[ST] MotoGP



I haven't heard anybody making any comments on Laguna Seca, so here is my two cents.
A well deserved win for Nicky, it was his weekend. I tell you these bikes are scary how much horsepower they produce. I was sitting in turn 2 with the Ducati guys (tight hairpin), under acceleration almost all of them were sideways. To be fair to Vale, he did pretty good for not knowing the track, besides two half hour practice stints. I liked the retro paint job on the Yamahas, was that only for that weekend? 
Saw a few STs parked, a few 05s but mainly, Speed triples and Daytonas. All in all it was a good weekend, but the racing was mediocre, didn't change much after the first half.
Foot traffic over the bridges was ridiculous. The organizers have to come up with something better. I was standing in line for 30 minutes just to get out of the place over the "Red Bull Bridge". Friends of mine in a car got stuck in traffic for more than two hours trying to get out the parking "hills". It was total lawlessness, I'm surprised nobody got killed, people were that pissed. All that in mind I'll be back!
