Moto GP Final Pre Season Testing. - SV650.org

10-03-06, 07:50 AM

Hi peeps,

As many will know the Moto Gp circus is a couple of hours down the road from me at Jerez this weekend carrying out final practice before the first race of the season. There is every chance of some good action as riders really try to find their pace and some full race distance testing going on.

I am sorely tempted to pop along as due to the lower crowd levels you should be able to wander around a lot easier and get up a little tighter for some photo taking.

Is it worth the trouble or should I just wait for the actual race weekend in a fortnight?

Go!!! watch the track from lots of different places as you won't get the chance when the whole of spain turns up in a couple of weeks... It gives you a chance to find where you wanna sit for the main event...

Even better take classy photos of these guys riding in the warmth post em on here and make everyone else sick...

Oh yes,I'd go to that.I'm not really one for the big events as i like my view and I don't like big crowds but that sounds ideal.Damn sight warmer than a bleak Mallory Park last Sunday as well.

I think i read that 55,000 fans turned up to the last test

But I'd go anyway, but then I'm going to the BSB tests at Snetterton next week and it'll still be wet and cold
