THE TRUE STORY OF A TRUE CHAMPION Champion Kenny Roberts
Duke, the home of motorcycle sport on DVD, is delighted to
announce the release of the latest addition to its
extraordinary “Champions” series, a celebration of Kenny
Roberts.
Never previously available on DVD, this film explores the
story of a true legend, whose
breathtaking skills and determination took him to glory as
a racer, and as a respected team boss.
‘King’ Kenny is, arguably, the greatest all-round
motorcycle racer the world has ever seen. Champion Kenny
Roberts traces a career which saw him take the American
No.1 rider title two years in a row – in 1973 and 1974 –
by winning a variety of events which made up a cross
section of the sport in all its forms.
Awesome skills honed on the 100mph ovals of dirt track
racing and in Formula 750 were then brilliantly applied to
the 500cc World Championship, where Roberts stunned the
sport by taking victory in his first season, 1978.
Incredibly, he secured the World Championship again in
1979 and 1980, earning millions of fans. After proving
himself a champion on all kinds of track, Roberts turned
to the business side of racing, rapidly becoming one of
the world’s most successful motorcycle team owners. His
remarkable career is recalled in awesome racing footage
featuring unforgettable clashes with fellow legends like
Barry Sheene, Eddie Lawson and Freddie Spencer. We hear
from Roberts’ protégées Wayne Rainey and John Kocinski,
but, most importantly, we hear from ‘King’ Kenny himself.
Roberts talks openly about the races, the machines, the
people, the victories and the controversies which shaped
and defined one of the most amazing motorcycle racing
careers in history.
Champion Roberts includes two fascinating bonus features,
charting the almost unbelievable success of the Marlboro
Team Roberts outfit in its first two years in Grand Prix
Racing.
Marlboro Team Roberts 1990 Season
features action-packed highlights charting the team’s
victorious debut year, as Wayne Rainey dominated the 500cc
World Championship and John Kocinski secure the 250cc
World Championship in a nail-biting finale, and
Marlboro Team Roberts 1991 Season is the dramatic
story of the gripping championship battle as Rainey roared
to another title, and Kocinski graduated to 500cc Grand
Prix racing. Champion Kenny Roberts is Out Now on DVD, priced at £16.63 and will be available from leading video outlets or direct from Duke Video: Tel 01624 640 000, fax 01624 640 001 or email mail@dukevideo.com. Visit www.dukevideo.com online.
