2 out of 5 stars How to edit the excitement out of a great sport.......2006-02-22

Timing the race coverage (from the line-up on the grid to the end of the post-race interview), we get 99 minutes. It's better than the 2004 review, but it's still unacceptable that almost half of the video is filler.

The first race segment is 7 minutes long, then it drops to 6.5, and pretty soon most of the remaining races are just 5.5 minutes long, which doesn't nearly do justice to the frantic last laps of several races.

I know it's possible to make a good review -- Duke did it in 2001. These recent DVDs are lazily made, and I'm not buying another for quite a while.

What has happened to Duke? There were 17 rounds in 2005. In a DVD advertised as 180 minutes, we get, in every round, four separate plays of the cartoon characters with a synthesized “Are you ready boots?” Then each round has stock tourist footage of places like Bruno, Sachsenring and Assen (just in case you were planning a visit other than to see a GP). Then there’s an on-board lap (apparently useful to some GP riders) but unlike past years, they don’t even bother to inform who the rider is. So that’s a full 119 minutes of filler. They cut all but 15 seconds from the post-race interviews. And they cut all 125 and 250 coverage, a feature of prior years. Finally, there’s the racing. Some of the most exciting footage ever, reduced to soporific four-minute outtakes. Compare the same company’s 2002 or 2001 offerings and it’s clear someone at Duke is ripe for new challenges. Guys, it’s quite simple. Show the races, comment on them.
