Saturday and Sunday at the island became a blur of beer, babes and bikes and I loved every minute of it. Here are some of the pictures of the weekend. Some of the best racing motogp has put on in years. It was a four way ding dong battle between Lorenzo, Marquez, Rossi and Iannone with the lead changing 17 times. Brilliant.

Sundays race day we used our paddock passes to the max and spent half the day in the back of the pit area rubbing shoulders with the stars. There's one thing that was abundantly clear and that was Rossi is a celebrity superstar and is mobbed wherever he goes. Once Rossi left the crowd dispersed and I managed to stand next to Lorenzo when he walk out. Rossi is taller than I expected and Lorenzo is fairly short, both are very thin lanky dudes. The paddock pass was worth its weight in gold. It was fantastic to get to see all the motogp action up close and personal.

Fun!! Your girls are adorable. Is your oldest at the "I'm going to marry him someday" stage when looking at the racers?
ReplyDeleteFYI - my feet hurt just looking at the shoes on those babes. I know, you probably didn't notice they had shoes on. :-)
The girls seemed to enjoy seeing Rossi and Jorge up close as in right next to us.
DeleteYes I was thinking of those poor girls in their high heels......well maybe I was.....
Awesome dude! I'm thinking it's about time I came over and checked out what all the hype at Phillip Island is about. Next year I think. That was the best GP race I've seen in a very long time!
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil. You've gotta get over and do it at least once. This year was one of the best thats for sure. Great weather and great racing. Couldn't ask for anything better. You'd love it.
DeleteHey Steve, this is a really enjoyable write up. And your pics!!! We watched it on TV as we were away riding for the weekend. Absolutely brilliant race, the best in many years I reckon.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate, was a top weekend at the track with some excellent racing. How did your ride go?
DeleteOh yeah the sound of those bikes , impossible to convey to anyone who has not heard it.
