Britain's David Thorpe was aiming to score a hat trick of 500cc World Championship titles as the best motocross riders on Earth gathered in Spain for the first 12 adrenalin-powered rounds. However, after a sparkling start, 1985 and 1986 champ Thorpe's title tilt was thrown into doubt when he left the Scandinavian races winless.
Arch-rival Georges Jobe, the two-times 250cc World Champion, emerged as a genuine title challenger.
At the halfway point Thorpe's season was ruined by an arm-breaking crash that left him unable to mount a real defence of his world crown. It looked like Jobe would take the title unchallenged, but a new British challenger emerged - Kurt Nicoll.
Re-edited and re-mastered coverage of scintillating races in a great value 183-minute package. The story of a dramatic battle for the title, with action from around the world.
Essential viewing for everyone who was there, and the growing army of fans of this hugely popular two-wheeled sport. |
