It all started way back in April in Kyalami, South Africa and wound its way around the globe for thirteen two-race rounds in search of a Champion for the Millennium. One thing that would be certain is that it would not be a Fifth World Title for the King of Superbikes, the legendary Carl Fogarty who had a horrific career ending crash in Round 2 at Phillip Island, Australia. It all added up to some of the greatest, most intense Superbike racing of all time. For the first time in years the Championship was wide open and the top riders would battle for every inch of the track. Texan Colin Edwards (runner up in '99), wanted to take it to another level with his new twin cylinder Honda RC-51. 'The Sideways Samurai' Noriyuki Haga would blow the season apart with some of the most aggressive and inventive riding ever witnessed. Australian Troy Corser had things to prove, and returned on the stealthy matte-black Aprilia RSV 1000 to shock the biking world with its immediately competitive edge. And wild card Neil Hodgson saw his chance to carry the British flag, racing fearlessly to throttle the GSE Ducati over the line on home turf at Brands Hatch. This three-hour program is the full and complete account of the season with relentless, aggressive and determined riding from every round of the 2000 World Superbike Championship. 180 minutes from White StarlDuke Video Pastrana."
