Sounds like a plan

We were in car today and my good lady drove back so did try a couple just to be sociable today - would have been rude not to

 

Unexpected weather today. Made trudging around in the Rukkas a bad decision having packed jeans in the panniers. Surprisingly large attendance for a Friday. We'll be in Woodcote A tomorrow if there are any seats, hate this Friday and Saturday free for all when every where else in the calendar you buy grandstand seats for the whole 3 days. Looking foward to the weekend and maybe some surprises. Andy

 

Disagree as it's good for those who commit and come all weekend and give a chance to wander around and see other sites

 

Looking forward to going Sunday, last year took my eldest boy, he loved it, and this year taking my youngest,who went to Ulster GP and loved it. Is there a place to leave helmets etc?

 

We'll just have to agree to disagree. The UK MotoGP tickets are some of the most expensive in the calendar and if I pay for a seat I expect to be able to use it for all 3 days. Andy

 

Spanish and Italian GP's a free for all Friday also Andy.

 

Nah, thought I'd work days today and nights Sunday.
DID'NT WANT TO GO ANYWAY !!!

 

Marquez
Rossi
Cal

Great front row start for Cal, and it's dry! Marquez in the 1'59's.....
