Hey, whats all this talk about the race...I havnt seen it yet.......Oh yeah, i went to Valencia!! Fantastic day!
Well its a bit like Rockingham where you can view all the track from one location, access and the carpark in and out was easy.
It cost 50 euros for the stand on the start finish straight, and another 15 to get access to the paddock and the pit lane walk about.
First person we see walking into the paddock, Corser. Stopped for the usual chat, but he was having none of it really with anyone. Still did the photo opportunity mind so we were happy.
We then went down to the Ducati area, as we passed the hospitality tent( pre morning warm up) Laconi suddenly appeared at speed on his scooter, had to take real avoiding action as he nearly ran the other arf over.
I of course rolocked the other arf for not throwing herself under the scooter in a vain attempt to get special treatment!
Of course 10 mins later he had fell off!!!!
We then had a real good walk about, photos with vermuellen, Walker, toseland, and on and on.....
Pit lane was good, so close to all the riders again and this time they were up for a chat.
Both races were good, Corser was away with it, and in the second race Toelands bike sounded awful!
We did learn that post race, the podium winners all went into a hospitality truck for interviews.after the second race, Walker who was amazing and i believe he would of caught Corser if he could of passed Vermuellen, Got the biggest cheer of the day.
After all the interviews he came to chat with us brits that had gathered and were cheering.Although really knackered, He was virtually raped for all his clothing etc, which he gave away!!! We got the right slider!!
Would i go again, yes. I wasnt as packed as a GP, but you get your monies worth of races, and everyone and thing seems so more accessable.
We also saw Foggy, who didnt look that happy..much! I think there will be changes there soon!!
Happy days
