Hola Mi Amigo's
Posted: Sat Jun 11, 2016 7:58 pmGot back from Barcelona last night. What an awesome piece of the world, relaxed, friendly, nice and warm (at this time of year) and plenty of tapas and cervesesas 
However the most sensational event of the week was undoubetdly the MotoGP. Un..friggin'...believable. This was the first Euro GP I'd been to and I'm hooked. The level at which they follow the sport and get into it is incredible. >100,000 at the track, not a pissed idiot in sight and everyone just having an absolute ball irrespective of who they followed.
Being Catalunya Marquez and Pedrosa are pretty popular (Lorenzo is not liked in the North) however Rossi blows them all into the weeds (even in Catalunya). Rossi fans would easily be 10:1 to other fans. Irrespective of whether you like him or not you have to acknowledge that what he has done for the sport is totally unsurpassed I reckon.
We were sitting in the stadium bit so we could see the last four corners but unfortunately where Luis Salom crashed. The reaction of the crowd whenever a rider came around with Saloms flag and number was sensational though.
Will post some photos shortly
Cheers
Glen
