Not so cheap day at the races!
« on: April 25, 2016, 01:59:33 PM »
Afternoon all, just as a total contrast to Tims thread. I've just got back from the Spanish motoGP round at Jerez. Defo not a cheap days racing (well spectating) took in three days, Friday practice, Saturday qualifying and Sunday race day. Was very lucky to be staying at the hotel which is next to the circuit so even if you're not in there viewing you can still hear the bikes going round, great stuff. Nobody puts on a moto GP like the Spanish, can't even start to compare it to a British round and I would highly recommend it if you ever get the chance, the atmoshpere is just brilliant and the people great. It was great to see Sam lowes come in first in the moto2 race
Cheers...Michael

Funnily enough, as I stood at the road racing, wearing four layers of clothing, including my bike gear, I thought, I bet Michael is a bit warmer at Jerez  :D
Namaste

Morning Tim.  To be honest we (myself the wife and two kids) went for a week, it was my joint christmas and birthday pressi from the wife. We did av a couple of days of rain, still warmish tho. Then fortunately come Friday,s practice day the weather started to pick up nicely, then by the time Sunday arrived it was glorious sunshine. Really enjoyed watching the moto3 class, brilliant close racing and man do them things sound good, you just don't get the noise on the TV. Mega quick too for 250's. Having said all that I,m really looking forward to going to Oliver's mount in June or July, can't beat some "real" racing ;) ;)
Cheers...Michael
