The Supersport World
Championship experienced an unpredictable and
turbulent season in 2008, with strong fields of
talented riders fighting for victory while Yamaha and
Triumph battled to break the Honda domination.
Now you can relive the
drama of every single round in the Official 2008
Supersport World Championship Review on DVD, brought
to fans once again by Duke, the home of two-wheel
racing on DVD.
The Official Review
brings you the complete story of an incredible year,
packed with more than three hours of fast and furious
action. The review features comprehensive coverage of
all 13 rounds, from the drama of the opening race in
Qatar – which saw both Hannspree Ten Kate Honda riders
crash out – to the final race in Portugal and the
triumphal return of 2007 World Champion Kenan Sofuoglu.
It was drama all the
way, with seven different riders claiming wins in some
of the closest-ever races – including the truly
awesome Assen round which saw Honda teammates Andrew
Pitt and Jonathan Rea split by just 0.014 seconds at
the chequered flag!
All the highlights of
‘08 are here; Joan Lascorz taking his first World
Supersport win, former World Champion Fabien Foret
dominating at Monza, the turn one chaos at the
Nurburgring and, of course, the
stunning performance
of Australian Pitt as he rode to a second World
Supersport Championship title with a round to spare.
An incredible
mid-season run of success put Pitt in control of the
title chase. However, a surge by Britain’s Rea set up
an edge-of-the-seat finale to the championship battle
– at least until one of the title contenders was
pushed off the track at Magny Cours!
Sadly, 2008 will also
be remembered as the year the sport lost one of its
brightest rising stars. British rider Craig Jones
crashed while dicing for the lead at Brands Hatch and
tragically succumbed to his injuries in hospital. The
23-year-old had been enjoying one of his best seasons,
and the incredible performances captured on the
Official Review stand as testament to his awesome
talents.
The Official 2008
Supersport World Championship Review is the must-have
guide to an unforgettable season.
