MotoGP Review 2000 DVD

The 2000 500cc World Championship ushered in a new era - a new century, a new name for the series and a new generation of stars to battle for motorcycle racing's biggest prize. The MotoGP era burst into life with all the action and drama you could ask for from Grand Prix racing. The opening races were edge-of-seat thrillers, despite many of the favourites throwing away their chances with spectacular crashes- There were five different winners in the first six races, with only Kenny Roberts Junior managing to do the double. It was a season of two halves, thanks to the efforts of 500cc rookie Valentino Rossi. An heroic performance in damp conditions at the British Grand Prix saw the reigning 250cc World Champion take his first victory at the British Grand Prix in the premier class. A series of amazing rides made Honda's Rossi a genuine contender, but Roberts could not be denied. The American made history, becoming the first son of a 500cc World Champion to take the crown.
