Overview

Fastest (film) movie scenes

Fastest distils the thrilling, terrifying reality of the 2010 season into a maximum-speed, full-length documentary feature film. In true cinematic fashion, it highlights the thrills, spills and incredible commitment and courage the sports demands of its stars.

Fastest (film) movie scenes

With unprecedented behind-the-scenes access at all sixteen races, which include Valentino Rossi facing the toughest challenge of his life whilst chasing his tenth world title: a wave of ferociously fast young riders and a horrific leg-shattering crash during practice for his home grand prix at Mugello. Rather astonishingly this caused Vale to miss his first GP ever, 14 years into his Grand Prix career to that point. Thought to be out for 6 months, Rossi made his comeback just 41 days later, at the German grand prix, but the game has moved on already and there's one question on every rider's lips - even the G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) himself must have been wondering... Who's fastest now?
