Hitting The Apex is the inside story of six fighters – six of the fastest motorcycle racers of all time – and of the fates that awaited them at the peak of the sport. It's the story of what is at stake for all of them: all that can be won, and all that can be lost, when you go chasing glory at over two hundred miles an hour – on a motorcycle.

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