There has been close racing in GP like this during the year at the front. Close racing at the front doesn't happen lots in GP, when it does it's cool. The fastest guys riding the fastest bikes, that's why I watch GP.

A friend of mine wants to get into MotoGP. He's ridden for years, but never really watched a race. If you were going to show someone a recent race, maybe one from each class but definitely at least one from the premier class, what would you show? More recent the better. Or I guess I could just pull up one of the Faster-series documentaries?

Yeah just show him one of the documentaries - it'll help him understand what is going on and give some context that should make it more interesting.

That match up is summarized very well in Fastest. I'd watch Fastest (the newer one) then Faster/The Doctor, The Tornado, and the Kentucky Kid and then maybe some races. I'd have to go back and skim thru the races this year cause although I remember the first 8 races being entertaining and having some decent fights via MM, I can't remember a specific one that was better. Avoid 2011 and 2012 for the most part.

2012 Brno is actually pretty great although it is more of a connoisseur's race as there are only a couple of passes. You could always just show him this clip of Catalunya which does explain a bit of the context.

Oh also, please find non-world feed commentators because Nick Harris barely knows what's going on and will just be confusing. Also for full race excitement show your friend 2014 Moto3 races.

I figure I could probably grab any 2014 Moto3 race, as I recall they were almost all great. Maybe the last race, explaining the Miller/Marquez championship situation. I agree about the world feed - I miss Eurosport something fierce. I watched BTSport this year and it got better as the year went on, but I still miss the dynamic between Moody and Ryder. I've told him to watch Fastest as a primer, but if he wants to get more into it I'd like a few current (2014, maybe '13) races to show him so he sees the current cast of characters and bikes. Fastest is about 2010 and a hell of a lot has changed since then.Death of the 2-strokes, Rossi at Ducati, Stoner at Honda then quitting, switch to 1000cc, the rise of Marc Marquez...

I think last year's Le Mans was pretty good. I just watched Mugello today and it was alright, a good MM/Lorenzo fight. Assen was just crazy weather and would be confusing.
