I did. Disappointing day for the Brits today But so glad that Juan Mir has finally won a motogp race and now holds a comfortable lead in the world championship with only two races to go
I agree @Tiglet. McPhee going down in moto3, Lowes in moto2, and Cal in moto gp, a day to forget for the British racers
And here we are, last GP this week end. Good to finish on a new track for the championship. After all cancellations, it was interesting. Riding several times 2 week end in a row on the same track didn't make it boring imho. Good news for us, Triumph won everything in Moto2
I agree Dilli, I also watched the Red Bull Rookies, what a highly entertaining race that is! For those that missed it, all riders on same bike, so it's all about rider skill & sheer courage, below is a little taster of what it's like.
Yesterday's MOTO 3 and MOTO 2 races were amazing, MOTOGP was good, but no stake. Looking forward next season !!

portimao must be included next year. spectacular. I dont have the words to describe how I imagine it must feel to ride.
Agreed. It is also a very good live event, with good viewing of the action from many great vantage points.
A bloke who works in the building I maintain, has done a couple of track days there, on his V4 Pinigale. He sez its awesome.
It's on the list mate, seriously thinking of forgetting racing as in the UK it is always bloody raining when I turn up to race! For the price of 2 days racing (approx 1 hr 20 mins of track time) plus a test day where you get maybe 1hr 30mins over the day, I could ship my bike to Spain or Portugal & do 5 days on track in glorious sunshine
Some lads I know from t'next village do a couple of foreign track days a year, thought about going with em, but havin mi grandson has scuppered that I reckon!
I am sure your lass will give you a pass Foxy There are some great deals, under £600 for 5 days on track in the sun, shipping the bike & B&B in a local Hotel or 3 days of guess what tyres to use in Pembrey!
Started doing trackdays again last year after not doing them for about 10 years. They've changed a hell of a lot in that time, a lot more money and specialised bikes in it (and a lot more muppets unfortunately) and euro trackdays weren't a thing back then. Anyway, I did one airfield trackday last year to get back up to speed a bit and check the bike out, then did a 3 dayer at Cartagena in October 2019. Loved it! 28-30C each day, heat was a problem rather than rain, it was open pit lane* so as much tracktime as you wanted, then back to the hotel for a swim in the sea and then some drinking with lot of pisstaking Booked in for Almeria in May next year (delayed from this year...) can't wait. *The company I went with is a smaller one rather than one of the main euro trackday companies, the TD's are a fair bit more expensive, but they only have one truckload of bikes going down rather than three like the bigger companies and OPL rather than groups.
