Anybody that finishes that race (especially on a bike!) is my hero!

By Moto GP standards the race at Le Mans was not as close as it can get. Although the weather played a big part in it…seeing bikes drifting/rear wheel steering under braking into corners at speeds well over 100mph is glorious stuff. I would think that even if bikes aren’t your thing, the skill involved cuold be appreciated by the average petrolhead.
Riding at the TT is just taking racing to another level. The Northwest 200 was also on TV over the weekend and road racing of this type has to be admired for the combination of skill and bravery.
Finally, i was at a trackday at Cadwell a few weeks ago and over lunch several hundred bikers turned up and ended up spectating for a while. i think the cars interested them and it certainly made a difference to the mountain section through to the hairpin seeing hundreds of faces as you whizzed by!
Saw the race finally last night, and you’re right, not the same with all that water coming down
So, for all of you guys new to MotoGP, make a point on watching the next one, bound to be a dry race at Mugello, and you’ll see what we say
Thread drift I know but I coul dnot help noticing your avatar looked a bit familiar young David??
On second thoughts it might have been this one
What can I say… the photo�s just too good to be ignored?
Hope you don’t mind mate, really is a great shot.

Hope you don’t mind mate, really is a great shot.
Of course I don’t mind - glad you like the shots.
Wow! The Barcelona race was just a treat.
If there’s a re-run the last 10 laps should not be missed!
Ian
Ian, agreed. it was sensational
Yep. And I saw it in the flesh
