MotoGP

Good win for Jake Dixon. He seems like a nice you lad.

I was supposed to go but forgot to book it.

A track that MM93 goes well!!!!

He needs to stop riding it like he is Marc Marquez. He's too used to having to ride the uncontrollable Honda.

I'm off to Jerez next week, home GP might his maiden win.

I'm the exact same. Rossi was/is one of my idols. Looking forward to the atmosphere of Jerez.

I've never been before. Been to Valencia loads of times to the point where the venue bores the

arse off me. Great night life in Cheste and Valencia but I wouldn't go back for free.

A rundown of the weekend.

Flight from Dublin was delayed to 8.15 so we were late taking off.

I luckily was allocated 1 of the emergency seats on the plane. Arrived

to it and some really tall guy was in it so I said work away at it. I'm only

5'5 so any seat does me on Ryanair. Turns out the tall guy (from Bray) knew the hotel

we were staying in in Seville on Thursday night and he lives in Seville.

He had a car waiting outside the airport. A gift seeing it was so late at

night.

A friend ours was in Benalmadena for the week so we were meeting him

in Seville Friday afternoon. Hung around there for the day and done some

sight seeing, Cathedral is really cool, done a nice boat trip too. Taxi between

4 of us to our apartment in Jerez was only €80 (Uber)

Got to Jerez, fired the bags into the apartment (€650 booking.com) and

went drinking. Apartment was a little bit outside the city but we didn't mind.

Had a stroll into Jerez and met a few really nice Spaniards. One was a Dr (Jose)

who has been to Dublin a few times. Him and his family took us around

Jerez that night to a few really nice bars. Had my phone stolen off the table in

an Irish bar we were in. Apparently it is really common, gangs going from

pub to pub doing it. Put a small dampener on things but it's only a phone.

The Spanish Dr (Jose) we met insisted on collecting us Sunday morning to

bring us to the circuit, that should have only took us about 15 mins but it took

about 45 with traffic.

We had tickets for the General area which was packed. The Spaniard idolise

Marquez!!! A great day altogether. Weather was brilliant, beer was plentiful.

Outside the circuit they had buses organised to run people back into the city.

The que was huge but all in all probably 45 mins waiting to get on one which

was tough with a hangover from hell standing in the sun.

Would I go back to Jerez??? I wouldn't hurry back. Uber operates in Seville

but not Jerez so getting around can be difficult. But it is 1 more GP ticked

off the list so maybe next year I will. If I do I'll make sure my phone is always

in my pocket and the accommodation isn't so far from the city centre. The

welcome we got from the Spanish people we met was unreal. They could not

do enough for us, we were very lucky. Time for a detox and roll on the WSB

in Portimao.

Oh and me met Uccio Salucci in Seville on the way home. Nice friendly guy

but is English is as good as my Italian!

Anyone looking for info at all, gimme a PM.

Cheers! Too old to be a Youtuber now! Don't think anyone could listen to me.

Being going to GP's, WSB, BSB, TT, Irish Road Races since around 1992 so you

could guess my age. My Dad brought me to Fore.
