Tales of Valentino

2021
1 season
9 episodes
Documentary

Deeper than ever before into the detail of The Doctor’s career, from raging on-track rivalries to battling his own personal demons. It's not a ‘best of’, nor a biography of a World Champion, but an exercise in pulling back the curtain on some of Rossi’s most well-known moments, shedding light on the background and context behind them all, revealing little-known or so far untold vignettes from the career of a legend oft-imitated, but rarely bettered. Based on the testimony of those who know him best, and with observations from those who competed against him on track, this feature delicately pulls together more than 30 exclusive interviews from all the main players, revealing hitherto unknown tales of an Italian maestro who re-wrote the history books one story at a time.
