One of the subjects of Mark Neale's latest film about MotoGP has already been claimed by the dangerous sport, writes Andrew Drummond.
MotoGP champions produce their best work on the track, so when English film-maker Mark Neale wanted them to talk, he took to the tarmac.
Neale's documentary feature film, Fastest, probes the 330kph-plus world of MotoGP including the heroes, rivalry, technology and dangers of the sport along with past, current and future contenders.
In a chilling reminder of the hazards linked to the two-wheeled sport, Italian competitor Marco Simoncelli was killed in October in a horrifying track tumble since the film's completion.
Minutes after the start of the Malaysian Grand Prix the 24-year-old Honda rider's bike veered across the track and into the path of other competitors, subsequently knocking off his helmet.
