The race itself was very exciting and full of tension. My idol Carlos Checa did very well, but the battle for the top spot in all classes was just amazing with a very unfortunate Valentino Rossi withdrawing with mechanical problems. I felt just like 14 again , that was the time out family was visiting motocross very week-end. Of course I had some privileges thanks to my current job.
Was able to come very close to the riders after the warm-up, see and touch the bikes (the one next to the bike is my colleague resp for sales) ... The most exciting thing however was the fact we were able to go in the safety car and do one round around the circuit before the race ...after this amazing experience I must say I do admire even more the speed at which those guys go around, this is not only a question of putting the mind to zero and the looks to the horizon, but above all of ability to control the bike in each condition ...
Of course the memory of my visit to the tennis tournament of Stanford was just around the corner and I had to come to the conclusion that at the end of the day it's same same but different. Top athletes that do everything for their sports, but at the end of the day are only human. One thing is for sure: I'm thrilled being there now and then ..
Happy travels
