The weather has turned almost to ..... It hasn´t rained all summer, and today the gray skies have rolled in. Sprinkles and drizzels have started this morning here in Zaragoza. Great chance of rain for Friday and Saturday. I´m crossing my fingers that it will be over by Sunday. Not thinking about the riders or race, just me, my .... and my bro riding and sitting around in the wet.



If anyone is planning on showing up, and needs a back up plan, there are "fiestas" in my town. This involves drinking and wandering around the streets going to "peñas" (member social clubs with free booze, beer and food for all). There are streets blocked off and bulls are let loose for the local dummies to show off their "machismo and cojones!"
 
Red Bull Racing?

Tell me more. Man, that may just be the reason to eventually go.

Try posting some pic buddy.



Predictions: Pedro crashes again trying to lunge for position. Rossi on the podium on the much improved Ducati. Rea finishes the race. Nicky cruises for the win.

Holy crap Jum.. rea finishes the race.. I'm proud of ya.. I got stoner for the win on the 5th grade painting repsol again.. I say Pedro lorenzo Rossi.. Hayden fixed up yet?



Although I love the drama I wanna see everyone get some good practice in this time so that sucks about the weather.. btw without googling.. what does baturro mean?
 
Here are a couple pictures of the bulls in town a couple years ago. They use young steers for the kids to play with. They can definitely knock you around. Usually one or two people are killed a summer. The big bulls come out latter in the day. I'll see what I nice pics I can get this weekend!

Great pic dude. Expect a lot more good .... this race. If you can suffer yourself a few of Nicky and some brolly dollys (in that order).

Okay my prediction, karma will work in such a way that Lorenzo will have a problem this race and allow Pedrosa the win to catch him a litttle in the standings, Crutchlow will get a podium and Rea will beat Hayden.



You can all stop laughing now too

Rossi will take Lorenzo out when his much improved Ducati has a front end fold trying to overtake.
 
Baturro, thanks for posting those pictures...incredible.



Bulls and Motor racing - are you a reincarnation of Hemmingway?
