Grand Prix 500: The Rainey Days

Tomorrow on ITV4 from 9:00pm to 10:00pm

Sports documentary follow up programme in the Unrideables series this
time focusing on the story of US motorcycling hero Wayne Rainey who
dominated the sport in the 1980s and early 90s. Rainey at this time was
locked into a weekly two-wheel stuggle in the world championship with
rivals Eddie Lawson and Michael Doohan, but it was gangly Texan Kevin
Schwantz who was his main rival. The film includes incredible footage of
those heady days, and the men involved talk candidly about their
amazement at some of the things they did on the track, and about the
price they sometimes had to pay in injuries. It also includes
contributions from journalists, managers and their busy PR team. SUB

+1 Well worth watching, brought back some good memories. Those bikes were brutal and riding them must have taken some skill.It's a shame they no longer race 2 strokes. Unfortunately it looks like Formula 1 is going the same way with 1.6L tame hybrid cars that just don't sound right.
