I wasn't much in the mood to take many pictures today, but here are a few.

Fresh and hazy in the morning. We were the first bike to pull into the parking at 8:20. I told my GF we were practicing for tomorrow.

I was scanning through the pictures of the practice starts and started noticing how each rider stands on their bike. Then this one shows up and tells the whole story.

and time to hit the road home.

A Minnesota Twins hat? I thought you are from Spain. Or are you an American?

Yep, poor Pedro has to take off before he topples on to his side. Those tippy toes can only hold him up for so long.





As for the rest of the photos, big thanks for posting. They're great shots.

Windy today. Apart from that it was excellent. Here are a few from today.

morning warmup.

morning warmup. I didn't take off that suit all day. We had great spots, unless it's windy. Tried making a barrier with my bag.

First lap 125

Ice cream stand guy fell asleep during the 125 race. During intermission the crowd heads down to the bar area and bathrooms. This guy does not move. People were taking pictures with him, of him and even the medical staff took a couple. About 5 min after the med staff took their pictures one of them shook the guy awake to make sure he was alright. He was just sleeping. The crowd went wild with applause. No one even pried the cooler to sneak an ice cream!

start of Moto GP

safety car

lap 2. the gaps have started and progressively increase.

Is that a special paint job on Stoner's bike? I can't tell for sure.

Really great looking track. Looks awsome on TV with a great layout.

Also watched the Indy cars from Montegi yesterday (that is another awsome circuit) and V8 Supercars from Phillip Island. Was a dificult day to get anything else done.
