,680
he wiped the floor with him,
159
00:16:56,805 --> 00:16:59,224
taking ten victories
to the Italian's four.
160
00:17:06,063 --> 00:17:10,358
Yamaha then signed Jorge Lorenzo
as their second rider for 2008.
161
00:17:10,483 --> 00:17:14,737
It was a statement.
Rossi was the past.
162
00:17:14,862 --> 00:17:17,364
Lorenzo was the future.
163
00:17:17,947 --> 00:17:22,034
In 2010, the 23-year-old
rode a perfect season.
164
00:17:22,159 --> 00:17:25,954
He finished every race,
took nine wins and seven podiums
165
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:30,208
and scored more points
than anybody in history.
166
00:17:30,333 --> 00:17:32,293
I saw it when he was five.
167
00:17:32,418 --> 00:17:35,254
It was impressive how he could ride
168
00:17:35,379 --> 00:17:38,048
beyond logic,
beyond the laws of physics almost.
169
00:17:38,173 --> 00:17:40,049
When you see that in a child
170
00:17:40,174 --> 00:17:43,010
you know there is great potential
171
00:17:43,135 --> 00:17:45,887
to go very far in this sport.
172
00:17:46,012 --> 00:17:48,597
He had it and other things besides.
173
00:17:48,722 --> 00:17:51,641
He's very stubborn.
He's very hard-working.
174
00:17:51,766 --> 00:17:54,435
He sticks at thngs
until he achieves them.
175
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,395
He's a non-conformist.
A perfectionist.
176
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:02,651
And of all that together
with the right circumstances
177
00:18:02,776 --> 00:18:04,569
has enabled him
to reach the level he's now at.
178
00:18:05,486 --> 00:18:08,238
Dani Pedrosa excelled
on the smaller bikes,
179
00:18:08,363 --> 00:18:10,031
winning three titles.
180
00:18:13,659 --> 00:18:18,955
In MotoGP, the diminutive Spaniard
finished second to Stoner in 2007
181
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,166
and second again to Lorenzo in 2010,
182
00:18:22,291 --> 00:18:25,335
pushing Rossi down to third
in the championship standings.
183
00:18:26,502 --> 00:18:30,130
With Valentino Rossi in
apparent decline at the age of 31,
184
00:18:30,255 --> 00:18:33,549
Italy is looking for a new MotoGP hero.
185
00:18:33,674 --> 00:18:36,009
Enter Marco Simoncelli.
186
00:18:37,385 --> 00:18:40,179
I took him to ride mini bikes.
187
00:18:40,304 --> 00:18:43,140
I didn't take him to piano classes.
188
00:18:44,933 --> 00:18:48,561
He loved it. It was easy.
189
00:18:48,686 --> 00:18:52,106
The first race, he fell three times.
He didn't win.
190
00:18:52,231 --> 00:18:56,109
But he learned fast.
191
00:18:56,234 --> 00:18:58,486
All of them, I've seen all his races.
192
00:18:58,611 --> 00:19:03,699
Little by little, with difficulty,
with many concerns,
193
00:19:03,824 --> 00:19:07,160
we got where he wanted to be.
194
00:19:10,872 --> 00:19:14,417
From his determination
and the way he rode
195
00:19:14,542 --> 00:19:17,211
we always knew he would be great.
196
00:19:18,587 --> 00:19:20,255
Me and his mum.
197
00:19:24,300 --> 00:19:26,468
Racing
in the intermediate class,
198
00:19:26,593 --> 00:19:29,512
Simoncelli took six victories in 2008
199
00:19:29,637 --> 00:19:32,765
and clinched the world title
in the tropical heat of Malaysia.
200
00:19:35,476 --> 00:19:38,103
Marco, how does that sound,
to be world champion?
201
00:19:38,228 --> 00:19:40,021
It's wonderful.
202
00:19:40,146 --> 00:19:43,524
I... I...
203
00:19:44,650 --> 00:19:47,069
I can't speak.
204
00:19:47,194 --> 00:19:49,613
I am too hot. I'm sorry.
205
00:19:49,738 --> 00:19:52,449
Congratulations anyway, Marco.
Thanks very much.
206
00:19:52,574 --> 00:19:55,285
It's wonderful. Grazie tutti.
207
00:19:56,327 --> 00:19:57,661
Scusati.
208
00:20:01,414 --> 00:20:04,083
Marco Simoncelli
lived in Coriano,
209
00:20:04,208 --> 00:20:07,336
a few miles from Valentino Rossi's home
in Tavullia.
210
00:20:07,461 --> 00:20:09,004
Eight years Rossi's junior,
211
00:20:09,129 --> 00:20:12,549
he sharpened his skills
on the same twisting roads
212
00:20:12,674 --> 00:20:14,967
that the world champion
had ridden as a teenager.
213
00:20:15,092 --> 00:20:19,471
And over time, the world champion
became a friend and mentor.
214
00:20:19,596 --> 00:20:24,684
From 2007,
I passed a lot of time with him.
215
00:20:24,809 --> 00:20:28,020
Every day at the gym,
motocross, go-kart.
216
00:20:28,145 --> 00:20:29,896
A lot a lot together.
217
00:20:30,021 --> 00:20:32,606
Yeah, he was my best friend
in the paddock.
218
00:20:32,731 --> 00:20:35,608
Our relationship become more deep.
219
00:20:38,277 --> 00:20:41,697
The doors to MotoGP
opened for Simoncelli.
220
00:20:41,822 --> 00:20:45,325
He made his debut in 2010
with Fausto Gresini's team.
221
00:20:46,659 --> 00:20:50,037
Like everybody before him,
he struggled.
222
00:20:50,162 --> 00:20:55,667
At first he had some trouble
and he crashed a few times.
223
00:20:55,792 --> 00:20:58,127
But moving from two-stroke engines
to four-stroke engines,
224
00:20:58,252 --> 00:21:02,756
going from one way of working
to another takes time.
225
00:21:03,256 --> 00:21:05,758
It's a huge leap in performance.
226
00:21:05,883 --> 00:21:10,554
From a top speed of around 170 miles
per hour in the intermediate class
227
00:21:10,679 --> 00:21:13,348
to over 220 in MotoGP.
228
00:21:13,473 --> 00:21:18,102
A MotoGP bike accelerates
faster than a Formula 1 car.
229
00:21:18,227 --> 00:21:20,437
Crashing can mean
flying through the air
230
00:21:20,562 --> 00:21:22,981
faster than a free-falling skydiver.
231
00:21:23,690 --> 00:21:26,693
A 200-mile-an-hour landing survivable
232
00:21:26,818 --> 00:21:30,571
as long as you hit the ground
at a shallow angle and slide.
233
00:21:34,449 --> 00:21:40,872
At the beginning of the season,
we were in big trouble with the bike.
234
00:21:41,914 --> 00:21:45,083
Step-by-step, we improved every race.
235
00:21:45,208 --> 00:21:50,963
And now the last three races for me
are so positive,
236
00:21:51,088 --> 00:21:54,466
I hope to end the season
in the best way
237
00:21:54,591 --> 00:21:57,594
and to step up on the podium.
238
00:21:57,719 --> 00:22:00,638
There is Marco Simoncelli.
Simoncelli is gonna do it.
239
00:22:00,763 --> 00:22:04,266
COMMENTATOR 2: No!
Dovizioso has so much more drive
240
00:22:04,391 --> 00:22:06,476
coming out of the Parabolica.
241
00:22:10,646 --> 00:22:14,524
Well done, Simoncelli.
He's going to be disappointed.
242
00:22:17,527 --> 00:22:19,820
That's his dad, isn't it?
Giving him a big hug.
243
00:22:19,945 --> 00:22:23,365
Marco Simoncelli, we're gonna see
a lot of you next season.
244
00:22:23,490 --> 00:22:26,784
I don't think there's any doubt
about that. Great ride.
245
00:22:28,827 --> 00:22:30,328
By the end of the year,
246
00:22:30,453 --> 00:22:33,164
Simoncelli had emerged
as one of the fastest of them all.
247
00:22:34,456 --> 00:22:37,876
He hadn't won a race yet,
but he'd won a lot of hearts.
248
00:22:38,001 --> 00:22:41,254
He was just what many people wanted
in a motorcycle racer,
249
00:22:41,379 --> 00:22:45,049
a demon on the bike
and a nice guy off it.
250
00:22:45,174 --> 00:22:49,428
I'm happy
for the big improvement that I do
251
00:22:49,553 --> 00:22:51,680
with my team during this year.
252
00:22:51,805 --> 00:22:55,016
And the results
coming better and better.
253
00:22:55,141 --> 00:22:57,518
And now we hope to continue in this way.
254
00:22:57,643 --> 00:23:00,228
At the final race in Valencia,
255
00:23:00,353 --> 00:23:02,772
he qualified on the front row
for the first time,
256
00:23:02,897 --> 00:23:04,899
ready to take on anyone,
257
00:23:05,024 --> 00:23:08,402
including newly-crowned
world champion Jorge Lorenzo.
258
00:23:08,527 --> 00:23:12,113
Jorge Lorenzo
fights back against Marco Simoncelli
259
00:23:12,238 --> 00:23:13,697
and gets up the inside.
260
00:23:13,822 --> 00:23:15,615
Simoncelli fights back immediately.
261
00:23:15,740 --> 00:23:17,867
He loves to be aggressive, doesn't he?
262
00:23:17,992 --> 00:23:21,245
I read something he tell
about my riding style,
263
00:23:21,370 --> 00:23:27,417
but, I don't know,
for me he said some wrong things...
264
00:23:27,542 --> 00:23:32,004
Because he said I touch him
and maybe he crashed.
265
00:23:32,129 --> 00:23:34,756
Lorenzo dives
for the inside line and touches!
266
00:23:34,881 --> 00:23:37,508
Oh, he was almost down!
And he was just hanging on.
267
00:23:37,633 --> 00:23:40,594
Lorenzo is absolutely furious!
268
00:23:40,719 --> 00:23:46,433
I was in front and he tried to pass me
and he did a mistake.
269
00:23:46,558 --> 00:23:48,101
He hurt me.
270
00:23:49,519 --> 00:23:55,942
His tire was on my leather
from the leg to the shoulder.
271
00:23:56,067 --> 00:23:58,778
So for me it's not a correct example.
272
00:23:59,487 --> 00:24:01,030
It's working? Yeah?
273
00:24:02,114 --> 00:24:06,660
For my side, I think yesterday
I speak the right words.
274
00:24:07,744 --> 00:24:09,537
And for me, it's not a problem.
275
00:24:09,662 --> 00:24:12,414
If in the future, it doesn't happen
anything, it's not a problem.
276
00:24:12,539 --> 00:24:14,457
We'll see what happens in the future.
277
00:24:15,958 --> 00:24:19,962
Yes, but you did
a wrong example for me.
278
00:24:22,047 --> 00:24:26,718
I think you have a lot of touching
with a lot of riders.
279
00:24:26,843 --> 00:24:29,679
Yes, but the example
was wrong for me.
280
00:24:29,804 --> 00:24:35,226
How many races I doesn't crash?
I don't touch any rider.
281
00:24:35,351 --> 00:24:38,312
I said that your example was wrong.
Sorry, eh?
282
00:24:38,437 --> 00:24:40,188
This is your opinion.
283
00:24:40,313 --> 00:24:42,481
But I think a lot of people
here in the paddock,
284
00:24:42,606 --> 00:24:44,733
a lot of riders
have the same opinion of me.
285
00:24:44,858 --> 00:24:46,067
Try to ask.
286
00:24:46,192 --> 00:24:47,860
Ask Dovizioso for example...
287
00:24:47,985 --> 00:24:52,698
For example, ask Dovizioso in 2005.
288
00:24:52,823 --> 00:24:55,534
It doesn't matter.
If in the future it doesn't happen,
289
00:24:55,659 --> 00:24:56,868
it's not a problem for me.
290
00:24:56,993 --> 00:25:00,204
But in the future if something
happens with you, will be a problem.
291
00:25:01,246 --> 00:25:03,748
OK. I will be arrested.
292
00:25:11,397 --> 00:25:16,110
OK, let's quiet...
Let's calm down a little bit.
293
00:25:16,235 --> 00:25:17,236
Sorry.
294
00:25:17,361 --> 00:25:20,364
No, you and Marco, that is fine.
That's no problem.
295
00:25:20,489 --> 00:25:21,531
I can speak?
296
00:25:21,656 --> 00:25:23,574
Of course you can speak. Please.
297
00:25:23,699 --> 00:25:26,326
No. This question...
Everybody's laughing...
298
00:25:28,369 --> 00:25:33,332
But it's not funny
because we are playing with our lives.
299
00:25:33,457 --> 00:25:35,625
We are riding at 300 per hour.
300
00:25:35,750 --> 00:25:40,463
With bikes, very powerful
and very heavy.
301
00:25:40,588 --> 00:25:43,007
It's not mini-bikes.
302
00:25:43,132 --> 00:25:45,717
So, it's a dangerous sport.
303
00:25:45,842 --> 00:25:47,885
And you have to think
what do you do.
304
00:25:53,974 --> 00:25:55,892
At the highest level,
305
00:25:56,017 --> 00:25:59,979
motorcycle racing
is a display of dangerous brilliance.
306
00:26:00,104 --> 00:26:04,399
The performance of death-defying feats
of skill and daring.
307
00:26:04,524 --> 00:26:06,526
That is the underlying contest.
308
00:26:06,651 --> 00:26:09,987
A dance with potential destruction.
309
00:26:10,112 --> 00:26:11,404
You know that this is dangerous.
310
00:26:11,529 --> 00:26:14,615
When you ride at 100%,
you always risk.
311
00:26:14,740 --> 00:26:19,953
but when you have the feeling
that the situation is under control,
312
00:26:20,078 --> 00:26:23,372
you can push the last 10%.
313
00:26:24,331 --> 00:26:26,124
We know the dangers of racing.
314
00:26:26,249 --> 00:26:28,334
You need to respect
the riders next to you.
315
00:26:28,459 --> 00:26:30,669
You don't know
the last time you'll see them.
316
00:26:30,794 --> 00:26:34,172
We go into races knowing it can happen.
You don't think about it.
317
00:26:34,297 --> 00:26:37,383
If that starts creeping in your mind,
then you leave.
318
00:26:37,508 --> 00:26:40,969
You've gotta take risks
to stay in the game.
319
00:26:41,886 --> 00:26:45,806
When you run the numbers,
the odds are on the riders' side.
320
00:26:45,931 --> 00:26:49,684
Over an 18-race season,
the practice sessions and races
321
00:26:49,809 --> 00:26:54,104
in the three MotoGP classes
produce hundreds of crashes.
322
00:26:54,229 --> 00:26:59,651
Serious injuries are limited
to a few broken bones most of the time.
323
00:26:59,776 --> 00:27:01,819
Do you know how many crashes
there have been this year?
324
00:27:01,944 --> 00:27:06,823
Six hundred and ninety.
Six hundred and ninety crashes.
325
00:27:06,948 --> 00:27:10,284
Fractures and so on?
I don't know, about 30.
326
00:27:12,828 --> 00:27:18,291
In my career, also when I was
young, I don't take a lot of risks.
327
00:27:18,416 --> 00:27:22,253
I take risks,
but not more than necessary.
328
00:27:22,378 --> 00:27:25,756
Graziano took a lot more risks then me.
329
00:27:25,881 --> 00:27:29,926
Valentino Rossi's father
Graziano was a grand prix rider
330
00:27:30,051 --> 00:27:33,387
in the Seventies and Eighties
who retired through injury.
331
00:27:33,512 --> 00:27:36,139
Growing up, I learned from him.
332
00:27:36,264 --> 00:27:40,935
The son learned
from the father's mistakes.
333
00:27:41,727 --> 00:27:46,231
Bad memories, a lot of crashes,
a lot of injuries.
334
00:27:46,356 --> 00:27:49,525
So, yes, it's scary
because he's my father.
335
00:27:50,651 --> 00:27:54,655
It will happen.
Learning means crashing.
336
00:27:54,780 --> 00:27:56,448
When you're out
to extract the maximum
337
00:27:56,573 --> 00:28:01,077
from a 240-horsepower motorcycle,
there's no other way.
338
00:28:01,952 --> 00:28:05,163
Go over the limit
and then you know where it is.
339
00:28:05,288 --> 00:28:08,207
A fast rider
can learn to stop crashing.
340
00:28:08,332 --> 00:28:10,667
A slow rider cannot learn to go fast.
341
00:28:11,876 --> 00:28:14,753
You have to do it. You have to crash.
342
00:28:14,878 --> 00:28:18,673
And you have to learn from it
if you want to stay around.
343
00:28:20,633 --> 00:28:25,304
There's many examples in this world
of a very fast rider, but not smart.
344
00:28:25,429 --> 00:28:28,890
And their career's been very short.
To be fast is not enough.
345
00:28:29,015 --> 00:28:31,851
You need to have a combination
of being fast and brave
346
00:28:31,976 --> 00:28:33,894
and also be intelligent.
347
00:28:34,019 --> 00:28:35,895
In his rookie year in MotoGP,
348
00:28:36,020 --> 00:28:39,940
Jorge Lorenzo once crashed
three times in a single weekend.
349
00:28:40,065 --> 00:28:41,983
I thought I was invincible.
350
00:28:43,067 --> 00:28:45,819
And I was not afraid to get hurt.
351
00:28:45,944 --> 00:28:48,488
I was not afraid
of these kind of bikes,
352
00:28:48,613 --> 00:28:51,741
going at 340 kilometers per hour.
I didn't care.
353
00:28:51,866 --> 00:28:55,160
It was a normal thing
to crash so many times.
354
00:29:04,252 --> 00:29:09,465
And then suddenly I realize,
OK, I need to stop.
355
00:29:09,590 --> 00:29:12,634
I need to change my mentality.
I need to be more calm.
356
00:29:12,759 --> 00:29:17,305
I need to... to think more on the bike.
357
00:29:17,430 --> 00:29:24,437
We've been looking at the
training that American fighter pilots do
358
00:29:24,562 --> 00:29:30,150
and also how
the Israeli special forces train.
359
00:29:30,275 --> 00:29:33,027
The theory is that it's all in the mind
360
00:29:33,152 --> 00:29:37,698
so we work directly
with the mind of the rider.
361
00:29:38,448 --> 00:29:41,784
There is no correct way
to ride a MotoGP machine.
362
00:29:41,909 --> 00:29:45,913
The objective is to go as fast
as possible and stay on the bike.
363
00:29:46,038 --> 00:29:48,832
How you do that is up to you.
364
00:29:48,957 --> 00:29:51,250
I came from dirt tracks.
I came from sliding.
365
00:29:51,375 --> 00:29:54,920
I'm more than comfortable
when the bike's going sideways.
366
00:29:55,045 --> 00:29:57,213
It's one of the mysteries of the sport.
367
00:29:57,338 --> 00:30:01,675
How two riders with styles
as different as Stoner's and Lorenzo's
368
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,052
can go round a three-mile race track
369
00:30:04,177 --> 00:30:06,846
within a thousandth of a second
of each other.
370
00:30:06,971 --> 00:30:09,723
Stoner sideways, shaking and sliding.
371
00:30:09,848 --> 00:30:12,308
Lorenzo as if on rails.
372
00:30:12,433 --> 00:30:16,228
I'm pushing 100%
and I'm going at the maximum.
373
00:30:16,353 --> 00:30:21,358
I am feeling the limit in every corner.
I'm trying to be perfect.
374
00:30:28,072 --> 00:30:29,990
Every time he won
a grand prix,
375
00:30:30,115 --> 00:30:34,285
the church bells in Rossi's home town
rang out in celebration.
376
00:30:34,410 --> 00:30:39,373
105 times from 1996 to 2010.
377
00:30:40,832 --> 00:30:42,375
Then he moved to Ducati.
378
00:30:43,376 --> 00:30:45,586
And the bells stopped ringing.
379
00:30:46,962 --> 00:30:50,173
Ducati was an experience.
380
00:30:50,298 --> 00:30:55,177
Let's not say a happy experience.
381
00:30:55,302 --> 00:30:57,512
He suffered.
382
00:30:57,637 --> 00:31:01,390
When Jorge Lorenzo
won the world title in 2010,
383
00:31:01,515 --> 00:31:04,017
Yamaha offered to keep Rossi on
384
00:31:04,142 --> 00:31:08,646
if he'd take a pay cut and accept
number two status in the team.
385
00:31:08,771 --> 00:31:12,608
After a decade, as one of the highest
paid sportsmen in the world,
386
00:31:12,733 --> 00:31:17,237
he might not have needed the money,
but Rossi had always been number one.
387
00:31:17,362 --> 00:31:21,407
Casey Stoner had taken the best bike
available for 2011.
388
00:31:21,532 --> 00:31:24,201
He was leaving Ducati
for Repsol Honda,
389
00:31:24,326 --> 00:31:27,704
the team of his childhood hero,
Mick Doohan.
390
00:31:27,829 --> 00:31:30,915
Rossi now did
what everybody hoped he would.
391
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:35,919
He said goodbye to his beloved Yamaha
and he moved to Ducati.
392
00:31:36,044 --> 00:31:38,629
The Italian dream team was born.
393
00:31:38,754 --> 00:31:42,090
I remember writing if he wins a race,
394
00:31:42,215 --> 00:31:45,343
it would be like the Pope
winning at Monza in a Ferrari.
395
00:31:45,468 --> 00:31:50,264
And it would be a fantastic story.
But it was an unmitigated disaster.
396
00:31:51,223 --> 00:31:55,227
Casey Stoner had won
23 races for the Italian team.
397
00:31:55,352 --> 00:31:58,063
None of the other Ducati riders
could come close.
398
00:31:58,646 --> 00:32:01,148
In 2009, when I first got on the bike,
399
00:32:01,273 --> 00:32:04,401
I couldn't believe
how Casey could go so fast with it.
400
00:32:04,526 --> 00:32:06,736
Casey had extreme talent.
401
00:32:06,861 --> 00:32:10,155
Stoner's success rate at
Ducati had declined over time, though.
402
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:15,952
Ten wins the first year, then six,
then four, then three.
403
00:32:16,494 --> 00:32:20,581
He had also missed three races
through illness in 2009.
404
00:32:20,706 --> 00:32:24,876
Many thought the declining results
were due to his health problems.
405
00:32:25,001 --> 00:32:26,752
They were wrong.
406
00:32:26,877 --> 00:32:29,963
Stoner wasn't getting worse
as the years went by.
407
00:32:30,964 --> 00:32:32,256
The bike was.
408
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,802
I had a very bad feeling.
From the first time in Valencia.
409
00:32:37,927 --> 00:32:40,763
And I was very, very...
410
00:32:40,888 --> 00:32:45,225
Not desperate, but very worried
to make the wrong choice.
411
00:32:45,934 --> 00:32:48,102
We copped a lot of flak
from Valentino.
412
00:32:48,227 --> 00:32:49,603
Not just me but my whole team.
413
00:32:49,728 --> 00:32:52,313
Valentino and Jerry Burgess
and all that.
414
00:32:52,438 --> 00:32:55,149
They'd said so many bad things
about what Ducati had done
415
00:32:55,274 --> 00:32:58,735
and what myself and my crew had done.
It really frustrated me.
416
00:32:58,860 --> 00:33:01,404
Rossi was hampered
by a shoulder injury
417
00:33:01,529 --> 00:33:04,532
from a crash on a dirt bike
in early 2010.
418
00:33:04,657 --> 00:33:08,702
At first he was in bad shape
with his shoulder
419
00:33:08,827 --> 00:33:12,789
but then we realized
the bike was in bad shape as well.
420
00:33:12,914 --> 00:33:17,835
Rossi was 15th fastest
at the MotoGP test in Valencia.
421
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,587
Stoner was fastest on the Honda.
422
00:33:22,338 --> 00:33:24,882
After the test,
Rossi went back to Italy
423
00:33:25,007 --> 00:33:27,384
for surgery to repair his shoulder.
424
00:33:31,471 --> 00:33:34,056
Four months later,
it was time to go racing.
425
00:33:35,182 --> 00:33:38,810
Stoner won the first grand prix
of 2011 in Qatar.
426
00:33:38,935 --> 00:33:41,020
Rossi was seventh.
427
00:33:41,145 --> 00:33:45,399
The rain in Spain at the second race
was good news for the Italian team.
428
00:33:45,524 --> 00:33:47,442
The wet conditions lowered speeds
429
00:33:47,567 --> 00:33:51,195
and reduced the forces
which unsettled the Ducati in the dry.
430
00:33:51,987 --> 00:33:56,491
Rossi set the fastest lap in the race
and looked on course for a win.
431
00:33:56,616 --> 00:33:59,410
He just needed to get past
Stoner and Simoncelli.
432
00:34:00,828 --> 00:34:05,374
And now Valentino Rossi
has got Casey Stoner in his sight.
433
00:34:06,792 --> 00:34:08,418
He's taken down Stoner!
434
00:34:08,543 --> 00:34:11,003
Valentino Rossi attacked
from a long way back
435
00:34:11,229 --> 00:34:13,564
and he's taken out Casey Stoner.
436
00:34:15,732 --> 00:34:19,152
Rossi's got back on the track.
Stoner's still having problems.
437
00:34:25,783 --> 00:34:28,035
Hey, how's the shoulder? It's OK?
438
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:29,244
I'm very sorry.
439
00:34:29,369 --> 00:34:31,454
You having some problem
with your shoulder?
440
00:34:31,579 --> 00:34:35,499
Obviously your ambition
outweighed your talent.
441
00:34:35,624 --> 00:34:37,208
I'm very sorry.
442
00:34:37,333 --> 00:34:38,417
No problem.
443
00:34:40,752 --> 00:34:42,795
I had the helmet,
I didn't hear very well.
444
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,881
What was it?
Your ambition outweighed your talent!
445
00:34:46,006 --> 00:34:47,215
Oh, my golly!
446
00:34:47,340 --> 00:34:52,595
What a thing for Casey Stoner
to say to the nine-time world champion.
447
00:34:52,720 --> 00:34:57,057
I want to say that I don't want
to hear what he said. It was better.
448
00:34:57,182 --> 00:34:59,893
At that time,
I don't think there was truer words.
449
00:35:00,018 --> 00:35:03,021
A big part of why I said it
was I have no respect for someone
450
00:35:03,146 --> 00:35:05,898
who comes into a garage
with their helmet on to apologize.
451
00:35:06,023 --> 00:35:08,191
You don't do that.
It's not the way it's done.
452
00:35:08,316 --> 00:35:11,444
So, yeah, it frustrated me a little bit
and, erm, you know,
453
00:35:11,569 --> 00:35:15,197
I kind of won't deny
that I enjoyed those two years.
454
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,619
Watching him struggle a heck of
a lot more than we did on the Ducati.
455
00:35:26,291 --> 00:35:27,667
Bad, bad.
456
00:35:27,792 --> 00:35:28,918
It just got worse.
457
00:35:29,043 --> 00:35:32,046
The longer he was there,
the worse the bike became.
458
00:35:32,171 --> 00:35:34,548
They went forwards
and then they went backwards,
459
00:35:34,673 --> 00:35:36,466
they never got there.
460
00:35:42,972 --> 00:35:44,598
He never said anything bad about it
461
00:35:44,723 --> 00:35:47,475
although he must have
wanted to inside.
462
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,893
He kept quiet.
463
00:35:50,018 --> 00:35:52,186
We have a lot of work to do.
464
00:35:52,311 --> 00:35:54,521
I lose too much in entry.
I have too much slide.
465
00:35:54,646 --> 00:35:58,024
We try a lot of different things
with the setting, but we don't fix.
466
00:35:58,149 --> 00:36:00,901
We're struggling.
We need more experience on this bike.
467
00:36:01,026 --> 00:36:03,945
I am very slow. Very negative.
We are not strong enough.
468
00:36:04,070 --> 00:36:09,116
His face was no longer that smiling,
calm face.
469
00:36:09,241 --> 00:36:10,992
I didn't know what to say
and nor did he.
470
00:36:12,660 --> 00:36:14,453
We are very, very sad.
471
00:36:17,998 --> 00:36:21,126
I lost the front,
but seriously, I don't understand why.
472
00:36:21,251 --> 00:36:26,047
Something wasn't right in the team.
473
00:36:26,172 --> 00:36:28,132
We work together with Ducati.
474
00:36:28,257 --> 00:36:30,550
We try,
but at this moment we don't fix a lot.
475
00:36:30,675 --> 00:36:37,765
It can be just a centimeter here
or there that makes the difference.
476
00:36:37,890 --> 00:36:39,850
These are the secrets
which only they know.
477
00:36:41,726 --> 00:36:44,729
The first year he crashed a lot
which meant he was trying.
478
00:36:44,854 --> 00:36:47,147
It's not like he wasn't trying,
he was giving it everything.
479
00:36:55,155 --> 00:36:58,616
Rossi wasn't the only one
crashing too much in 2011.
480
00:36:58,741 --> 00:37:01,827
Marco Simoncelli
was chasing his first podium.
481
00:37:01,952 --> 00:37:05,413
Marco Simoncelli is never
gonna have a better opportunity
482
00:37:05,579 --> 00:37:09,165
to win a grand prix MotoGP race.
483
00:37:09,290 --> 00:37:12,626
Oh! Simoncelli's going down!
484
00:37:12,751 --> 00:37:16,004
Someone else gone, it is Simoncelli!
485
00:37:20,383 --> 00:37:22,676
Oh, Simoncelli's gone down!
486
00:37:22,801 --> 00:37:26,346
Marco Simoncelli, he's in line
for a first MotoGP podium
487
00:37:26,471 --> 00:37:29,307
and crashes out at turn one.
488
00:37:30,182 --> 00:37:33,643
There was no secret
that a few of us riders
489
00:37:33,768 --> 00:37:36,437
were a little bit concerned
about his riding.
490
00:37:36,562 --> 00:37:40,732
Simoncelli's gone down!
And he's taken with him Jorge Lorenzo.
491
00:37:40,857 --> 00:37:44,443
I think the problem is that he's not
very conscious about the risks.
492
00:37:44,568 --> 00:37:50,365
Many, many, many riders want
to make him a little calm in that time.
493
00:37:50,490 --> 00:37:53,910
I was technical director at the time,
looking into race direction
494
00:37:54,035 --> 00:37:58,164
and it's very, very similar
to early Lorenzo career
495
00:37:58,289 --> 00:38:03,294
with talented, really, really, hungry
and full of confidence
496
00:38:03,419 --> 00:38:05,796
and wanting to ride aggressively.
497
00:38:05,921 --> 00:38:08,673
For him the race
is to be aggressive.
498
00:38:08,798 --> 00:38:13,177
If you want to win,
the talents are all aggressive.
499
00:38:13,302 --> 00:38:16,847
Valentino, when he started,
was a talent. He was aggressive.
500
00:38:16,972 --> 00:38:18,598
Everybody's aggressive.
501
00:38:22,935 --> 00:38:26,813
Dani Pedrosa was building his
strongest challenge for the title yet.
502
00:38:26,938 --> 00:38:30,316
He took second in Spain
and won in Portugal.
503
00:38:30,441 --> 00:38:32,484
Going into the fourth race in France,
504
00:38:32,609 --> 00:38:36,029
he was just behind Lorenzo and ahead
of Stoner in the championship.
505
00:38:36,154 --> 00:38:40,283
He now found himself fighting
for second place with Marco Simoncelli.
506
00:38:41,659 --> 00:38:46,914
Saturday night, before the race
in Le Mans was a weekend
507
00:38:47,039 --> 00:38:51,376
that had a lot of polemic on Marco
because he's too aggressive.
508
00:38:51,501 --> 00:38:55,880
But I say to Marco, "Please, tomorrow,
keep attention to all the other guys,
509
00:38:56,005 --> 00:39:00,009
because for sure all the people
want to look for your mistake."
510
00:39:00,134 --> 00:39:03,804
And he said, "Ah, yeah, yeah,
good idea. I understand."
511
00:39:03,929 --> 00:39:05,680
But unfortunately the next day...
512
00:39:05,805 --> 00:39:09,391
Oh! Pedrosa's gone down!
Did he catch the back wheel there?
513
00:39:12,352 --> 00:39:14,020
He holds his right collarbone.
514
00:39:15,396 --> 00:39:19,483
Marco Simoncelli has been given
a ride-through penalty
515
00:39:19,608 --> 00:39:22,193
for that move on Dani Pedrosa.
516
00:39:22,318 --> 00:39:27,281
And Marco Simoncelli,
that first ever podium finish in MotoGP
517
00:39:27,406 --> 00:39:29,991
has been wrenched from his hand.
518
00:39:30,116 --> 00:39:32,493
What happened is
I broke my collarbone there.
519
00:39:32,618 --> 00:39:36,622
I had to do two surgeries.
I lost the championship.
520
00:39:36,747 --> 00:39:40,000
I was out for three races.
521
00:39:40,125 --> 00:39:42,127
It was a harsh blow for Pedrosa.
522
00:39:42,252 --> 00:39:46,756
He'd only just recovered from breaking
his other collar bone in 2010.
523
00:39:46,881 --> 00:39:52,469
I'm so sorry for his crash
and for his injuries.
524
00:39:52,594 --> 00:39:58,391
But for me,
I haven't done nothing incorrect.
525
00:39:58,516 --> 00:40:00,434
Had he never done
anything wrong before,
526
00:40:00,559 --> 00:40:03,353
he probably
wouldn't have copped that penalty.
527
00:40:03,478 --> 00:40:07,732
It did make him think, his riding
was significantly better after that.
528
00:40:11,569 --> 00:40:14,572
When he did the mistake
with Pedrosa especially,
529
00:40:14,697 --> 00:40:18,701
he suffered very much
because people go to him and say,
530
00:40:18,826 --> 00:40:21,411
"You are a dickhead!"
531
00:40:21,536 --> 00:40:24,956
Because Pedrosa crash
and also have pain another time.
532
00:40:25,081 --> 00:40:27,792
And Pedrosa was very angry with Marco.
533
00:40:27,917 --> 00:40:31,712
And all the people in Spain
was very angry with Marco.
534
00:40:31,837 --> 00:40:34,506
Before the race in Barcelona,
535
00:40:34,631 --> 00:40:40,511
arrive a letter with no signature
with a gun.
536
00:40:41,428 --> 00:40:46,141
Someone from Spain give him
a letter or a mail
537
00:40:46,266 --> 00:40:48,643
with "I wanna kill you."
538
00:40:54,231 --> 00:40:57,484
You can hear boos
as he laps the track by himself.
539
00:40:57,609 --> 00:40:59,235
Dani Pedrosa, not here.
540
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,529
He'll have an operation
on that broken right collarbone.
541
00:41:02,695 --> 00:41:06,699
And I remember that in Barcelona
we have a lot of bodyguards.
542
00:41:06,824 --> 00:41:12,371
Two bodyguards for the weekend.
That makes everyone nervous, no?
543
00:41:12,496 --> 00:41:15,499
He make pole position in practice.
544
00:41:15,624 --> 00:41:17,292
It will be one more lap
545
00:41:17,417 --> 00:41:20,503
for the former 250cc
world champion Simoncelli.
546
00:41:20,628 --> 00:41:21,962
He's protecting that.
547
00:41:22,087 --> 00:41:26,299
He's got pole! Marco
Simoncelli pulled it out of nowhere.
548
00:41:26,424 --> 00:41:30,302
A 142.413! He's been second
in the last two rounds.
549
00:41:30,427 --> 00:41:33,179
And he's pulled that
out of absolutely nowhere.
550
00:41:33,304 --> 00:41:37,641
Marco Simoncelli, the rider who's been
at the center of all the talk,
551
00:41:37,766 --> 00:41:39,517
all the debate, all the discussion
552
00:41:39,642 --> 00:41:43,395
for the last couple of weeks
has now taken pole.
553
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,022
I wonder what kind of reception
he's gonna get
554
00:41:46,147 --> 00:41:48,691
as he wheelies his way
around this circuit.
555
00:41:48,816 --> 00:41:53,445
Simoncelli, despite all the boos
is giving them the wave.
556
00:41:53,570 --> 00:41:55,655
Thank you.
I've got pole. Thank you.
557
00:42:05,164 --> 00:42:09,543
Marco Simoncelli took
a careful sixth place in Catalunya.
558
00:42:09,668 --> 00:42:13,296
Casey Stoner won.
Jorge Lorenzo was second.
559
00:42:13,421 --> 00:42:16,799
His lead in the championship
shrinking to seven points.
560
00:42:19,051 --> 00:42:23,305
Marco got a little bit too much
of an attack from people.
561
00:42:24,556 --> 00:42:25,640
So he really backed off.
562
00:42:25,765 --> 00:42:29,810
You saw his results suffering
because it was really affecting him.
563
00:42:32,896 --> 00:42:36,441
Three races later,
Dani Pedrosa was back.
564
00:42:36,566 --> 00:42:41,904
When I came back,
I didn't try to have a talk with him.
565
00:42:42,029 --> 00:42:44,114
I kind of avoided.
566
00:42:46,407 --> 00:42:50,619
I regret that. Because life
is too short to have enemies.
567
00:42:52,245 --> 00:42:57,708
Simoncelli crashed out of
four of the first ten races that year.
568
00:42:57,833 --> 00:43:00,252
But then... things changed.
569
00:43:01,002 --> 00:43:06,048
My impression was that Marco
had changed during the last races.
570
00:43:06,173 --> 00:43:08,008
He was more conscious of the risk
571
00:43:08,133 --> 00:43:12,804
and he was trying
to be a more conscious rider.
572
00:43:14,597 --> 00:43:18,142
When he started to come back
and his results started to get better,
573
00:43:18,267 --> 00:43:21,311
all of a sudden,
he's racing like a true racer.
574
00:43:23,187 --> 00:43:24,938
Marco Simoncelli has done it.
575
00:43:25,063 --> 00:43:28,232
Marco Simoncelli has grabbed
his first MotoGP podium.
576
00:43:28,357 --> 00:43:32,527
It's well deserved after everything
he's been through this season.
577
00:43:33,986 --> 00:43:36,947
It feels unbelievable.
578
00:43:37,072 --> 00:43:43,411
I'm really, really happy
and I want to say thanks to everybody
579
00:43:43,536 --> 00:43:46,038
who never stopped believing in me
when I was in a difficult moment.
580
00:43:46,163 --> 00:43:51,418
And everybody who helped me
to arrive here today.
581
00:44:00,260 --> 00:44:03,304
With three races to go,
Lorenzo was the only rider
582
00:44:03,429 --> 00:44:06,515
with any hope of beating Stoner
in the championship.
583
00:44:07,950 --> 00:44:09,618
There were 65 points between them.
584
00:44:09,743 --> 00:44:12,620
The odds were stacked
against the Spaniard.
585
00:44:12,745 --> 00:44:15,372
But you never know,
Stoner might make a mistake.
586
00:44:17,207 --> 00:44:18,750
He didn't.
587
00:44:18,875 --> 00:44:21,252
Oh! Lorenzo goes down.
588
00:44:21,377 --> 00:44:25,130
When he went down,
the fingers of Lorenzo's left hand
589
00:44:25,255 --> 00:44:28,174
were trapped between the clutch lever
and the handle bar.
590
00:44:29,175 --> 00:44:32,261
The lever amputated the tip
of his ring finger.
591
00:44:32,386 --> 00:44:35,180
It was a horrible morning for Lorenzo.
592
00:44:35,305 --> 00:44:39,100
But a great afternoon for Casey Stoner.
593
00:44:43,354 --> 00:44:46,357
Casey Stoner
now is closing up
594
00:44:46,482 --> 00:44:50,527
on the 2011 MotoGP world championship.
595
00:44:50,652 --> 00:44:54,405
Simoncelli in second place.
Everybody stands in Phillip Island.
596
00:44:54,530 --> 00:44:58,784
Casey Stoner
wins the Australian Grand Prix.
597
00:45:05,916 --> 00:45:09,044
The 2011 world champion!
598
00:45:10,086 --> 00:45:13,464
I won the home grand prix.
I think it was our fifth in a row there.
599
00:45:13,589 --> 00:45:16,425
Won the second world championship
on my birthday.
600
00:45:16,550 --> 00:45:18,051
That's a pretty special day.
601
00:45:20,511 --> 00:45:24,223
Marco Simoncelli was back
on the podium at Phillip Island,
602
00:45:24,348 --> 00:45:27,059
second place his best result yet.
603
00:45:27,184 --> 00:45:32,606
Casey did a great season this year
and he won the title
604
00:45:32,731 --> 00:45:37,110
because this year
he has been number one,
605
00:45:37,235 --> 00:45:41,697
the strongest rider in the track
in every condition and in every race.
606
00:45:41,822 --> 00:45:47,953
My congratulation and also I want to say
good luck to Lorenzo for his injury.
607
00:45:48,078 --> 00:45:51,915
Stoner might have locked up
the title, but the fight was still on.
608
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,918
For a racer, all that ever matters
is the next race.
609
00:45:56,043 --> 00:45:57,794
There were two to go.
610
00:45:57,919 --> 00:46:02,924
I hope to continue to work in
the right way and finish on the podium.
611
00:46:03,049 --> 00:46:09,180
Maybe I hope, also, to stay
on the first step of the podium.
612
00:46:13,058 --> 00:46:15,935
The next race was
at Marco Simoncelli's track.
613
00:46:17,061 --> 00:46:21,148
His nickname, Sic,
is also the acronym of the circuit
614
00:46:21,273 --> 00:46:24,192
which had seen the biggest moments
of his career to date.
615
00:46:25,610 --> 00:46:27,486
SIC Circuit.
616
00:46:27,611 --> 00:46:29,487
I remember the first time
we went there
617
00:46:29,612 --> 00:46:31,155
we found all these SIC T-shirts.
618
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,365
His mum and I bought loads of them.
619
00:46:33,490 --> 00:46:37,368
Because they were
just the thing for us.
620
00:46:37,493 --> 00:46:40,496
It stood
for Sepang International Circuit
621
00:46:40,621 --> 00:46:44,499
but it was
one of those strange coincidences.
622
00:46:46,334 --> 00:46:47,585
At the end of lap one,
623
00:46:47,710 --> 00:46:51,422
Simoncelli was fighting Alvaro Bautista
for fourth place.
624
00:46:51,547 --> 00:46:52,923
Bautista through.
625
00:46:53,048 --> 00:46:57,093
Simoncelli did well just to bring that
back on the inside of Alvaro Bautista.
626
00:46:57,218 --> 00:47:00,596
Stoner leads by a second on that first
lap, but it's not done and dusted.
627
00:47:00,721 --> 00:47:05,267
This is just what we would have wanted
as Bautista was through on Simoncelli.
628
00:47:05,392 --> 00:47:08,770
Down the straight there is one place
Simoncelli struggles on the track.
629
00:47:08,895 --> 00:47:11,397
Oh, as Bautista
then round the outside...
630
00:47:12,189 --> 00:47:16,067
Colin Edwards and Valentino
Rossi were just behind Simoncelli.
631
00:47:59,902 --> 00:48:04,323
I touch him but I was behind Colin.
I see him just at the last moment.
632
00:48:09,661 --> 00:48:13,247
I saw him crash. I was looking up
in the corner and he's crashed.
633
00:48:13,372 --> 00:48:18,251
I'm gonna duck under and get
a good drive to the next corner.
634
00:48:18,376 --> 00:48:20,878
The next thing you know,
he was right in front of us.
635
00:48:21,003 --> 00:48:24,840
He lost the front.
He was just fighting to get it back.
636
00:48:24,965 --> 00:48:30,053
He's a fighter
and he wasn't willing to give it up.
637
00:48:30,178 --> 00:48:35,183
When I saw Marco crash, I think Marco
go on the outside like normal.
638
00:48:35,308 --> 00:48:38,019
Never coming to the inside.
639
00:48:38,144 --> 00:48:42,481
We saw it happen and we looked away
and we're in the opposite direction
640
00:48:42,606 --> 00:48:44,357
from where that crash is happening.
641
00:48:44,482 --> 00:48:47,526
And it just came back to us.
There was nothing we could do.
642
00:48:55,534 --> 00:49:01,373
We can confirm
Marco Simoncelli died today at 4:56pm.
643
00:49:07,253 --> 00:49:09,630
I went to his father.
644
00:49:09,755 --> 00:49:12,174
And...
645
00:49:12,299 --> 00:49:17,595
Just look at the eyes,
that's all you can say.
646
00:50:00,677 --> 00:50:04,180
All the important things Marco did,
he did in Malaysia.
647
00:50:05,389 --> 00:50:09,935
The worst crash, the only time
he hurt himself was in Malaysia.
648
00:50:10,060 --> 00:50:13,480
On the 125, in 2003 or 2004.
649
00:50:13,605 --> 00:50:18,443
Then he won the world championship
in Malaysia.
650
00:50:19,694 --> 00:50:25,074
He set the fastest lap
in the MotoGP test in Malaysia.
651
00:50:26,408 --> 00:50:27,450
Everything.
652
00:50:27,575 --> 00:50:31,287
And then he chose to die in Malaysia.
653
00:50:31,412 --> 00:50:34,581
It's a strange thing. Very strange.
654
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:59,397
I didn't want silence.
Silence creates anguish.
655
00:50:59,522 --> 00:51:01,815
Marco would have wanted noise.
656
00:51:01,940 --> 00:51:04,776
He was a noisy guy.
657
00:51:52,155 --> 00:51:54,073
The race never ends.
658
00:51:55,407 --> 00:52:00,745
The new season began in April 2012
in the darkness of the Qatari desert.
659
00:52:02,955 --> 00:52:04,247
They were all there.
660
00:52:06,165 --> 00:52:07,499
All but one.
661
00:52:14,339 --> 00:52:16,174
Did you think about stopping?
662
00:52:16,299 --> 00:52:17,967
No, never.
663
00:52:18,092 --> 00:52:22,971
It's not a problem of MotoGP.
664
00:52:23,096 --> 00:52:28,392
It was a bad thing
because I lose a friend, you know?
665
00:52:28,517 --> 00:52:35,315
But I never make the link
that this can stop my career.
666
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:38,359
I will stop when I don't like any more
667
00:52:38,484 --> 00:52:43,113
to race with motorcycles
but not for that reason.
668
00:52:46,074 --> 00:52:50,953
Everyone in this world
knows what can happen.
669
00:52:51,078 --> 00:52:53,663
They are not crazy people.
670
00:52:53,788 --> 00:52:57,583
That is a fight
between those guys and...
671
00:52:57,708 --> 00:52:59,334
Death.
672
00:53:00,335 --> 00:53:03,463
In the mind of a rider,
that is the biggest challenge.
673
00:53:03,588 --> 00:53:08,968
They are afraid as any other person,
but they decide to have that fight.
674
00:53:09,093 --> 00:53:11,845
That fight gives a really strong energy
675
00:53:11,970 --> 00:53:15,932
to feel the life,
the blood rolling around your body.
676
00:53:16,057 --> 00:53:19,602
Since the Roman Empire there was
in the Coliseum the gladiators.
677
00:53:19,727 --> 00:53:21,478
These are a kind of gladiator.
678
00:53:21,603 --> 00:53:26,316
If you ask yourself does it make sense?
No.
679
00:53:26,441 --> 00:53:30,945
We are crazy to risk the life
of young people for what?
680
00:53:31,070 --> 00:53:36,075
But it's also true
this is part of human culture.
681
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,995
It's been like this since the beginning
and probably will be like this forever.
682
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:44,958
This reminds us
to respect the things we do.
683
00:53:45,083 --> 00:53:48,544
And... sometimes you get criticized.
684
00:53:48,669 --> 00:53:53,256
This guy... From the sofa,
it's very easy to point the finger.
685
00:53:53,381 --> 00:53:57,176
But then you see these things
and everybody's like,
686
00:53:57,301 --> 00:54:00,637
"Oh, what happened? What happened?"
But it's already too late.
687
00:54:00,762 --> 00:54:06,267
So we are not just some guys
that live the dream.
688
00:54:06,392 --> 00:54:07,976
We are also humans.
689
00:54:08,101 --> 00:54:12,396
This is part of the game.
The game of life.
690
00:54:12,521 --> 00:54:14,981
We're here today,
tomorrow we don't know.
691
00:54:15,106 --> 00:54:19,944
Sometimes in the evening
when the light is fading
692
00:54:20,069 --> 00:54:22,279
you go to bed
and thoughts come back to you.
693
00:54:22,404 --> 00:54:28,868
You re-live certain moments
and it's very sad, very moving.
694
00:54:28,993 --> 00:54:34,206
But the next day,
the light returns, life goes on.
695
00:54:35,081 --> 00:54:38,000
Valentino Rossi
was serving out his time,
696
00:54:38,125 --> 00:54:40,752
the second year of his Ducati contract.
697
00:54:40,877 --> 00:54:44,630
It was hard to see him like that
with out a victory in two years.
698
00:54:44,755 --> 00:54:48,258
To see him like that,
his eyes no longer shining.
699
00:54:48,383 --> 00:54:51,844
To see him unhappy.
It was awful.
700
00:55:00,853 --> 00:55:02,479
Valentino is Valentino.
701
00:55:02,604 --> 00:55:05,106
If they don't give him the perfect bike
the way he wants it,
702
00:55:05,231 --> 00:55:06,482
he can't risk it.
703
00:55:06,607 --> 00:55:10,902
He can't risk his life.
It wasn't safe.
704
00:55:17,116 --> 00:55:22,079
Casey Stoner
had a plan for 2012, do it again.
705
00:55:22,204 --> 00:55:24,456
Win the world championship
and underline the fact
706
00:55:24,581 --> 00:55:27,250
that he was
the number one rider in the world.
707
00:55:27,375 --> 00:55:29,627
The chequered flag
beckons the Australian.
708
00:55:29,752 --> 00:55:31,795
It will be his second successive win.
709
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:37,967
He leads the world championship
by one point after three rounds.
710
00:55:38,092 --> 00:55:40,135
At the fourth race in France,
711
00:55:40,260 --> 00:55:44,180
the Australian announced the other part
of his plan for the year.
712
00:55:44,305 --> 00:55:46,515
Casey now is gonna make
an announcement.
713
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,309
You know this has been coming
for a couple of years now.
714
00:55:49,434 --> 00:55:51,686
At the end of this 2012 season,
715
00:55:51,811 --> 00:55:56,649
I will be... not racing
in the 2013 championship.
716
00:55:56,774 --> 00:56:00,068
I will be finishing my career
at the end of this season in MotoGP.
717
00:56:00,193 --> 00:56:03,779
And go forward
with different things in my life.
718
00:56:03,904 --> 00:56:05,280
How could he do it?
719
00:56:05,405 --> 00:56:07,824
Walk away from it all,
at the age of just 27,
720
00:56:07,949 --> 00:56:11,619
when he's got the best bike,
he's the reigning world champion
721
00:56:11,744 --> 00:56:13,537
and he's making millions?
722
00:56:13,662 --> 00:56:15,705
There were all kinds of theories.
723
00:56:15,830 --> 00:56:17,790
The birth of his daughter Alessandra,
724
00:56:17,915 --> 00:56:21,543
ironically
on Valentino Rossi's birthday.
725
00:56:21,668 --> 00:56:24,671
The possible effect
of Marco Simoncelli's death.
726
00:56:24,796 --> 00:56:29,884
Stoner's loathing of the media
and the MotoGP circus in general.
727
00:56:30,009 --> 00:56:33,053
I'm sure he would like
to live in the Eighties.
728
00:56:33,279 --> 00:56:36,156
Much less media people
came to the racing.
729
00:56:36,281 --> 00:56:39,909
Riders, they don't need
to care about any kind of image.
730
00:56:40,034 --> 00:56:42,119
They could say whatever they want.
731
00:56:42,244 --> 00:56:45,121
Now you have to be
very politically correct.
732
00:56:45,246 --> 00:56:48,165
And you spend long hours
speaking to the press,
733
00:56:48,290 --> 00:56:50,208
doing events for your sponsors.
734
00:56:50,333 --> 00:56:52,626
All I ever wanted to do was go racing.
735
00:56:52,751 --> 00:56:58,631
And unfortunately 90 to 95% of this job
became media appearances.
736
00:56:58,756 --> 00:57:01,091
Everything else but racing.
737
00:57:01,216 --> 00:57:08,306
That's the game now. Every big
sport has a lot of communication
738
00:57:08,431 --> 00:57:10,099
and PR activity behind it.
739
00:57:10,224 --> 00:57:12,935
He was just burned out.
It ate away at him inside.
740
00:57:13,060 --> 00:57:16,646
PR appearances, interviews
and he took it all so personally.
741
00:57:16,771 --> 00:57:20,274
And I said to him,
"Case, just treat it as a job."
742
00:57:21,275 --> 00:57:25,320
I know it's a job.
At the same time you're going out there,
743
00:57:25,445 --> 00:57:27,697
risking every day,
you gotta have passion in it.
744
00:57:27,822 --> 00:57:30,282
When you lose that,
it's hard to find the motivation
745
00:57:30,407 --> 00:57:33,243
to keep going out there
and doing the same things.
746
00:57:33,368 --> 00:57:38,039
He might be retiring,
but Stoner was not backing off.
747
00:57:38,164 --> 00:57:41,125
I wanted to go out
wearing the number one plate.
748
00:57:41,250 --> 00:57:43,585
We made a mistake in Sachsenring.
749
00:57:43,710 --> 00:57:46,921
And quite honestly, I was confident
I would still win the championship.
750
00:57:47,046 --> 00:57:50,257
A month later,
Stoner made a second mistake.
751
00:57:56,554 --> 00:57:58,889
I just made that mistake
in Indianapolis
752
00:57:59,014 --> 00:58:01,933
and destroyed my ankle and that was it.
753
00:58:02,058 --> 00:58:05,394
The impact tore
every ligament in his foot.
754
00:58:05,519 --> 00:58:07,812
He was out for three races.
755
00:58:09,396 --> 00:58:11,356
It was Dani Pedrosa's moment.
756
00:58:12,565 --> 00:58:16,777
He took victory in Germany,
Indianapolis and the Czech Republic.
757
00:58:16,902 --> 00:58:22,324
With six races to go, he was just
13 points behind Jorge Lorenzo.
758
00:58:23,283 --> 00:58:25,868
Pedrosa qualified on pole
for the next race.
759
00:58:25,993 --> 00:58:27,577
The San Marino Grand Prix.
760
00:58:28,703 --> 00:58:32,373
Ready for battle. Dani Pedrosa.
761
00:58:32,498 --> 00:58:35,709
His fourth pole position
of the season.
762
00:58:35,834 --> 00:58:40,964
Round 13.
The MotoGP world championship.
763
00:58:41,089 --> 00:58:43,174
Thirteen points
764
00:58:43,299 --> 00:58:48,929
between number 26 and number 99.
765
00:58:49,054 --> 00:58:53,016
What's this? The bike's being
taken away for Dani Pedrosa.
766
00:58:53,141 --> 00:58:58,312
Is there some kind of problem
for Pedrosa who is in pole?
767
00:58:58,437 --> 00:59:00,147
What is going on?
768
00:59:07,445 --> 00:59:10,448
There is a problem
with Dani Pedrosa's machine.
769
00:59:10,573 --> 00:59:16,078
This would not be fair.
This really just would not be fair.
770
00:59:16,203 --> 00:59:19,247
He does not deserve this
after the season he's put together.
771
00:59:19,372 --> 00:59:22,416
He's behind the safety car, isn't he?
772
00:59:22,541 --> 00:59:24,834
Please, no problem for Dani Pedrosa
773
00:59:24,959 --> 00:59:29,380
because we want to see him and Lorenzo
fight it out for the title.
774
00:59:29,505 --> 00:59:31,340
Will Dani Pedrosa get there?
Here he comes.
775
00:59:31,465 --> 00:59:34,009
He's gonna thread his way through.
No, he's not!
776
00:59:34,134 --> 00:59:36,177
He's starting
from the back of the grid.
777
00:59:36,302 --> 00:59:39,513
You cannot believe the misfortune.
778
00:59:42,474 --> 00:59:45,351
It's Lorenzo leading, Rossi in second,
Bradl in third.
779
00:59:45,476 --> 00:59:49,104
Dani Pedrosa has everything to do
on these first couple of laps.
780
00:59:49,229 --> 00:59:51,564
COMMENTATOR 2: There was some problem
with the front brake.
781
00:59:51,689 --> 00:59:53,941
They managed to get it cleared.
It was too late for Pedrosa
782
00:59:54,066 --> 00:59:57,611
to catch the safety car, that's why
he had to start from back of the grid.
783
00:59:57,736 --> 01:00:00,238
Lorenzo's cleared off at the front.
784
01:00:00,363 --> 01:00:02,239
They come towards La Quercia.
785
01:00:03,073 --> 01:00:08,870
27 laps in this race.
And that's Pedrosa being taken down!
786
01:00:08,995 --> 01:00:11,872
He's been taken down by Hector Barbera.
787
01:00:11,997 --> 01:00:16,167
And that could be
the championship right there.
788
01:00:16,292 --> 01:00:20,379
I cannot believe he can't get through
a season without something...
789
01:00:20,504 --> 01:00:22,631
Ah, it's just awful.
790
01:00:31,848 --> 01:00:34,684
Casey Stoner was back
in time for his home race.
791
01:00:35,893 --> 01:00:38,729
They warned me
when I came back prematurely,
792
01:00:38,854 --> 01:00:40,647
"If you crash
and hurt your foot again,
793
01:00:40,772 --> 01:00:43,274
you're probably never gonna walk
normally again."
794
01:00:46,318 --> 01:00:50,405
He took the 45th
and final victory of his MotoGP career.
795
01:00:53,032 --> 01:00:55,075
But it was Jorge Lorenzo's day.
796
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:59,078
His second MotoGP world title
in three years.
797
01:01:20,724 --> 01:01:24,185
We're gonna watch
Lorenzo come across the line and win!
798
01:01:41,410 --> 01:01:43,912
Two weeks after
his victory in Australia,
799
01:01:44,412 --> 01:01:50,418
Casey Stoner rode his final MotoGP race
at Valencia, taking third place.
800
01:01:50,543 --> 01:01:53,087
Thank you, Casey Stoner
for what you've given us.
801
01:01:53,212 --> 01:01:56,590
It's the end of an amazing career.
802
01:01:57,966 --> 01:02:00,885
An amazing rider as well in MotoGP.
803
01:02:02,469 --> 01:02:05,388
This left a Honda
race machine looking for a rider.
804
01:02:07,848 --> 01:02:12,519
The Honda Racing Corporation had known
for a while who that rider would be.
805
01:02:12,977 --> 01:02:16,605
Several years ago, I thought
806
01:02:16,730 --> 01:02:20,483
maybe he's able
to ride a MotoGP machine.
807
01:02:22,026 --> 01:02:26,697
In 2010, Marc Marquez
was racing in the junior class
808
01:02:26,822 --> 01:02:28,448
and fighting for the title.
809
01:02:28,573 --> 01:02:32,076
No sign of any nerves from
anybody on the team or Marc Marquez.
810
01:02:32,201 --> 01:02:34,995
He is one mature 17-year-old rider
811
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,831
and I'm sure he already has
a game plan for this race.
812
01:02:37,956 --> 01:02:41,834
COMMENTATOR 2: Instead of winning,
he should be going to school.
813
01:02:41,959 --> 01:02:44,753
On the warm-up lap,
the track was completely dry.
814
01:02:44,878 --> 01:02:47,171
Only the last corner
was a little bit wet.
815
01:02:47,296 --> 01:02:51,341
When I arrived there, I feel normal.
I didn't see the water.
816
01:02:51,466 --> 01:02:54,427
See Marquez is going fairly quick.
817
01:02:54,552 --> 01:02:57,263
He's pushing to see how much grip
there is... And he's gone!
818
01:02:57,388 --> 01:02:59,473
This could be massive
for the championship.
819
01:02:59,598 --> 01:03:01,850
That's huge.
And he's broken the front fairing.
820
01:03:01,975 --> 01:03:03,601
Can he get the bike back out there?
821
01:03:03,726 --> 01:03:07,479
This could be where the championship
gets decided.
822
01:03:07,604 --> 01:03:12,567
A stupid crash.
You lose all the work in one year.
823
01:03:13,693 --> 01:03:16,529
He's going in, pointing.
He's going back into pit lane.
824
01:03:16,654 --> 01:03:19,865
He had a chance of the championship
and he'd just thrown it away.
825
01:03:19,990 --> 01:03:22,909
There was some panic there,
me and also the team.
826
01:03:23,034 --> 01:03:26,704
He needs the handlebars
working on. There's Julià , his father.
827
01:03:26,829 --> 01:03:29,873
They're saying he's got to go out.
Telling him to get back out there.
828
01:03:29,998 --> 01:03:32,583
Panic stations at the Ajo Derbi team.
829
01:03:32,708 --> 01:03:37,629
The people that flocked
to that motorcycle to help him
830
01:03:37,754 --> 01:03:41,632
get a chance of doing the grand prix,
831
01:03:41,757 --> 01:03:43,592
they saw that he was something special.
832
01:03:43,717 --> 01:03:48,596
In nine minutes,
they repaired the bike.
833
01:03:48,721 --> 01:03:52,307
Marquez, he will start
from the back of the grid.
834
01:03:52,432 --> 01:03:54,642
Nine laps of the Estoril circuit,
835
01:03:54,767 --> 01:03:57,561
could it determine
the outcome of the championship?
836
01:03:57,686 --> 01:04:00,855
Marquez has made a cracking start
from the back of the grid.
837
01:04:00,980 --> 01:04:03,273
Already around the outside,
he goes through.
838
01:04:03,398 --> 01:04:07,026
He knows he has to make a good start.
From seventeenth to fourth.
839
01:04:07,151 --> 01:04:10,195
Marquez is through on Jonas Folger,
now on Pol Espargaro.
840
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:12,864
This is where he's gonna make his move.
841
01:04:14,740 --> 01:04:17,200
One lap to go.
842
01:04:17,325 --> 01:04:21,078
The most important lap
in the 17-year-old's life.
843
01:04:21,203 --> 01:04:24,956
There he goes. Up the inside
of Nico Terol, Marquez leads the way.
844
01:04:25,081 --> 01:04:27,208
If Marquez wins this
and he's in second place...
845
01:04:27,333 --> 01:04:30,169
Here he comes into turn three.
Nico Terol back into the lead.
846
01:04:30,294 --> 01:04:32,838
Wide on exit for Terol.
Marquez back in front.
847
01:04:32,963 --> 01:04:35,423
Marquez is very, very fast
through the Parabolica.
848
01:04:35,548 --> 01:04:38,759
He's chasing his tenth
grand prix victory of the season.
849
01:04:38,884 --> 01:04:41,595
This could be the ride
that gets the world title.
850
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,848
Marc Marquez wins here in Portugal!
851
01:04:44,973 --> 01:04:49,644
I won the title.
We cannot repeat that. It's impossible.
852
01:04:49,769 --> 01:04:52,229
That moment, that situation.
853
01:04:52,354 --> 01:04:55,565
Anything that could have
happened to Marc Marquez did happen.
854
01:04:55,690 --> 01:05:01,445
He came back, showed everything today
that's needed to be a world champion.
855
01:05:01,570 --> 01:05:06,533
He'd never won
a grand prix before 2010.
856
01:05:06,658 --> 01:05:09,744
He won his first grand prix in 2010
midway through the season.
857
01:05:09,869 --> 01:05:12,746
He won a load on the trot
and he won the championship.
858
01:05:12,871 --> 01:05:19,002
Grown men cried in that garage.
They could not believe it.
859
01:05:19,127 --> 01:05:24,048
Look at Emilio Alzamora.
He's aged about ten years in nine laps.
860
01:05:31,847 --> 01:05:36,017
Today belongs to
the 17-year-old Spaniard Marc Marquez.
861
01:05:36,142 --> 01:05:37,726
Where will this end?
862
01:05:37,851 --> 01:05:43,147
This is the start
of a very, very exciting career.
863
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:50,611
Marquez moved up to Moto2
in 2011 and went on the attack.
864
01:05:51,546 --> 01:05:55,341
He did everything all the great riders
before him had done, only more.
865
01:05:56,550 --> 01:05:59,594
He crashed out
of the first three races,
866
01:05:59,719 --> 01:06:01,846
then won seven of the next ten.
867
01:06:01,971 --> 01:06:05,641
It's going to be Marc
Marquez who wins back to back races.
868
01:06:05,766 --> 01:06:09,269
He was leading the Moto2
championship with three races to go.
869
01:06:10,603 --> 01:06:14,898
His star was rising faster than Rossi,
Lorenzo and Stoner's before him.
870
01:06:15,023 --> 01:06:19,068
Only Pedrosa had won the intermediate
class at his first attempt.
871
01:06:20,527 --> 01:06:24,155
Marquez's determination to push
the limits of his bike and tires,
872
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:28,284
to find ways to go even faster,
saw him running at race pace
873
01:06:28,409 --> 01:06:30,994
every second that he could
in the practice sessions.
874
01:06:32,245 --> 01:06:34,664
At the end of practice
before the Australian race,
875
01:06:34,789 --> 01:06:37,583
after the flag had come out
to end the session,
876
01:06:37,708 --> 01:06:40,210
and when the other riders
were slowing down,
877
01:06:40,335 --> 01:06:42,962
Marquez was still going flat out.
878
01:07:04,984 --> 01:07:08,195
He was sent to the back of the grid
in punishment.
879
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:09,904
It didn't make much difference.
880
01:07:10,029 --> 01:07:12,031
Watching Marquez from the back.
881
01:07:12,156 --> 01:07:14,324
He's flown up the middle of that field.
882
01:07:14,449 --> 01:07:17,827
So it hasn't mattered one bit,
has it really?
883
01:07:17,952 --> 01:07:22,289
Who will be in third place? It's gonna
be Marc Marquez in third place.
884
01:07:22,414 --> 01:07:26,209
Starting from the back of the grid.
He's ridden through to third place.
885
01:07:26,334 --> 01:07:32,131
Marquez is a very, very
happy 18-year-old.
886
01:07:34,508 --> 01:07:37,969
A week later,
at the penultimate race in Malaysia,
887
01:07:38,094 --> 01:07:40,888
Marquez crashed hard in practice.
888
01:07:45,058 --> 01:07:52,398
The blow to his head damaged
a branch of the optic nerve.
889
01:07:52,523 --> 01:07:54,107
Mark could see like this,
890
01:07:54,232 --> 01:07:56,901
it was when he did this
that there was a problem.
891
01:07:57,026 --> 01:08:02,239
If he can't recover 100%,
he cannot do this sport.
892
01:08:02,364 --> 01:08:04,824
Because they're always
looking up like this.
893
01:08:04,949 --> 01:08:08,327
It's a frightening injury.
894
01:08:09,453 --> 01:08:11,455
Marquez watched with one eye
895
01:08:11,580 --> 01:08:14,708
as the Moto2 championship
slipped away to Stefan Bradl.
896
01:08:14,833 --> 01:08:17,460
I was suffering. He's my son.
897
01:08:17,585 --> 01:08:20,087
They say there may be complications.
898
01:08:20,212 --> 01:08:22,088
Marquez ended the year
899
01:08:22,213 --> 01:08:24,590
not knowing
if he would ever race again.
900
01:08:25,507 --> 01:08:29,135
Marc is very positive, so are
the family and the people around him.
901
01:08:29,260 --> 01:08:32,638
He was the one that handled it best.
902
01:08:32,763 --> 01:08:36,516
He must have had his moments
but he never showed it.
903
01:08:36,641 --> 01:08:38,225
It's the kind of person he is.
904
01:08:38,350 --> 01:08:40,310
"Don't worry, give it time,
it'll get better."
905
01:08:40,435 --> 01:08:43,563
It was micro surgery.
906
01:08:43,688 --> 01:08:48,484
They changed
the angle of the muscle slightly.
907
01:08:48,609 --> 01:08:51,361
Now he sees perfectly.
He's cured.
908
01:08:52,278 --> 01:08:55,406
Oh, and they're both
running wide. Luthi follows Espergaro.
909
01:08:55,531 --> 01:08:57,866
Marc Marquez takes over the front.
910
01:08:57,991 --> 01:09:00,284
Oh! Iannone!
911
01:09:00,409 --> 01:09:03,078
There was no way through there,
but through he went.
912
01:09:03,203 --> 01:09:07,290
Marquez comes back at him immediately,
right across the front of him.
913
01:09:07,415 --> 01:09:09,667
That is aggressive, isn't it?
914
01:09:11,168 --> 01:09:12,419
Luthi's gone wide!
915
01:09:12,544 --> 01:09:16,923
They were right next to each other
going into that first corner.
916
01:09:18,758 --> 01:09:21,010
What a comeback by Marc Marquez!
917
01:09:21,135 --> 01:09:24,638
He wins the opening round
of the Moto2 world championship
918
01:09:24,763 --> 01:09:26,097
here in Qatar.
919
01:09:26,222 --> 01:09:31,769
After missing those final three
grand prix with that horrible injury.
920
01:09:35,022 --> 01:09:40,569
Oh, and that was Tom Luthi. He's really
not happy with Marc Marquez there.
921
01:09:42,070 --> 01:09:47,450
Marquez went on to win nine
races and the 2012 Moto2 championship.
922
01:09:47,575 --> 01:09:52,788
His season ended the same way it began,
with both victory and controversy.
923
01:09:52,913 --> 01:09:55,832
Marc Marquez
may have qualified in second place
924
01:09:55,957 --> 01:09:59,210
but he will start from the back row
of the grid, the new world champion
925
01:09:59,335 --> 01:10:06,342
after an incident in practice on Friday
afternoon with him and Simone Corsi.
926
01:10:07,676 --> 01:10:11,721
That was aggressive contact
several times
927
01:10:11,846 --> 01:10:13,514
with other riders during practice.
928
01:10:13,639 --> 01:10:15,974
It was a recurrence
of a number of things
929
01:10:16,099 --> 01:10:18,017
that had happened during the year.
930
01:10:18,142 --> 01:10:20,769
So that was like
an accumulation of penalties.
931
01:10:20,894 --> 01:10:24,272
To say, "OK, you cannot ride like this."
So he was sent to the back.
932
01:10:25,690 --> 01:10:27,274
He's an aggressive rider.
933
01:10:27,399 --> 01:10:29,359
He's been involved
in controversy all season.
934
01:10:29,484 --> 01:10:31,444
Speaking to Emilio Alzamora
on the grid,
935
01:10:31,569 --> 01:10:35,281
there is no remorse there from his team
manager, his mentor, Emilio Alzamora.
936
01:10:35,406 --> 01:10:38,992
In his opinion, he can't understand
why there was a penalty at all.
937
01:10:39,117 --> 01:10:41,160
If that's what he thinks,
you can guarantee
938
01:10:41,285 --> 01:10:43,412
that's what Marc Marquez thinks,
as well.
939
01:10:43,537 --> 01:10:47,582
COMMENTATOR 2: Marquez has already made
up about ten, eleven positions or so.
940
01:10:47,707 --> 01:10:51,627
And he's tried to weave through
heading up towards turn two.
941
01:10:51,752 --> 01:10:56,131
What a first few corners. He's already
up to about 13th position there.
942
01:10:56,256 --> 01:10:58,299
It's not gonna be easy from here.
943
01:11:00,676 --> 01:11:04,930
Yeah, this race is far from over,
a long way to go.
944
01:11:05,055 --> 01:11:08,308
Whoa! Marquez and Aegerter
both touched in there.
945
01:11:08,433 --> 01:11:11,978
Wow, they've done amazing
to hang on, though. Both of them.
946
01:11:18,401 --> 01:11:24,698
Here he comes. He's not gonna
be shy about this one, is he? Wow.
947
01:11:29,285 --> 01:11:32,538
Marc Marquez will win
his ninth race of the season!
948
01:11:32,663 --> 01:11:35,499
What a ride by the world champion!
949
01:11:36,458 --> 01:11:39,252
That is one of the performances
of the season
950
01:11:39,377 --> 01:11:42,922
in any class of grand prix racing.
951
01:11:43,047 --> 01:11:45,382
That's it! That's his time done
in the lower classes.
952
01:11:45,507 --> 01:11:48,384
He's with the big boys now.
What an apprenticeship.
953
01:11:48,509 --> 01:11:53,597
Welcome to MotoGP, Marc Marquez.
The rest of you, be warned.
954
01:11:58,643 --> 01:12:03,314
2013, Rossi returns to Yamaha.
955
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:05,441
Can he still do it?
956
01:12:05,566 --> 01:12:09,403
34 years old.
Two years without a win.
957
01:12:09,528 --> 01:12:12,906
This is his 14th season
in the premiere class.
958
01:12:13,031 --> 01:12:16,659
Most riders are at their peak
for very few years.
959
01:12:16,784 --> 01:12:20,662
One or two have stayed competitive
for a decade or so.
960
01:12:20,787 --> 01:12:25,249
But 14 years in the premiere class
and still a winner?
961
01:12:26,541 --> 01:12:29,502
Nobody. Never.
962
01:12:33,547 --> 01:12:38,218
Before the season begins,
Honda and Yamaha go testing in Texas.
963
01:12:38,343 --> 01:12:40,511
The structure
in any good racing team
964
01:12:40,636 --> 01:12:42,804
is to have young riders
come in to put pressure
965
01:12:42,929 --> 01:12:45,932
on the older rider
and to extend their career.
966
01:12:46,057 --> 01:12:50,102
Lorenzo was brought in in 2007
to do exactly what he has done.
967
01:12:50,227 --> 01:12:54,856
To move in and gain experience
from the old bull
968
01:12:54,981 --> 01:12:56,273
and then push the old bull out.
969
01:12:56,398 --> 01:12:57,440
That's exactly what he did.
970
01:12:57,565 --> 01:13:02,319
And off we went to Ducati.
And here we are back again.
971
01:13:02,444 --> 01:13:05,822
The old bull is not
the threat that he once was.
972
01:13:05,947 --> 01:13:09,408
Lorenzo is the world champion last year
and 26 years old
973
01:13:09,533 --> 01:13:13,078
and still enormously talented.
The man's a machine.
974
01:13:16,956 --> 01:13:21,210
I'm surprised by the desire
he still has to go racing
975
01:13:21,335 --> 01:13:23,837
and to put himself on the line.
976
01:13:26,005 --> 01:13:29,258
Dinner at night,
the way he talks about racing,
977
01:13:29,383 --> 01:13:33,637
you can feel
the passion is huge for him.
978
01:13:35,513 --> 01:13:39,099
Still I feel a little bit strange
when I saw Valentino,
979
01:13:39,224 --> 01:13:41,935
when I saw Lorenzo,
when I saw Pedrosa...
980
01:13:42,060 --> 01:13:46,898
Especially with Valentino.
But in the end, they are my opponents.
981
01:13:47,023 --> 01:13:50,234
And we need to be stronger, too.
982
01:13:50,359 --> 01:13:54,154
We cannot say
"OK, these guys are faster than me."
983
01:13:59,951 --> 01:14:03,454
Testing
is the endless quest for more speed.
984
01:14:09,208 --> 01:14:15,839
When you ride, you have
an idea to go as fast as possible
985
01:14:15,964 --> 01:14:21,636
and you have to understand the way
to set the bike to make this idea true.
986
01:14:22,511 --> 01:14:23,970
Everything is adjustable.
987
01:14:24,095 --> 01:14:27,389
The chassis, the suspension,
the electronics.
988
01:14:27,514 --> 01:14:30,350
In the end, all riders
are looking for the same adjustment.
989
01:14:30,475 --> 01:14:34,937
That magic click.
The one that gives you confidence.
990
01:14:35,062 --> 01:14:38,440
In bikes, the center of gravity
is changing all the time
991
01:14:38,565 --> 01:14:39,899
depending on the body.
992
01:14:40,024 --> 01:14:43,694
It's not a fixed center of gravity,
weight distribution...
993
01:14:43,819 --> 01:14:45,695
Everything changes in one second.
994
01:14:45,820 --> 01:14:48,489
It's something magic
between what the bike can be
995
01:14:48,614 --> 01:14:50,616
and what the rider can do.
996
01:14:51,783 --> 01:14:54,577
Dani Pedrosa is coming off
his best year ever.
997
01:14:54,702 --> 01:14:58,330
Seven wins in 2012.
More than anybody else.
998
01:14:58,455 --> 01:15:02,375
Not bad for a rider
once dismissed as too small at 5'2"
999
01:15:02,500 --> 01:15:04,418
to handle a MotoGP bike.
1000
01:15:06,294 --> 01:15:09,630
People I don't think realize
that with the body that Dani has
1001
01:15:09,755 --> 01:15:11,798
to ride this bike
is a super difficult job.
1002
01:15:11,923 --> 01:15:13,841
Because these bikes are big and heavy.
1003
01:15:14,067 --> 01:15:16,235
The leverage you can do
moving on the bike
1004
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:18,904
with short arms and legs
is more difficult.
1005
01:15:19,029 --> 01:15:20,530
When you brake, you cannot move.
1006
01:15:20,655 --> 01:15:23,449
And in the corner
it's more difficult to control the bike.
1007
01:15:23,574 --> 01:15:28,954
It's not easy being small,
to get the grip I'd like to have.
1008
01:15:29,079 --> 01:15:33,750
Less weight, less load on the tire,
less grip.
1009
01:15:35,251 --> 01:15:38,254
The circuit of the Americas
is a new track.
1010
01:15:38,379 --> 01:15:40,756
It's the first time here for everybody.
1011
01:15:40,881 --> 01:15:44,676
At the end of two days testing,
the Hondas are on top.
1012
01:15:44,801 --> 01:15:47,303
Marquez just ahead of Pedrosa.
1013
01:15:48,262 --> 01:15:51,723
It's time to go racing.
Who's it going to be?
1014
01:15:51,848 --> 01:15:54,809
I believe Dani.
Last year, he won seven races.
1015
01:15:54,934 --> 01:16:00,147
The package of Honda's machine,
Dani's riding, skill, and the team,
1016
01:16:00,272 --> 01:16:03,566
this package is now very, very strong.
1017
01:16:04,984 --> 01:16:10,447
Marc Marquez has a high level of talent,
but he needs more time.
1018
01:16:11,531 --> 01:16:15,618
Lorenzo was third fastest
in Texas. Rossi was fifth.
1019
01:16:15,743 --> 01:16:21,623
I don't know if Valentino
will be able to win again
1020
01:16:21,748 --> 01:16:24,584
this year or the next one.
1021
01:16:24,709 --> 01:16:27,545
Because he passed two years
in another world
1022
01:16:27,670 --> 01:16:30,547
and he lose completely
all his information
1023
01:16:30,672 --> 01:16:35,718
from his computer.
1024
01:16:35,843 --> 01:16:39,638
All the information to be fast.
1025
01:16:39,763 --> 01:16:44,350
This year he has to begin again.
1026
01:16:44,475 --> 01:16:49,313
To learn again to go fast.
To learn again to win.
1027
01:16:49,438 --> 01:16:53,650
For Valentino,
it's the possibility to be happy again.
1028
01:16:53,775 --> 01:16:55,485
Yeah, for sure.
1029
01:17:02,033 --> 01:17:06,328
If it all goes well,
are you ready to ring the bells?
1030
01:17:06,453 --> 01:17:10,582
Don Giuseppe has lubricated the bells.
1031
01:17:10,707 --> 01:17:11,916
Tomorrow we ring them!
1032
01:17:12,041 --> 01:17:13,709
Let's hope so!
1033
01:18:56,726 --> 01:18:58,769
Who's going to finish in second place?
1034
01:18:58,894 --> 01:19:01,479
Is it the return of the doctor
in second place? It is!
1035
01:19:01,604 --> 01:19:04,148
Rossi's second!
Marquez is third!
1036
01:19:29,756 --> 01:19:34,469
Marc Marquez, can he go
a step further and win here in Texas?
1037
01:19:39,182 --> 01:19:40,474
It's very exciting.
1038
01:19:40,599 --> 01:19:41,725
Here comes my son.
1039
01:19:41,850 --> 01:19:44,227
Hey, he's in front,
it's even more exciting.
1040
01:19:52,109 --> 01:19:54,611
He spends the whole session
with his fingers crossed.
1041
01:19:54,736 --> 01:19:55,820
The whole session.
1042
01:19:55,945 --> 01:19:57,863
Over the crest for the first time.
1043
01:19:57,988 --> 01:20:00,865
Try holding your fingers crossed
for longer than five minutes.
1044
01:20:00,990 --> 01:20:02,866
Marc Marquez now into second place.
1045
01:20:02,991 --> 01:20:05,868
He does it for the whole race.
He's scary to watch with.
1046
01:20:05,993 --> 01:20:10,038
Any little movement that Marc will have,
he shrieks or makes a sudden movement.
1047
01:20:10,163 --> 01:20:11,831
It scares me more.
I can't stand next to him.
1048
01:20:11,956 --> 01:20:13,332
You suffer a lot
1049
01:20:13,457 --> 01:20:17,419
but then if everything ends well
you feel such joy.
1050
01:20:17,544 --> 01:20:19,837
Here he comes!
1051
01:20:19,962 --> 01:20:24,424
We could be seeing the biggest thing
to hit grand prix motorcycle racing
1052
01:20:24,549 --> 01:20:29,554
since Valentino Rossi arrived
in the premiere class 13 years ago.
1053
01:20:29,679 --> 01:20:33,724
Rossi will be disappointed in sixth
place. We ride with Dani Pedrosa.
1054
01:20:33,849 --> 01:20:37,352
That speck in front of him
is his teammate Marc Marquez.
1055
01:20:37,477 --> 01:20:41,939
Oh, Dad's looking on.
Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
1056
01:20:42,064 --> 01:20:44,858
Here he comes through turn 19.
One more corner to go.
1057
01:20:44,983 --> 01:20:47,902
And the Circuit of the Americas
can acclaim Marc Marquez
1058
01:20:48,027 --> 01:20:50,946
through turn 20 he comes.
1059
01:20:51,071 --> 01:20:53,615
Marc Marquez, the youngest ever winner
1060
01:20:53,740 --> 01:20:59,620
of a premiere class grand prix
motorcycle race wins in Texas!
1061
01:21:04,708 --> 01:21:07,627
The crowd rise for the new boy.
1062
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:16,010
And look, Valentino Rossi
shakes hands with Marc Marquez.
1063
01:21:16,135 --> 01:21:18,470
And a doff of the cap from the doctor.
1064
01:21:46,288 --> 01:21:49,958
Surely, nobody better to present
the birthday cake to him
1065
01:21:50,083 --> 01:21:51,876
than his mom, Maria.
1066
01:21:52,001 --> 01:21:55,671
Lorenzo, happy birthday!
26 years old today.
1067
01:21:58,590 --> 01:22:01,217
Lorenzo's 26th birthday celebrations
1068
01:22:01,342 --> 01:22:04,511
included the honor
of having the final corner at Jerez,
1069
01:22:04,636 --> 01:22:08,848
the scene of many last lap clashes,
named after him.
1070
01:22:18,816 --> 01:22:21,527
Marc Marquez is going
to have a dig at Jorge Lorenzo.
1071
01:22:21,652 --> 01:22:24,196
Whoa, Marquez, he was forced
to pick the bike up there.
1072
01:22:24,321 --> 01:22:25,989
That could've been both of them.
1073
01:22:26,114 --> 01:22:30,660
In 2013, Race Direction
introduced a new penalty system
1074
01:22:30,785 --> 01:22:33,370
modeled on the driving license,
1075
01:22:33,495 --> 01:22:35,622
with points imposed
for dangerous riding.
1076
01:22:35,747 --> 01:22:38,875
Whoa, Marquez again!
He's so close to the rear.
1077
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:41,168
There's inches separating their tires.
1078
01:22:41,293 --> 01:22:43,795
Marc Marquez made us think
about a point system
1079
01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:47,340
because he was very close
to the limit so many times
1080
01:22:47,465 --> 01:22:49,967
that we needed
a way of accounting for that.
1081
01:22:50,092 --> 01:22:52,094
How many times
have we told you to take it easy?
1082
01:22:52,219 --> 01:22:55,555
It's just gonna get
worse and worse. Marquez again!
1083
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,057
He was up in the air
fishtailing all over the place!
1084
01:22:58,182 --> 01:22:59,975
He's sideways coming into the corner.
1085
01:23:00,100 --> 01:23:03,186
Modeled on the driving license,
everyone understands it.
1086
01:23:03,311 --> 01:23:04,895
We just formalized the warning.
1087
01:23:05,854 --> 01:23:08,690
So instead of just a verbal warning,
it now becomes a point.
1088
01:23:08,815 --> 01:23:12,693
You add up points and you get to four
and you have to start at the back.
1089
01:23:12,818 --> 01:23:14,903
So is there
any way through for Marquez?
1090
01:23:15,028 --> 01:23:18,031
Look at Lorenzo!
He gets away beautifully down there.
1091
01:23:18,156 --> 01:23:21,909
Marquez is going to come through
and he's going to run it wide.
1092
01:23:22,034 --> 01:23:23,952
Lorenzo goes wide with him.
1093
01:23:24,077 --> 01:23:26,162
Is there another chance
at the final corner?
1094
01:23:26,287 --> 01:23:29,915
Can he do Lorenzo
at Lorenzo Corner?
1095
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:33,126
Pedrosa leads.
Is there any way through for Marquez?
1096
01:23:33,251 --> 01:23:34,794
He's going to have a go, you know.
1097
01:23:34,919 --> 01:23:39,548
They collide! They've collided!
How many times have we seen it?
1098
01:23:39,673 --> 01:23:43,009
Marquez has done it!
Oh, in that final corner!
1099
01:23:43,134 --> 01:23:46,262
It's Pedrosa who's gonna come
across the line from Marquez!
1100
01:23:46,387 --> 01:23:48,389
Lorenzo is gonna be furious!
1101
01:23:48,514 --> 01:23:52,518
- That's Lorenzo's corner.
- Oh, yeah? I didn't think that.
1102
01:23:52,643 --> 01:23:53,977
Have you spoken to him?
1103
01:23:54,102 --> 01:23:59,857
I tried but he doesn't want to.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry for him.
1104
01:23:59,982 --> 01:24:03,235
But I know that he can be angry.
1105
01:24:05,445 --> 01:24:07,947
The wag
of the finger from Jorge Lorenzo.
1106
01:24:08,072 --> 01:24:10,908
Had that incident occurred
earlier in the race,
1107
01:24:11,033 --> 01:24:12,743
we wouldn't have been so lenient.
1108
01:24:12,868 --> 01:24:16,580
But the last corner, the last lap
and Lorenzo left a significant gap
1109
01:24:16,705 --> 01:24:20,208
that any rider in his right mind
would attempt to go through.
1110
01:24:20,333 --> 01:24:22,501
Last corner.
1111
01:24:24,753 --> 01:24:26,546
Two great champions.
1112
01:24:26,671 --> 01:24:29,423
The guy behind tries to go in front
1113
01:24:29,548 --> 01:24:32,259
and the guy in front doesn't want
to arrive behind.
1114
01:24:32,384 --> 01:24:33,927
It happens like this.
1115
01:24:34,052 --> 01:24:37,680
It is also the good things of racing.
1116
01:24:37,805 --> 01:24:42,684
And I'm very upset
that I wasn't fast enough
1117
01:24:42,809 --> 01:24:44,143
to go with Marc.
1118
01:24:44,268 --> 01:24:47,729
and to be in the last corner
together with Marc and Jorge
1119
01:24:47,854 --> 01:24:50,773
because maybe it is also more funny.
1120
01:25:01,575 --> 01:25:04,035
MARQUEZ'S FATHER: What Marc
went through in the first five races
1121
01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:05,953
only he knows.
1122
01:25:08,789 --> 01:25:15,504
Until he got to grips with the power
and had some experiences with the bike,
1123
01:25:15,629 --> 01:25:19,174
he was taking enormous risks
every session.
1124
01:25:19,299 --> 01:25:24,429
Every practice, every race,
it was just, "Let's see what happens."
1125
01:25:24,554 --> 01:25:28,391
Every weekend I'd go out on Friday
for the first lap at the limit,
1126
01:25:28,516 --> 01:25:31,393
and I'd finish the last corner
on Sunday at the limit.
1127
01:25:31,518 --> 01:25:37,440
Every session was like, "Let's see
if I fall off or if I can do it."
1128
01:26:05,759 --> 01:26:09,053
As soon as the camera panned
to him, we could see he was crawling.
1129
01:26:09,178 --> 01:26:13,432
There wasn't ever that moment
of heart-stopping "Is he OK?"
1130
01:26:15,725 --> 01:26:18,227
To see him moving immediately
even though the visor was off,
1131
01:26:18,352 --> 01:26:21,313
that was a bit of a God-send,
to be honest.
1132
01:26:22,689 --> 01:26:26,442
My feelings were with his mum and father
who we were with at the medical center.
1133
01:26:26,567 --> 01:26:29,653
We didn't know how bad his face was.
What had happened to his head.
1134
01:26:29,778 --> 01:26:34,657
We could see the visor was off. They
must have nerves of steel, those two.
1135
01:26:34,782 --> 01:26:36,200
MARQUEZ'S MOTHER: I get nervous.
1136
01:26:36,325 --> 01:26:40,162
But I tell myself I must stay calm
1137
01:26:40,287 --> 01:26:42,080
because in the end
you can't fix anything.
1138
01:26:42,205 --> 01:26:44,916
If you get worked up,
what are you going to do?
1139
01:26:45,041 --> 01:26:49,420
You can't fix anything. You can't help
your son if you get nervous.
1140
01:26:52,423 --> 01:26:55,592
On Friday evening he was worried
because his face was all swollen.
1141
01:26:55,717 --> 01:26:58,761
He was icing it.
He said, "Mum, how am I going to look?"
1142
01:26:59,803 --> 01:27:03,848
I brake at the same point.
But just a little bit more aggressive.
1143
01:27:03,973 --> 01:27:07,935
The front wheel was locking, pushed me
to the grass and when I was there,
1144
01:27:08,060 --> 01:27:11,313
I saw the wall,
I was going directly to the wall
1145
01:27:11,438 --> 01:27:13,606
and I just jumped off the bike.
1146
01:27:13,731 --> 01:27:15,649
It was better like that.
1147
01:27:15,774 --> 01:27:17,609
At which speed
did you lose the front?
1148
01:27:17,734 --> 01:27:21,362
When I lost the front,
338km/h.
1149
01:27:21,487 --> 01:27:25,073
Then when I crashed, 300km/h.
1150
01:27:25,990 --> 01:27:29,284
This now looks not so good,
1151
01:27:29,510 --> 01:27:33,013
but yesterday it was much worse.
1152
01:27:34,264 --> 01:27:36,182
He was very lucky there, very lucky.
1153
01:27:36,307 --> 01:27:39,476
Yeah.
Very, very, very, very, very lucky.
1154
01:27:39,601 --> 01:27:42,812
Because it can be a lot worse.
1155
01:27:42,937 --> 01:27:46,690
But in the end you say,
"We were lucky. Nothing happened."
1156
01:27:46,815 --> 01:27:50,902
Just a shock, on we go back to work.
1157
01:27:51,027 --> 01:27:53,571
Round five of the MotoGP
World Championship
1158
01:27:53,696 --> 01:27:56,407
is about to get underway
here in Magello.
1159
01:27:56,532 --> 01:28:00,035
DR COSTA: Marquez was certain to ride.
1160
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:04,581
He never considered
it would be too difficult.
1161
01:28:04,706 --> 01:28:07,542
He had a lot of bruising
and a fractured shoulder
1162
01:28:07,667 --> 01:28:11,754
but he quickly put the crash
out of his mind
1163
01:28:11,879 --> 01:28:13,380
and he rode a great race.
1164
01:28:17,926 --> 01:28:21,054
To be honest,
I worry about him.
1165
01:28:21,179 --> 01:28:22,180
He's very young.
1166
01:28:22,305 --> 01:28:25,433
And when you are young,
when you are 20, you don't see the risk.
1167
01:28:27,935 --> 01:28:29,937
And I was completely the same as him.
1168
01:28:30,062 --> 01:28:32,022
So I understand him.
1169
01:28:32,147 --> 01:28:36,442
You have this hunger and this ambition.
1170
01:28:36,567 --> 01:28:42,114
And I can do it. I can win
the championship in my first year.
1171
01:28:42,239 --> 01:28:46,451
But anyway, every rider's different.
1172
01:28:46,576 --> 01:28:50,371
You have to respect
the mentality of the riders.
1173
01:28:50,496 --> 01:28:57,211
And this mentality will give him
probably a lot of crashes in the future.
1174
01:28:57,336 --> 01:28:59,713
But also will give him
very good results.
1175
01:28:59,838 --> 01:29:02,924
Until he finally understands
1176
01:29:03,049 --> 01:29:07,261
or perceives a little bit more
this kind of risk.
1177
01:29:10,639 --> 01:29:14,100
And that
is Dani Pedrosa who's gone down!
1178
01:29:14,225 --> 01:29:18,938
No, it's Marc Marquez
who's gone from second place.
1179
01:29:19,063 --> 01:29:24,068
The important thing
is for Marquez to do as Lorenzo says.
1180
01:29:24,193 --> 01:29:27,779
With crashes and injuries,
you gain the kind of experience
1181
01:29:27,904 --> 01:29:31,866
which led Lorenzo to focus
and become who he is today.
1182
01:29:31,991 --> 01:29:36,787
He who plays chess with danger,
with risk, with death,
1183
01:29:36,912 --> 01:29:43,919
is always a person with the capacity
to endure injuries.
1184
01:29:44,044 --> 01:29:49,174
Your human limits,
the fact of your being mortal,
1185
01:29:49,299 --> 01:29:53,011
helps you to climb
the enchanted mountain of your dreams.
1186
01:29:53,928 --> 01:29:56,847
Jorge Lorenzo has done
the business. And look at that!
1187
01:29:56,972 --> 01:30:00,350
That's why he is number one.
That's why he's world champion.
1188
01:30:00,475 --> 01:30:03,769
He's back with a vengeance.
Second place is Dani Pedrosa.
1189
01:30:03,894 --> 01:30:06,855
Another podium finish
for Cal Crutchlow.
1190
01:30:08,523 --> 01:30:12,527
Lorenzo, Pedrosa, Crutchlow.
1191
01:30:12,652 --> 01:30:15,780
Two Spaniards and an Englishman.
1192
01:30:15,905 --> 01:30:18,574
Where's the Italian?
The King of Mugello.
1193
01:30:18,699 --> 01:30:23,745
Seven-times winner here.
Where is Valentino Rossi?
1194
01:32:01,465 --> 01:32:04,009
I'm lucky because I'm OK
because it was a bad crash.
1195
01:32:04,134 --> 01:32:06,594
When Bautista hit me on my foot,
1196
01:32:06,719 --> 01:32:10,347
And I lose the control of the bike
and I go to the wall.
1197
01:32:10,472 --> 01:32:12,474
And, "Fuck", I say.
1198
01:32:12,599 --> 01:32:16,269
I was OK,
because I put the bike in front of me.
1199
01:32:16,394 --> 01:32:21,190
But the impact was high. Yeah, bad.
1200
01:32:42,334 --> 01:32:45,045
The good thing
is that I didn't get hurt.
1201
01:32:45,170 --> 01:32:48,506
We'll try again in Barcelona
in two weeks.
1202
01:32:52,510 --> 01:32:55,012
I could have had a good race,
I could have been on the podium.
1203
01:32:55,137 --> 01:32:58,640
Thank you, everybody.
1204
01:32:59,724 --> 01:33:01,767
Nine-times world champion.
1205
01:33:01,892 --> 01:33:06,229
Valentino Rossi!
1206
01:33:14,070 --> 01:33:17,323
Jorge Lorenzo won again
in Catalunya.
1207
01:33:17,448 --> 01:33:20,200
Pedrosa was second ahead of Marquez.
1208
01:33:20,325 --> 01:33:21,784
Rossi was fourth.
1209
01:33:21,909 --> 01:33:24,578
He hadn't been on the podium
since the first race.
1210
01:33:25,704 --> 01:33:28,248
Dani Pedrosa
was leading the championship.
1211
01:33:28,373 --> 01:33:31,250
He'd finished first or second
at the last five races.
1212
01:33:32,209 --> 01:33:35,962
If you check the riding style
of the guys that are in front,
1213
01:33:36,087 --> 01:33:39,298
it's a little different
from what it used to be before.
1214
01:33:39,423 --> 01:33:41,800
The rider is much,
much, much, much lower.
1215
01:33:41,925 --> 01:33:44,177
And the bike stays much more up
in the corner.
1216
01:33:44,302 --> 01:33:47,513
If you come from another era,
where the bikes were different
1217
01:33:47,638 --> 01:33:50,182
the riding was different
and the tires were different,
1218
01:33:50,307 --> 01:33:53,101
you have to change your riding style
and that's not so easy.
1219
01:33:53,226 --> 01:33:54,977
Marquez has it down to a tee.
1220
01:33:55,102 --> 01:33:58,814
He hangs off the bike so far.
Lorenzo as well.
1221
01:34:00,023 --> 01:34:03,484
And I don't know if it be the way...
1222
01:34:03,609 --> 01:34:05,611
tire development or chassis
1223
01:34:05,736 --> 01:34:07,028
or how things have gone,
1224
01:34:07,153 --> 01:34:08,612
but the only way to get it to turn
1225
01:34:08,737 --> 01:34:11,698
is basically to drag your elbow
on the ground.
1226
01:34:11,823 --> 01:34:16,536
I have also a lot of bad memories
from the two years before.
1227
01:34:16,661 --> 01:34:23,626
And I need the time for recreate
the same feeling with the M1.
1228
01:34:25,127 --> 01:34:28,630
In a sport career,
there is a moment which is magic.
1229
01:34:28,755 --> 01:34:31,966
Everything goes well around you.
1230
01:34:32,091 --> 01:34:35,469
When it goes by, it's very hard
to get back the same thing,
1231
01:34:35,594 --> 01:34:37,262
because you are not the same guy.
1232
01:34:37,387 --> 01:34:41,432
These new guys are coming and pushing.
1233
01:34:42,307 --> 01:34:46,561
LORENZO'S FATHER: I've analyzed Rossi
and he's trying harder than ever.
1234
01:34:46,686 --> 01:34:49,313
He's changed
his riding style completely.
1235
01:34:49,438 --> 01:34:53,942
This is Rossi when he started in MotoGP.
1236
01:34:54,067 --> 01:34:58,946
This riding style
dates from the Eighties.
1237
01:34:59,071 --> 01:35:02,783
He's moved his butt,
but he's holding his head up.
1238
01:35:04,785 --> 01:35:07,621
This is Valentino Rossi now.
1239
01:35:07,746 --> 01:35:09,998
His head is a long way off the bike.
1240
01:35:10,123 --> 01:35:13,417
His spinal column makes a V
with the bike.
1241
01:35:13,542 --> 01:35:19,005
He's adapted to the new riding style,
which the young riders are using,
1242
01:35:19,130 --> 01:35:22,299
but maybe he hasn't
yet understood this style.
1243
01:35:22,424 --> 01:35:26,136
Rossi crashed in testing
the day after the Catalan race.
1244
01:35:26,261 --> 01:35:29,764
Storms hit the next tests
in Aragon later that week.
1245
01:35:29,889 --> 01:35:33,434
Then the sun came out
and things got better.
1246
01:35:33,559 --> 01:35:35,102
I'm happy. It's a good test.
1247
01:35:35,227 --> 01:35:40,148
I feel good on the bike. The first
feeling is that we make a step.
1248
01:35:40,273 --> 01:35:41,899
Next stop, Holland.
1249
01:35:43,233 --> 01:35:47,362
It's round seven!
It's the last Saturday in June.
1250
01:35:48,196 --> 01:35:55,536
I've always had faith.
I always expected to see him win again.
1251
01:35:57,996 --> 01:36:01,833
I knew he liked that circuit.
1252
01:36:03,501 --> 01:36:05,211
Lap one about to be completed.
1253
01:36:05,336 --> 01:36:07,087
Here comes Rossi inside Stefan Bradl.
1254
01:36:07,212 --> 01:36:10,757
And Rossi moves into third place.
Very aggressively.
1255
01:36:10,882 --> 01:36:17,263
DON STEFANO: Once again he's making
the kind of passes that he used to make.
1256
01:36:17,388 --> 01:36:19,640
Marc Marquez in front of him.
1257
01:36:19,765 --> 01:36:21,349
Both of them know
about winning in Assen.
1258
01:36:21,474 --> 01:36:24,935
Marquez has won three times here.
Rossi seven.
1259
01:36:25,060 --> 01:36:26,770
He's gone through!
1260
01:36:26,895 --> 01:36:29,772
He made two or three beautiful passes.
1261
01:36:29,897 --> 01:36:35,235
It was so exciting to see
how the crowd responded.
1262
01:36:35,360 --> 01:36:39,405
I fight with everybody.
I fight with Marc. I fight with Pedrosa.
1263
01:36:39,530 --> 01:36:43,116
He was beautiful to watch,
elegant like before.
1264
01:36:51,374 --> 01:36:57,004
I'm always a little bit faster
in some places. I feel good.
1265
01:36:58,046 --> 01:37:00,631
They cross the line.
There'll be three laps to go.
1266
01:37:00,756 --> 01:37:03,884
I waited until the last three laps,
1267
01:37:04,009 --> 01:37:08,555
then I went and opened the door
to the bell tower
1268
01:37:08,680 --> 01:37:10,431
and turned on the lights.
1269
01:37:10,556 --> 01:37:13,684
Then I hurried back to see the end.
1270
01:37:13,809 --> 01:37:18,939
He is chasing
his 106th Grand Prix victory.
1271
01:37:19,064 --> 01:37:23,193
He hasn't won a Grand Prix
for over two and a half years.
1272
01:37:23,318 --> 01:37:26,029
He's half a lap away.
1273
01:37:26,946 --> 01:37:28,656
They cannot believe it.
1274
01:37:28,781 --> 01:37:32,159
They cannot watch
back at Valentino Rossi's garage.
1275
01:37:42,627 --> 01:37:46,255
Valentino Rossi wins here in Assen!
1276
01:38:05,273 --> 01:38:09,694
We did wonder if we would ever see him
win a grand prix again.
1277
01:38:09,819 --> 01:38:14,198
When he won the last race in Malaysia,
it was his 46th win with Yamaha.
1278
01:38:14,323 --> 01:38:19,536
And now, after not winning for 46 races,
he has won again.
1279
01:38:19,661 --> 01:38:25,625
So 46 follows us
through good times and bad.
1280
01:38:40,848 --> 01:38:46,728
I cannot believe. It was a long,
long time from Sepang in 2010.
1281
01:38:46,853 --> 01:38:52,900
In these years,
I make to me also this question.
1282
01:38:53,025 --> 01:38:55,777
I can come back
on the first position or not?
1283
01:38:55,902 --> 01:38:58,905
It was a tough period.
1284
01:39:10,958 --> 01:39:14,461
DON STEFANO: The bells are automatic.
1285
01:39:14,586 --> 01:39:18,298
I went out and forgot about them.
1286
01:39:18,423 --> 01:39:22,093
I left them ringing and went to the bar.
1287
01:39:22,218 --> 01:39:24,803
We had a bit of a party.
1288
01:39:29,724 --> 01:39:33,185
For a long time, a very long time,
1289
01:39:33,310 --> 01:39:35,979
he left them ringing and ringing
and ringing.
1290
01:39:43,361 --> 01:39:47,490
And Jorge Lorenzo,
he had an incredible weekend.
1291
01:39:48,824 --> 01:39:51,660
In Assen from the beginning
I felt even better
1292
01:39:51,785 --> 01:39:54,579
than in Mugello and Montmelo.
1293
01:39:54,704 --> 01:39:58,666
These two victories
give me too much confidence.
1294
01:39:58,791 --> 01:40:02,920
I was overconfident.
That was my mistake.
1295
01:40:06,715 --> 01:40:12,053
The corner I crashed, I entered like
I was on the dry. 250km/h.
1296
01:40:12,803 --> 01:40:15,931
Jorge's accident in Assen
was about four seconds.
1297
01:40:16,056 --> 01:40:18,391
One of the longest accidents we've seen.
1298
01:40:24,397 --> 01:40:26,774
The first impact was with the elbow.
1299
01:40:26,899 --> 01:40:29,860
That transferred energy
into the shoulder.
1300
01:40:29,985 --> 01:40:32,404
That caused the crack in the collarbone.
1301
01:40:32,529 --> 01:40:35,573
I was thinking
that I would lose the championship,
1302
01:40:35,698 --> 01:40:37,032
I lose two or three races.
1303
01:40:37,157 --> 01:40:40,702
Every time I move just one centimeter,
I felt so much pain.
1304
01:40:41,536 --> 01:40:44,163
I wanted to get operated
as soon as possible.
1305
01:40:44,389 --> 01:40:48,935
I couldn't wait for even one night
because the pain was so high.
1306
01:40:49,060 --> 01:40:52,271
So we went to the hospital
close to Assen.
1307
01:40:52,396 --> 01:40:57,401
I informed Jorge
that if you operate tonight,
1308
01:40:57,526 --> 01:41:01,071
you can do push-ups tomorrow
and we can try to ride on the warm-up.
1309
01:41:01,196 --> 01:41:03,781
And to see how it feels, step by step.
1310
01:41:03,906 --> 01:41:05,866
He was, "It's impossible, Wilco."
1311
01:41:05,991 --> 01:41:10,036
I said, "I've had my collarbone broken
with a plate on it."
1312
01:41:10,161 --> 01:41:11,162
You know, it's not a joint.
1313
01:41:11,287 --> 01:41:13,664
A collarbone is something fixed.
1314
01:41:13,789 --> 01:41:15,624
And as soon
as you have the plate on it,
1315
01:41:15,749 --> 01:41:19,377
if you have the support
from the collarbone you can ride a bike.
1316
01:41:19,502 --> 01:41:21,795
Finally, after four or five hours,
1317
01:41:21,920 --> 01:41:26,424
we decided to rent a private plane
1318
01:41:26,549 --> 01:41:27,716
and go to Barcelona.
1319
01:41:27,841 --> 01:41:31,719
And in one hour and a half
I was getting operated.
1320
01:41:31,844 --> 01:41:36,682
When I wake up after the operation,
I was feeling much better.
1321
01:41:36,807 --> 01:41:41,353
Much less pain. And we started
to think about coming back.
1322
01:41:41,478 --> 01:41:45,982
Soon as we arrived
back in Assen, he said,
1323
01:41:46,107 --> 01:41:50,986
"If I get green light from the doctor
tomorrow morning, we try."
1324
01:41:51,111 --> 01:41:53,988
It's the medical director
at each circuit who decides.
1325
01:41:54,113 --> 01:41:56,615
I personally advised him not to race.
1326
01:41:56,740 --> 01:42:02,454
He said "If I lose ten points,
it could cost me the championship."
1327
01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:07,792
There was a kind of euphoria in him,
1328
01:42:07,917 --> 01:42:13,380
which he communicated
to everybody who saw him race.
1329
01:42:13,505 --> 01:42:17,383
We prepared him
from a medical point of view.
1330
01:42:17,508 --> 01:42:20,511
A few painkillers.
1331
01:42:20,636 --> 01:42:25,641
But making possible
this unimaginable thing,
1332
01:42:25,766 --> 01:42:28,185
that was all down to Lorenzo's heart.
1333
01:42:29,603 --> 01:42:36,109
They told me also if I crash again,
my career can be over.
1334
01:42:36,234 --> 01:42:39,320
So they scared me a little bit.
1335
01:42:39,445 --> 01:42:43,365
He felt quite OK,
because he was very fit before the crash
1336
01:42:43,490 --> 01:42:45,366
and I think that helped him a lot.
1337
01:42:49,286 --> 01:42:53,873
At a certain point in their lives,
they find the strength,
1338
01:42:53,998 --> 01:42:55,666
the will,
1339
01:42:55,791 --> 01:42:59,336
the strong desire within them
1340
01:42:59,461 --> 01:43:01,671
to achieve something impossible.
1341
01:43:03,172 --> 01:43:09,136
And so there is something mythological
about their lives.
1342
01:43:09,261 --> 01:43:11,054
He's now into fifth place.
1343
01:43:11,179 --> 01:43:15,141
Crutchlow runs a little bit wide.
Is Lorenzo gonna go through?
1344
01:43:15,266 --> 01:43:17,434
He doesn't need
any invitation whatsoever.
1345
01:43:17,559 --> 01:43:19,769
We ride with Jorge Lorenzo!
1346
01:43:19,894 --> 01:43:21,270
He's closing up now on Marc Marquez.
1347
01:43:21,395 --> 01:43:23,355
I was catching the front group,
1348
01:43:23,480 --> 01:43:25,398
Dani, Valentino and Marc.
1349
01:43:25,523 --> 01:43:29,902
I couldn't believe I was doing this
36 hours after my operation.
1350
01:43:30,027 --> 01:43:34,239
Fourteen and a half laps
to go. Lorenzo beginning to slow.
1351
01:43:56,010 --> 01:44:00,848
It was very emotional,
especially after I finished the race.
1352
01:44:00,973 --> 01:44:04,434
After knowing what you did.
1353
01:44:05,393 --> 01:44:07,895
I was crying inside my helmet,
1354
01:44:08,020 --> 01:44:10,772
because of the pain I felt
1355
01:44:10,897 --> 01:44:14,191
during this 36 hours.
1356
01:44:14,316 --> 01:44:19,362
But also crying
about the emotion of doing this thing.
1357
01:44:19,487 --> 01:44:21,864
Pedrosa still led the championship.
1358
01:44:21,989 --> 01:44:24,366
But Lorenzo
had only lost three points to him.
1359
01:44:41,424 --> 01:44:43,551
I couldn't believe that I crash
1360
01:44:43,676 --> 01:44:48,555
and again
I re-injure the same collarbone.
1361
01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:52,392
We change something on the electronic,
the behavior of the engine.
1362
01:44:52,517 --> 01:44:56,145
I'm sure that creates this big slide
that I had.
1363
01:44:56,270 --> 01:44:59,815
My physical condition was not right
to make some experiments.
1364
01:44:59,940 --> 01:45:05,779
So, it was a mistake of me.
I felt again too much overconfidence.
1365
01:45:05,904 --> 01:45:07,155
And I repeat the same mistake
1366
01:45:07,280 --> 01:45:10,491
with the bad luck that I impacted
the same collarbone.
1367
01:45:11,700 --> 01:45:14,744
Another operation. Another surgery.
1368
01:45:14,869 --> 01:45:18,205
That damaged his condition much more.
1369
01:45:18,330 --> 01:45:20,290
I'm going home.
1370
01:45:20,415 --> 01:45:22,417
Good luck.
1371
01:45:22,542 --> 01:45:26,295
Lorenzo's misfortune
was Dani Pedrosa's opportunity.
1372
01:45:26,420 --> 01:45:29,381
Good luck.
1373
01:45:29,506 --> 01:45:30,590
I hope it goes well.
1374
01:45:30,715 --> 01:45:34,927
Jorge crashed on Friday.
I had 23 points lead over Marc.
1375
01:45:35,052 --> 01:45:37,471
I had like a highway
for the championship.
1376
01:45:42,517 --> 01:45:45,061
Everything can change in one second,
you know?
1377
01:45:50,483 --> 01:45:51,859
It's broken.
1378
01:45:53,443 --> 01:45:58,948
Unfortunately it's my way...
in my career.
1379
01:46:02,326 --> 01:46:04,453
You have to think also
about the past.
1380
01:46:04,578 --> 01:46:10,250
Dani now has a lot of problems
with his body, bad injuries.
1381
01:46:10,375 --> 01:46:11,709
A lot of difficult recovery,
1382
01:46:11,834 --> 01:46:16,463
so I think that for Dani
it's more difficult than for Jorge.
1383
01:46:18,590 --> 01:46:20,550
With Pedrosa and Lorenzo out,
1384
01:46:20,675 --> 01:46:22,760
the championship had a new leader.
1385
01:46:24,595 --> 01:46:28,140
Halfway through the season,
the rookie was on top.
1386
01:46:30,100 --> 01:46:33,061
So now I'm leading
the world championship.
1387
01:46:33,186 --> 01:46:39,192
If you tell me that on the pre-season,
I would say you are crazy.
1388
01:46:39,317 --> 01:46:46,198
Big surprise even for me.
But, you know, it's a great moment.
1389
01:46:49,159 --> 01:46:54,038
And I for one enjoy
this peaceful moment before.
1390
01:47:09,094 --> 01:47:12,680
The first thing
from the doctors was not to ride
1391
01:47:12,805 --> 01:47:15,224
because the fracture is there.
1392
01:47:15,349 --> 01:47:21,104
And it's only 20% of the bone
remaining together.
1393
01:47:21,229 --> 01:47:25,316
If I had a crash,
immediately, full crack.
1394
01:47:25,441 --> 01:47:29,862
This collarbone
is very hard to operate, mine,
1395
01:47:29,987 --> 01:47:34,408
because already many times
I had problems here.
1396
01:47:35,283 --> 01:47:36,284
So I take the risk.
1397
01:47:36,409 --> 01:47:39,578
I didn't want to race
in Laguna, to be honest.
1398
01:47:39,703 --> 01:47:45,959
But when I saw Dani crash,
I rethink, I am going to Laguna.
1399
01:47:46,084 --> 01:47:47,502
The national anthem,
1400
01:47:47,627 --> 01:47:50,296
played by 14 time grammy-nominee
Joe Satriani.
1401
01:48:39,218 --> 01:48:41,803
Lorenzo extremely wide
coming through turn two.
1402
01:48:48,810 --> 01:48:53,105
For me, it was even harder
to finish the race than it was in Assen,
1403
01:48:53,230 --> 01:48:55,482
because my physical condition
was much worse
1404
01:48:55,607 --> 01:48:57,483
after one month without training.
1405
01:49:01,862 --> 01:49:05,949
So, the sixth place for me
was even with more merit.
1406
01:49:10,203 --> 01:49:13,539
One point more I take
than him in this race.
1407
01:49:13,664 --> 01:49:17,125
But our main rival was winning.
1408
01:49:17,250 --> 01:49:19,335
He goes around the outside.
1409
01:49:19,460 --> 01:49:20,627
Rossi will try and come back.
1410
01:49:20,752 --> 01:49:24,672
Oh, then Marquez goes through
on the inside of The Corkscrew.
1411
01:49:24,797 --> 01:49:27,466
The Valentino Rossi Memorial line.
1412
01:49:27,591 --> 01:49:30,844
He's at the final corner here
at Laguna Seca.
1413
01:49:30,969 --> 01:49:35,556
Marc Marquez makes his debut
at Laguna Seca with a victory.
1414
01:49:35,681 --> 01:49:38,100
Opens up a bigger lead
in the world championship.
1415
01:49:38,225 --> 01:49:40,894
First rider to win here at Laguna Seca
on his debut.
1416
01:49:41,019 --> 01:49:44,397
The youngest ever rider to score
back-to-back grand prix wins.
1417
01:49:50,903 --> 01:49:52,946
I say this is a fucking bastard.
1418
01:50:04,207 --> 01:50:07,335
While Lorenzo and Pedrosa
were handicapped by injury,
1419
01:50:07,460 --> 01:50:12,298
Marquez won four races in a row.
He didn't put a foot wrong
1420
01:50:12,423 --> 01:50:14,883
until the morning
of the British Grand Prix.
1421
01:50:16,551 --> 01:50:18,386
It was around ten o'clock.
1422
01:50:18,511 --> 01:50:22,223
Cal Crutchlow went down
a few hundred yards ahead of Marquez.
1423
01:50:22,348 --> 01:50:25,351
The marshals around the track
were waving yellow flags...
1424
01:50:26,894 --> 01:50:29,980
...warning the oncoming riders
to slow down.
1425
01:50:30,897 --> 01:50:33,149
Marquez didn't see the flags.
1426
01:50:38,654 --> 01:50:41,365
Fortunately, the marshals saw Marquez.
1427
01:50:48,246 --> 01:50:51,999
He would get two points on his license
for irresponsible riding.
1428
01:50:52,124 --> 01:50:55,293
He copped two points
for nearly taking out the marshals.
1429
01:50:55,418 --> 01:50:57,378
That was quite a big safety deal.
1430
01:50:57,503 --> 01:51:01,340
Marquez had a more immediate
problem. A dislocated shoulder.
1431
01:51:01,465 --> 01:51:03,341
It was dislocated.
1432
01:51:03,466 --> 01:51:06,552
Some ligaments were
a little bit damaged.
1433
01:51:06,677 --> 01:51:10,889
The race was at 2:00pm.
He had four hours to recover.
1434
01:51:13,558 --> 01:51:16,894
Meanwhile, Jorge Lorenzo
was feeling good again.
1435
01:51:17,019 --> 01:51:18,895
I felt stronger than in Brno.
1436
01:51:19,020 --> 01:51:22,023
So on Sunday morning
when he crashed in the warm up,
1437
01:51:22,148 --> 01:51:28,154
I knew his confidence and probably
his physical condition could be worse.
1438
01:51:28,279 --> 01:51:33,242
So I say, this is my chance to attack
and to win this race.
1439
01:51:33,367 --> 01:51:36,661
I knew it before the race
that Jorge would push a lot
1440
01:51:36,786 --> 01:51:40,331
in the beginning of the race
because he knew I was injured.
1441
01:51:40,456 --> 01:51:41,623
I need to do a good start.
1442
01:51:47,920 --> 01:51:52,007
And it was like, he pushed a lot,
but I was able to be behind him.
1443
01:51:52,132 --> 01:51:54,968
Also I know that the end of the race
will be harder for me,
1444
01:51:55,093 --> 01:51:59,514
because I feel tired
from the shoulder.
1445
01:51:59,639 --> 01:52:03,142
What happened?
I started better than him. I passed him.
1446
01:52:03,267 --> 01:52:05,894
But he was in my ass all the race.
1447
01:52:06,019 --> 01:52:11,399
So even injured, he was there.
Not giving up.
1448
01:52:11,524 --> 01:52:16,403
I tried to improve my lap time
to get away. I couldn't.
1449
01:52:17,612 --> 01:52:18,654
Then he came.
1450
01:52:18,779 --> 01:52:23,033
He passed me in one braking
that I knew he was stronger.
1451
01:52:24,993 --> 01:52:28,162
So I tried to study him
for half a lap
1452
01:52:28,287 --> 01:52:31,290
and I see the occasion to pass him
in the braking point.
1453
01:52:31,415 --> 01:52:34,251
Here he comes!
Lorenzo's going to lead.
1454
01:52:34,376 --> 01:52:36,878
He's not going to give an inch
to Marquez.
1455
01:52:37,003 --> 01:52:38,921
Lorenzo takes the lead once more.
1456
01:52:39,046 --> 01:52:44,092
And in the last lap I went
even faster trying to open the lead up.
1457
01:52:44,217 --> 01:52:47,803
But the problem is that I entered
too quick in the chicane
1458
01:52:48,029 --> 01:52:51,157
that I lose the front
and then he recovers two tenths.
1459
01:52:51,282 --> 01:52:53,867
And he makes a small mistake,
then I catch him.
1460
01:52:53,992 --> 01:52:56,828
So I say he's going
to try in the hard braking again.
1461
01:52:56,953 --> 01:52:59,956
So I tried to close the door,
but then I brake too hard
1462
01:53:00,081 --> 01:53:03,292
and the rear wheel starts to snake
and I was going wide.
1463
01:53:03,417 --> 01:53:04,876
I was able to pass him.
1464
01:53:05,001 --> 01:53:06,877
Marquez dives for the inside line.
1465
01:53:07,002 --> 01:53:09,295
For a moment
I thought I finish second.
1466
01:53:09,420 --> 01:53:12,381
Then on that last corner
when I changed direction,
1467
01:53:12,506 --> 01:53:15,550
I feel no power, I go a little bit wide.
1468
01:53:15,675 --> 01:53:18,928
I have to try. This is
my chance. I have to win this race.
1469
01:53:19,053 --> 01:53:20,971
It's gonna be a drag to the line
1470
01:53:21,096 --> 01:53:22,472
between the Yamaha and the Honda.
1471
01:53:24,807 --> 01:53:28,977
Jorge Lorenzo wins an incredible battle
here at Silverstone!
1472
01:53:39,654 --> 01:53:42,198
Lorenzo won
the next race in San Marino,
1473
01:53:42,323 --> 01:53:46,994
cutting Marquez's lead to 34 points
with five races to go.
1474
01:53:48,203 --> 01:53:52,332
It was Rossi's home race.
He was fourth. Again.
1475
01:53:54,167 --> 01:53:57,712
In the second half of the season,
he was on and off the podium.
1476
01:53:57,837 --> 01:53:59,797
More off than on.
1477
01:53:59,922 --> 01:54:02,633
Almost there, but not quite.
1478
01:54:02,758 --> 01:54:06,803
What was it? The bike? Or the rider?
1479
01:54:07,720 --> 01:54:12,558
I don't know what's happening
inside Valentino right now.
1480
01:54:12,683 --> 01:54:17,521
Because, you know, after two years
with the problem we know
1481
01:54:17,646 --> 01:54:21,066
and after the bad story of Marco,
1482
01:54:21,191 --> 01:54:24,152
I don't know
what is rolling around his head.
1483
01:54:24,277 --> 01:54:28,406
For that reason, I have more respect
for Valentino now.
1484
01:54:29,073 --> 01:54:34,078
I consider him a strong person,
not a strong champion. It's different.
1485
01:54:34,203 --> 01:54:39,082
For me, it's not important if he win
one more championship.
1486
01:54:39,207 --> 01:54:41,626
I like the story of Valentino Rossi.
1487
01:54:41,751 --> 01:54:44,920
The biggest respect
for a guy such as him.
1488
01:54:45,045 --> 01:54:49,090
A question for Vale. Your helmet.
What can you say about the new design?
1489
01:54:49,215 --> 01:54:52,218
This time we decide to make
something more serious.
1490
01:54:52,343 --> 01:54:56,347
Because already quite a long time
that Marco is not with us.
1491
01:54:56,472 --> 01:55:03,520
But here is his home racetrack.
The circuit is in his name.
1492
01:55:03,645 --> 01:55:08,358
So we decide to remember him.
A tribute to remember him.
1493
01:55:08,483 --> 01:55:14,322
We made something for Marco not using
the brand, the two red stripes.
1494
01:55:14,447 --> 01:55:18,200
Only a song.
Valentino sent me the text.
1495
01:55:20,452 --> 01:55:22,871
And he chose a part of the text.
1496
01:55:22,996 --> 01:55:26,207
And we reproduce it around the helmet.
1497
01:55:26,332 --> 01:55:30,669
Every time I read the text, mamma mia,
1498
01:55:30,794 --> 01:55:33,296
and at the end talking about fear.
1499
01:55:33,421 --> 01:55:34,672
The same fear.
1500
01:55:51,271 --> 01:55:55,608
How I wish, how I wish you were here
1501
01:55:57,901 --> 01:56:03,239
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
1502
01:56:03,364 --> 01:56:05,157
Year after year
1503
01:56:06,992 --> 01:56:10,036
Running over the same old ground
1504
01:56:10,953 --> 01:56:15,916
Have we found the same old fears?
1505
01:56:17,083 --> 01:56:19,627
Wish you were here
1506
01:56:25,049 --> 01:56:26,925
It was hard to imagine
1507
01:56:27,050 --> 01:56:29,802
people would miss Marco so much.
1508
01:56:29,927 --> 01:56:34,014
He really has left a deep mark.
1509
01:56:34,973 --> 01:56:39,769
It makes you proud and a little sad.
1510
01:56:41,520 --> 01:56:44,940
People's heroes are
the sportsmen that people want to be.
1511
01:56:45,065 --> 01:56:48,693
And people wanted to be
Marco Simoncelli.
1512
01:56:48,818 --> 01:56:50,402
Not because he won a MotoGP race.
1513
01:56:50,527 --> 01:56:54,322
But because
he was just cool, quirky, different,
1514
01:56:54,447 --> 01:56:58,367
shunned the society of MotoGP,
stood his own ground.
1515
01:56:58,492 --> 01:57:00,118
He said, "I'm gonna do it my way."
1516
01:57:00,243 --> 01:57:03,746
But, he's not here
and it's just horrible.
1517
01:57:03,871 --> 01:57:07,249
It was a horrible, horrible day.
1518
01:57:13,171 --> 01:57:15,089
Five races to go.
1519
01:57:15,214 --> 01:57:18,467
125 points on the table.
1520
01:57:18,592 --> 01:57:22,220
Pedrosa and Lorenzo were still
in with a chance of the title.
1521
01:57:23,346 --> 01:57:26,098
Dani Pedrosa was finally back
to full fitness.
1522
01:57:27,432 --> 01:57:28,975
It was his birthday.
1523
01:57:30,226 --> 01:57:34,605
There are five races left.
So there is no more time for anything.
1524
01:57:34,730 --> 01:57:37,649
You have to put it all on the table
and go for it.
1525
01:57:37,774 --> 01:57:39,567
You have to have some good luck.
1526
01:57:44,488 --> 01:57:47,699
Pedrosa is all over
the rear of Marc Marquez now.
1527
01:57:47,824 --> 01:57:50,618
And Pedrosa is through
and into second place.
1528
01:57:50,743 --> 01:57:52,703
He's good and determined.
1529
01:57:52,828 --> 01:57:57,415
The strongest we've seen Dani Pedrosa
certainly since that crash in Germany.
1530
01:57:58,541 --> 01:58:01,293
This is a race he really has to win.
1531
01:58:01,418 --> 01:58:03,169
Marquez is going to get very close.
1532
01:58:03,294 --> 01:58:05,671
He's going to have
to pick the bike up.
1533
01:58:05,796 --> 01:58:10,008
You could see that a mile off.
And Pedrosa has gone down!
1534
01:58:10,133 --> 01:58:11,968
Dani Pedrosa has gone!
1535
01:58:12,093 --> 01:58:17,598
Goodbye, world championship 2013
for Dani Pedrosa.
1536
01:58:17,723 --> 01:58:19,975
Pedrosa is hurting.
1537
01:58:20,100 --> 01:58:22,685
He was putting
all the pressure on Lorenzo.
1538
01:58:22,810 --> 01:58:27,272
Marquez had to run it wide as well.
Did they actually touch?
1539
01:58:27,397 --> 01:58:32,151
I was leaning and I only felt "clack"
on my rear tire.
1540
01:58:32,276 --> 01:58:37,739
I thought he'd touched my exhaust pipe.
After that, I don't remember much.
1541
01:58:37,864 --> 01:58:40,867
On the rear of the Honda
there is a wheel speed sensor,
1542
01:58:40,992 --> 01:58:44,078
which is part
of the traction-control system.
1543
01:58:44,203 --> 01:58:47,539
The electronic system
contours the power delivery.
1544
01:58:47,664 --> 01:58:51,167
Without it, the bike is unrideable.
1545
01:58:51,292 --> 01:58:54,420
Some part of Marquez's machine
hit and severed the cable
1546
01:58:54,545 --> 01:58:56,588
connecting the sensor to the system
1547
01:58:56,713 --> 01:58:59,424
instantly disabling
Pedrosa's traction control.
1548
01:59:00,508 --> 01:59:02,801
It was the slightest possible touch.
1549
01:59:02,926 --> 01:59:04,677
But it carried a knockout punch.
1550
01:59:05,886 --> 01:59:08,388
When he opened the throttle
at the exit of the corner,
1551
01:59:08,513 --> 01:59:11,849
the engine delivered a massive hit
of power to the rear wheel.
1552
01:59:21,692 --> 01:59:24,820
He's done it again.
In front of the home crowd.
1553
01:59:24,945 --> 01:59:28,073
He's got one hand now
on that world championship trophy.
1554
01:59:28,198 --> 01:59:31,993
Of course he can make mistakes.
We've seen mistakes from him today.
1555
01:59:32,118 --> 01:59:35,162
He just seems to be able
to ride his luck all the time.
1556
01:59:38,206 --> 01:59:40,041
After the Aragon incident,
1557
01:59:40,166 --> 01:59:43,836
Marquez found himself
back in front of Race Direction.
1558
01:59:43,961 --> 01:59:48,131
Another two-point penalty would see him
starting the next race from the back.
1559
01:59:48,256 --> 01:59:50,258
Good morning. Hi Marc, how are you?
1560
01:59:50,383 --> 01:59:52,968
- Fine, thanks.
- What are you expecting?
1561
01:59:53,093 --> 01:59:54,427
I don't know. We'll see.
1562
01:59:56,345 --> 01:59:59,306
It's a formal hearing.
There's four members of race direction.
1563
01:59:59,431 --> 02:00:02,434
We work as a group,
the four of us have a hearing,
1564
02:00:02,559 --> 02:00:05,144
the rider gets called in
with his team representative.
1565
02:00:05,269 --> 02:00:08,272
We explain what he's there for.
1566
02:00:08,397 --> 02:00:11,608
We listen to both sides of the story
and then make a decision.
1567
02:00:12,567 --> 02:00:15,111
For Marc Marquez,
we have added one penalty point
1568
02:00:15,236 --> 02:00:20,241
to his total for the 2013 season
due to irresponsible riding.
1569
02:00:20,366 --> 02:00:22,951
No rider wants to be told
they're doing the wrong thing.
1570
02:00:23,076 --> 02:00:26,412
They always have an opinion
that's not the same as ours.
1571
02:00:26,537 --> 02:00:29,081
And he can be quite angry.
1572
02:00:29,206 --> 02:00:31,041
More and more these days
1573
02:00:31,166 --> 02:00:34,085
he understands
why we're saying what we're saying.
1574
02:00:34,210 --> 02:00:36,795
Like I said,
for me it was a racing incident.
1575
02:00:36,920 --> 02:00:40,298
Just that. It was very bad luck
that I hit the cable.
1576
02:00:40,423 --> 02:00:45,594
But if I hadn't hit the cable,
nobody would have realized I hit Dani.
1577
02:00:45,719 --> 02:00:50,515
The limit is when one guy
puts in danger other guys.
1578
02:00:50,640 --> 02:00:51,891
This is the limit.
1579
02:00:52,016 --> 02:00:54,268
It was a very light touch.
1580
02:00:54,393 --> 02:00:58,605
But fine, they obviously
wanted to give me a point.
1581
02:00:58,730 --> 02:01:02,692
And as riders we have to respect that.
1582
02:01:02,817 --> 02:01:05,444
Many of us could be more aggressive.
1583
02:01:05,569 --> 02:01:08,238
And many of us could be
touching others like this.
1584
02:01:08,363 --> 02:01:10,073
But we don't do it.
1585
02:01:11,449 --> 02:01:14,660
A lot of people complain,
but it's my riding style.
1586
02:01:14,785 --> 02:01:17,370
If I don't ride like that,
I cannot be fast.
1587
02:01:17,495 --> 02:01:18,829
Sometimes I try to change.
1588
02:01:18,954 --> 02:01:21,581
I try to be smooth,
but in the end if I'm concentrating,
1589
02:01:21,706 --> 02:01:25,584
if I want to push,
I need to be like that.
1590
02:01:25,709 --> 02:01:29,295
Dani Pedrosa had the
satisfaction of beating Marc Marquez
1591
02:01:29,420 --> 02:01:31,046
in the Malaysian Grand Prix.
1592
02:01:32,297 --> 02:01:34,340
It's a great feeling, this one.
1593
02:01:34,465 --> 02:01:40,012
But Marquez beat Lorenzo for
second extending his lead to 43 points.
1594
02:01:41,054 --> 02:01:44,974
He could clinch the world title
the following week in Australia.
1595
02:01:48,852 --> 02:01:51,729
Marc Marquez
has been black-flagged.
1596
02:01:51,854 --> 02:01:56,525
Honda have made
one massive, massive mistake.
1597
02:01:56,650 --> 02:01:59,402
The Phillip Island track
had been re-surfaced
1598
02:01:59,527 --> 02:02:01,529
since the last MotoGP race there.
1599
02:02:01,654 --> 02:02:04,698
In the practice sessions,
it turned out that the new asphalt
1600
02:02:04,823 --> 02:02:09,244
gave so much grip that the tires
couldn't handle more than a few laps.
1601
02:02:09,369 --> 02:02:13,081
The rubber would disintegrate
over full race distance.
1602
02:02:14,082 --> 02:02:17,460
Race Direction ordered the teams
to make a pit stop during the race
1603
02:02:17,585 --> 02:02:21,130
when the riders would switch
to their second bike with fresh tires.
1604
02:02:21,255 --> 02:02:26,593
Any rider completing more than ten laps
would be penalized.
1605
02:02:26,718 --> 02:02:28,219
It was a new rule
1606
02:02:28,344 --> 02:02:31,388
and I was very worried
that Jorge would miss the board.
1607
02:02:31,513 --> 02:02:36,059
So, I went to Race Direction to ask
if he missed the board, what then?
1608
02:02:36,184 --> 02:02:38,895
Black flag, 100%.
1609
02:02:39,020 --> 02:02:41,897
They've got to come in!
Marquez has stayed out there!
1610
02:02:42,123 --> 02:02:46,377
Marquez has stayed out on the track!
I do not believe this!
1611
02:02:46,502 --> 02:02:49,296
But surely,
Marquez has gone a lap too far!
1612
02:02:49,421 --> 02:02:52,215
Marquez's team
was looking for an advantage.
1613
02:02:52,340 --> 02:02:57,011
An extra lap with a clear track and
a light fuel load could provide that.
1614
02:02:58,095 --> 02:03:02,099
All we know is that part of the team
had made a mistake
1615
02:03:02,224 --> 02:03:03,767
on the counting down of the laps.
1616
02:03:03,892 --> 02:03:06,352
A part of the team knew already from,
"Hey, ten! He has to come in."
1617
02:03:06,477 --> 02:03:10,355
And part didn't know, they thought,
"No, no. It's the end of lap ten."
1618
02:03:10,480 --> 02:03:12,231
So, they were a little bit confused.
1619
02:03:16,693 --> 02:03:19,946
It's embarrassing for us.
It was a mistake that was made.
1620
02:03:20,071 --> 02:03:23,157
We take it and move on. I hope it
doesn't affect the championship.
1621
02:03:23,282 --> 02:03:26,702
If it does, it'll come back
and haunt us and that's the way it is.
1622
02:03:32,874 --> 02:03:35,251
- How many fingers do you see here?
- I see ten.
1623
02:03:35,376 --> 02:03:37,127
Then you can work for Repsol Honda.
1624
02:03:38,086 --> 02:03:41,047
Jorge Lorenzo
won the Australian Grand Prix
1625
02:03:41,172 --> 02:03:43,465
from Dani Pedrosa and Valentino Rossi.
1626
02:03:43,590 --> 02:03:47,468
There were two races to go.
Fifty points on the table.
1627
02:03:47,593 --> 02:03:51,096
Just 18 points
between Lorenzo and Marquez.
1628
02:03:52,639 --> 02:03:55,141
Then a typhoon hit Japan
the week of the grand prix.
1629
02:03:55,266 --> 02:03:59,270
The weather wiped out practice
on Friday and Saturday.
1630
02:03:59,395 --> 02:04:02,981
Everything, practice and the race,
happened on Sunday.
1631
02:04:03,815 --> 02:04:07,985
Marquez had a single session to
figure out the track on a MotoGP bike.
1632
02:04:08,110 --> 02:04:11,446
And to endure
his 15th crash of the season.
1633
02:04:12,697 --> 02:04:15,991
If he were to win the race
today and Lorenzo were to be third,
1634
02:04:16,116 --> 02:04:22,455
then he would be the youngest ever
world champion in the premiere class.
1635
02:04:22,580 --> 02:04:25,249
Jorge Lorenzo had other ideas.
1636
02:04:25,374 --> 02:04:28,168
He led the race from start to finish.
1637
02:04:28,293 --> 02:04:31,504
Marc Marquez
thought, hoped, prayed,
1638
02:04:31,629 --> 02:04:33,505
he'd capture the world title.
1639
02:04:33,630 --> 02:04:36,674
But it's not gonna happen
here in Japan.
1640
02:04:36,799 --> 02:04:43,764
A classic ride from the world champion
Jorge Lorenzo who wins here in Japan.
1641
02:04:43,889 --> 02:04:46,433
Thirteen points between them.
1642
02:04:46,558 --> 02:04:49,394
It was down
to the final race in Valencia.
1643
02:04:56,025 --> 02:04:59,737
Two things had to happen
for Jorge Lorenzo to take the title.
1644
02:04:59,862 --> 02:05:01,572
He had to win the race
1645
02:05:01,697 --> 02:05:04,950
and Marc Marquez
had to finish fifth or lower.
1646
02:05:06,076 --> 02:05:10,538
All that Marquez needed was a safe run
to fourth place or better.
1647
02:05:10,663 --> 02:05:14,667
Lorenzo had a plan.
Get to the front and then slow down.
1648
02:05:14,792 --> 02:05:17,211
Make the riders behind bunch up.
1649
02:05:17,336 --> 02:05:21,214
And hope that Marquez tangles
with another rider or makes a mistake.
1650
02:05:22,423 --> 02:05:26,593
If another rider got in front of him,
Lorenzo would have to retake the lead,
1651
02:05:26,718 --> 02:05:29,887
then repeat the process of slowing down
the riders behind him
1652
02:05:30,012 --> 02:05:33,265
and trying to make life hazardous
for Marquez.
1653
02:05:33,390 --> 02:05:38,353
It was the first time that
I have to be slower to get something.
1654
02:05:40,646 --> 02:05:43,690
A good start
from Jorge Lorenzo yet again!
1655
02:05:43,815 --> 02:05:46,609
He just hooked it up really nicely
as the light went out.
1656
02:05:46,734 --> 02:05:49,778
And look at that!
Pedrosa is past Marquez.
1657
02:05:49,903 --> 02:05:52,155
Lorenzo had to reckon
with Dani Pedrosa.
1658
02:05:52,280 --> 02:05:56,325
He could derail the plan by doing
what he naturally wanted to do.
1659
02:05:56,450 --> 02:06:00,537
Dani wanted to win the race
and wanted to be as fast as possible.
1660
02:06:00,662 --> 02:06:02,705
I tried to move forward
1661
02:06:02,830 --> 02:06:06,834
and every time I make a pass
he was ready to pass back.
1662
02:06:07,543 --> 02:06:10,796
Lorenzo fighting back
already! Into turn two!
1663
02:06:10,921 --> 02:06:14,841
He forces Pedrosa wide!
And retakes the lead!
1664
02:06:16,884 --> 02:06:19,428
I tried to change
my passing points,
1665
02:06:19,553 --> 02:06:22,013
so it was harder for him
to get back on me.
1666
02:06:22,138 --> 02:06:24,890
But he always finds a way.
1667
02:06:25,348 --> 02:06:27,892
Oh, they almost touch
as they come through there.
1668
02:06:28,017 --> 02:06:30,019
Pedrosa pushed wide once more
by Lorenzo.
1669
02:06:30,144 --> 02:06:32,646
He just doesn't want to allow
the Honda a moment.
1670
02:06:32,771 --> 02:06:36,065
Again, Marquez was so close
into the back of Pedrosa there.
1671
02:06:37,232 --> 02:06:40,693
Pedrosa is through once more
on Lorenzo, into turn eight.
1672
02:06:40,818 --> 02:06:43,612
And he's actually done it at a place
where it's not easy
1673
02:06:43,737 --> 02:06:46,698
for Lorenzo to get straight back.
1674
02:06:46,823 --> 02:06:48,449
What can Lorenzo respond with?
1675
02:06:48,574 --> 02:06:52,035
Here he comes! He almost takes
Dani Pedrosa's right leg off
1676
02:06:52,160 --> 02:06:54,662
as he comes through turn eleven.
1677
02:06:54,787 --> 02:06:56,455
He was way too aggressive.
1678
02:06:56,580 --> 02:07:01,042
My leather at the end was more black
than white from his wheel.
1679
02:07:01,167 --> 02:07:04,253
Oh, he's gonna force
Pedrosa a little bit wide.
1680
02:07:04,378 --> 02:07:05,962
That's not my style.
1681
02:07:06,087 --> 02:07:11,342
I understand that my two actions
were close to the limit.
1682
02:07:11,467 --> 02:07:16,388
In these circumstances I felt a little
bit like David against Goliath.
1683
02:07:16,513 --> 02:07:23,144
I was trying to beat Goliath
doing everything I could do.
1684
02:07:24,186 --> 02:07:27,022
Lorenzo fights back.
There's no way through that time.
1685
02:07:27,147 --> 02:07:30,024
There is! He's pushed.
He's pushed Dani Pedrosa wide!
1686
02:07:30,149 --> 02:07:33,110
He's pushed him right off the track,
as well. He had to do it.
1687
02:07:33,235 --> 02:07:35,570
And now Marquez takes over
at the front.
1688
02:07:35,695 --> 02:07:40,199
You had the best view of
the battle between Jorge and Dani.
1689
02:07:41,742 --> 02:07:45,871
How many penalty points do you think
Jorge deserved with the passes?
1690
02:07:49,290 --> 02:07:53,585
You know, I already said in the past
and I will say now,
1691
02:07:53,710 --> 02:07:58,214
we are here for racing, for fighting
and the races are like that.
1692
02:07:58,339 --> 02:08:01,258
I tell you,
Lorenzo is riding as aggressively
1693
02:08:01,383 --> 02:08:03,802
as I've ever seen him ride.
He has to.
1694
02:08:03,927 --> 02:08:06,804
He will try
and rough up Marquez now at the front.
1695
02:08:06,929 --> 02:08:09,598
And here he comes!
Into turn two this time again.
1696
02:08:09,723 --> 02:08:14,018
He's very strong in there once more.
And he takes the lead from Marquez.
1697
02:08:14,143 --> 02:08:16,395
He's gonna have to try
and slow things up.
1698
02:08:16,520 --> 02:08:20,065
But the writing was
on the wall for Lorenzo.
1699
02:08:20,190 --> 02:08:22,442
The other riders were falling back.
1700
02:08:22,567 --> 02:08:24,819
The other riders,
apart from our three,
1701
02:08:24,944 --> 02:08:27,112
they were too slow
to stay in the group.
1702
02:08:27,237 --> 02:08:30,698
And when I look behind
and I see that they were too far,
1703
02:08:30,823 --> 02:08:33,575
I thought to win this race,
to go away, and that's it.
1704
02:08:33,700 --> 02:08:36,494
He's definitely changed
the tactics, hasn't he now?
1705
02:08:36,619 --> 02:08:40,664
He's gone from slowing, let's get
everybody involved in the party,
1706
02:08:40,789 --> 02:08:43,500
to let's see
if you can run at my sort of pace.
1707
02:08:43,625 --> 02:08:47,211
Of course, Marquez doesn't need
to be sucked into this.
1708
02:08:47,336 --> 02:08:50,172
It was difficult
because something inside me say,
1709
02:08:50,297 --> 02:08:51,923
"You need to fight."
1710
02:08:52,048 --> 02:08:55,926
I understand
that it was much more important,
1711
02:08:56,051 --> 02:08:59,179
the championship than one race.
1712
02:09:01,055 --> 02:09:06,143
Number 93 now has
four kilometers, 2.5 miles left.
1713
02:09:06,268 --> 02:09:10,647
That was maybe
the longest race in my career.
1714
02:09:10,772 --> 02:09:13,566
Last lap I was so careful.
1715
02:09:13,691 --> 02:09:17,277
He's gonna win
his debut season in MotoGP.
1716
02:09:19,237 --> 02:09:22,907
But hats off first of all
to Jorge Lorenzo.
1717
02:09:23,032 --> 02:09:25,784
Jorge Lorenzo wins
his eighth grand prix this season.
1718
02:09:25,909 --> 02:09:28,828
But now we await
for the arrival of Marc Marquez!
1719
02:09:28,953 --> 02:09:34,166
He's done it! He's done it!
Twenty years old, 266 days!
1720
02:09:34,291 --> 02:09:36,584
The youngest ever winner
in the premiere class.
1721
02:09:36,709 --> 02:09:39,503
The first rookie to do so since '78.
1722
02:10:15,247 --> 02:10:18,208
I want to say thanks to Honda.
To all my team.
1723
02:10:18,333 --> 02:10:23,546
To all the people who help me. To my
family because they are always there.
1724
02:10:23,671 --> 02:10:27,883
I don't know what I can say
because I feel so good.
1725
02:10:28,008 --> 02:10:30,760
Behind that smile there
is the courage of Marquez.
1726
02:10:30,885 --> 02:10:36,640
The courage of one who says,
"I'm here. I'm a kid, but I can win."
1727
02:10:36,765 --> 02:10:40,518
So, Marc did
some incredible things.
1728
02:10:40,643 --> 02:10:45,856
I expect he have to do some more
mistakes during the first season.
1729
02:10:45,981 --> 02:10:52,570
He has all the potential
to become the greatest of all time
1730
02:10:52,695 --> 02:10:56,073
or better than me or win more than me.
1731
02:10:56,198 --> 02:11:00,160
He has great skills
and is also very young.
1732
02:11:00,285 --> 02:11:03,371
But now is very early to say.
1733
02:11:03,496 --> 02:11:10,461
It's a long way.
But he has 100% of possibility.
1734
02:11:16,550 --> 02:11:19,678
MARQUEZ'S FATHER: It's as big
as it gets, there's nothing bigger.
1735
02:11:19,803 --> 02:11:22,388
He's won the toughest
championships in the world.
1736
02:11:22,513 --> 02:11:25,057
He's the fastest rider
in the world right now.
1737
02:11:28,602 --> 02:11:34,441
All the riders hope
he's already close to his top level.
1738
02:11:34,566 --> 02:11:38,736
Because if he improves
a lot from here from now,
1739
02:11:38,861 --> 02:11:41,530
for the other guys, it's a big problem.
1740
02:11:42,739 --> 02:11:44,949
He's the same son as always.
1741
02:11:45,074 --> 02:11:47,826
He might be the champion,
but he's the same.
1742
02:11:47,951 --> 02:11:50,286
It's so great.
1743
02:11:51,036 --> 02:11:54,414
MARQUEZ'S FATHER: That's the lovely
thing, the essence of the family.
1744
02:11:54,539 --> 02:11:57,416
At least he hasn't talked
about leaving us yet.
1745
02:12:50,423 --> 02:12:53,426
DR COSTA: I have been fortunate.
1746
02:12:53,551 --> 02:12:56,470
This is the message.
1747
02:12:56,696 --> 02:13:01,909
In the motorcycle world, anyone
who falls, like Lorenzo or Marquez,
1748
02:13:02,034 --> 02:13:03,535
who races with broken bones,
1749
02:13:03,660 --> 02:13:06,371
demonstrates that one
can come back from injury
1750
02:13:06,496 --> 02:13:10,541
to continue to breathe
the intoxication of a dream.
1751
02:13:10,666 --> 02:13:13,710
It's not so much about reaching a goal,
1752
02:13:13,835 --> 02:13:17,713
it's the challenge, the journey
of becoming ourselves in life.
1753
02:13:17,838 --> 02:13:20,590
We must share the scent of victory
1754
02:13:20,715 --> 02:13:24,468
and make those around us happy
by our example.
1755
02:13:28,054 --> 02:13:32,725
At one point, I used to think
that I'm very unlucky
1756
02:13:32,850 --> 02:13:35,561
if I compare myself
to the other riders.
1757
02:13:35,686 --> 02:13:37,354
Much more often to hospital.
1758
02:13:37,479 --> 02:13:42,066
And much more often
I have Race Direction problems.
1759
02:13:42,191 --> 02:13:47,738
But, you know,
I think now completely different.
1760
02:13:47,863 --> 02:13:51,992
I completely see
that I am a very fortunate guy.
1761
02:13:52,117 --> 02:13:54,994
I live every day the dream of my life.
1762
02:13:55,119 --> 02:13:57,079
There is a very high level
of competition
1763
02:13:57,204 --> 02:14:00,540
and I'm still there
through now eleven years
1764
02:14:00,665 --> 02:14:02,583
and this makes me proud.
1765
02:14:02,708 --> 02:14:06,753
Sure, numbers could be a little better
but I'm enjoying it.
1766
02:14:06,878 --> 02:14:10,381
You have to work it out. I think Rossi,
for example, he's trying also.
1767
02:14:10,506 --> 02:14:14,635
It will never be the same because
in life there is a constant change,
1768
02:14:14,760 --> 02:14:17,721
in you, in the rest, in everything.
1769
02:14:17,846 --> 02:14:20,765
But you have to work out the best
1770
02:14:20,890 --> 02:14:23,684
to find your happiness
and the best balance for you.
1771
02:14:23,809 --> 02:14:30,023
When you go home
and you are at rest and out of this,
1772
02:14:30,148 --> 02:14:31,649
it's not the number that you get.
1773
02:14:31,774 --> 02:14:36,737
It's the experience you felt
when you were doing it.
1774
02:14:38,488 --> 02:14:42,241
My father once told me, when I was 14,
1775
02:14:42,366 --> 02:14:46,495
before I started world championships
in 2002, before my debut.
1776
02:14:47,871 --> 02:14:50,498
I crashed in Montmelo.
1777
02:14:50,623 --> 02:14:56,712
So when my dad see me like this,
unconscious in the ambulance,
1778
02:14:56,837 --> 02:14:59,256
we went to the hospital.
1779
02:14:59,381 --> 02:15:01,508
He told me,
1780
02:15:01,633 --> 02:15:07,388
"Son, let's stop this shit,
because, it's a shit."
1781
02:15:07,513 --> 02:15:11,225
"You know, it isn't worth it."
1782
02:15:12,142 --> 02:15:14,894
But I say...
I was crying at this moment.
1783
02:15:15,019 --> 02:15:19,440
I say,
"No, no, Dad, I will continue."
1784
02:15:21,066 --> 02:15:24,819
Everybody has his way
to interpret racing.
1785
02:15:24,944 --> 02:15:31,575
Some riders do it because
they want revenge on their world.
1786
02:15:31,700 --> 02:15:35,954
Some others, it's very important
to give the maximum.
1787
02:15:36,079 --> 02:15:38,039
For some others it's for fun,
1788
02:15:38,164 --> 02:15:43,085
others because they like
the adrenaline.
1789
02:15:43,210 --> 02:15:46,838
So I think that everybody has his way.
1790
02:15:46,963 --> 02:15:50,257
And all the ways are good. Yeah.
1791
02:15:56,054 --> 02:15:57,472
Was that 100%?
1792
02:15:57,597 --> 02:15:59,724
Yeah. Maybe a little bit more.
1793
02:15:59,849 --> 02:16:01,767
A little bit more, as always.
1794
02:16:07,773 --> 02:16:10,066
We're at Misano,
the Marco Simoncelli circuit.
1795
02:16:12,902 --> 02:16:15,279
I talk with Paolo many times.
1796
02:16:15,404 --> 02:16:18,532
Ask him to build a team
in the style of Marco Simoncelli.
1797
02:16:18,657 --> 02:16:22,369
Because, he was involved
in the racing life of Marco.
1798
02:16:22,494 --> 02:16:24,412
And he was able to take him to the top.
1799
02:16:24,537 --> 02:16:27,623
He has to find a new energy
to go ahead.
1800
02:16:27,748 --> 02:16:31,460
Not in the memory of Marco,
but in the style, Simoncelli style.
1801
02:16:33,253 --> 02:16:37,382
This is the first year,
but they're doing well.
1802
02:16:37,507 --> 02:16:40,134
We'll see what we can do next year.
1803
02:16:40,259 --> 02:16:43,011
I think having the relation
with the riders, the two riders,
1804
02:16:43,136 --> 02:16:46,139
if one of the two becomes stronger,
1805
02:16:46,264 --> 02:16:51,644
for sure he can jump on the next
category and then jump and jump.
1806
02:16:51,769 --> 02:16:53,061
We will see.
1807
02:16:54,771 --> 02:16:59,776
The circle that was broken in a way
now is complete.
1808
02:17:12,288 --> 02:17:16,333
Every Sunday,
as night begins to fall on Coriano,
1809
02:17:16,458 --> 02:17:18,418
a flame ignites
1810
02:17:18,543 --> 02:17:24,507
and burns in memory
of Marco Simoncelli for 58 seconds.
1811
02:17:35,392 --> 02:17:38,520
Grand prix motorcycle racing
is the process
1812
02:17:38,645 --> 02:17:41,356
of turning fire into speed.
1813
02:17:41,481 --> 02:17:44,484
The combustion of fuel
and air in the engine
1814
02:17:44,609 --> 02:17:47,153
and the fire in the heart of a rider
1815
02:17:47,278 --> 02:17:49,530
willing to risk everything...
1816
02:17:50,697 --> 02:17:52,365
...to win.
