Hi,

We are heading to Mugello this year, any tips, recommendations of which stands to sit etc.

thanks in advance.

I booked flights to catch the Mugello Motogp.....

THEN THE FUCKING CUNTS CHANGED THE FUCKING DATES THE FUCKING WANKERS.

Fuck 'em, I'll be at the IOM instead.

I land in Zurich on the 18th of May, the race was on the 21st.

I'm still doing:

• 24 hours of Nurbergring - 25 and 26th of May
• IOM TT - I'm there from the 31st till the 13th of June
• 24 hours of Le Mans 17/18th of June

Then I have till the 22nd of July to zoom around Europe and the UK.

Mugello was going to be a real jewel though, I was really looking forward to being in the middle of that crazy yellow hill.

Yeah sorry to hear that, we very nearly got caught pout in the same way, something to be said for procrastination. Our plan is to head to the Barcelona race the following weekend before heading back to the UK and home.


looking forward to Mugello atmosphere.

Fucking awesome! I loved Barcelona being a huge Gaudi fan. Very jealous of your trip!

I see Soup has posted an article bemoaning the fact Dorna are ignoring them, and they really do have a point.

However, They need to acknowledge that the Nascar brigade that ran bike racing for a few years over there is what has really decimated the American talent pool.
With Rainy in charge they will recover and be back to producing World talent

There's a few GPs after 24h le mans that I could get to, I'll play that bit by ear though.

With a bit of luck and planning it's possible to fill yer boots. One local went for a month and got to see three races: 2 GPs separated by a WSBK round IIRC.

In a moment of madness I offered to take the wife this year.
She'll no doubt enjoy the delights of Firenze and the Toscana,but I bet ya, its gunna cost me a shit load more than the past ten years in Italy.

Some guys I know had built several rifles at home. It started out sensible enough but eventually ended up with big game rifles. There being no game big enough around these parts, off they went to Oz for a buffalo hunt. The wives weren't the least bit interested in hunting so they stayed in Brisbane with the credit cards.

Saving money by building your own gun can work out real expensive.

yes i have looked at this and tried to workout a 3 or 4 week bike trip round the alps with sbk and motgp weekends.Never found a satisfactory schedule. Might be better now with more rounds than ever!
