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. Rossi, Lorenzo, Pedrosa, Stoner, Simoncelli and Marquez represent the fastest motorcycle racers of all time and each has a unique story to tell. 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. From the director of Faster and Fastest, Hitting the Apex takes us to the heart of this exhilarating sport at a time when the speeds have never been higher or the talent on the track more brilliant. Lots will be familiar to fans of MotoGP but there are facets which will be new to many. A film by Mark Neale. Brad Pitt presents and narrates.
