Great read. Thanx for taking the time.
Just clear this up for me; have they banned camping at the circuit completely? I know it was always a bit crazy with engines on stands being run until they blew themselves to pieces but it was no worse than the Sachsenring and at least it kept all the nutters in one area.
A good RR buddy.
It looked a great trip. We had a great time in Ravenna & San Marino on one of our Italy trips.
Lovely area.
BTW, Your TC looks great, I sold my 2010 to buy an LC in 2013, seeing your motorcycle and looking back I am asking myself: why?
You are certainly in the running for "best beard of the day".
Hi Andy,
Only if you're arriving my bike! Campervans and motorhomes still get in no problem and that really pisses me off as it's a bike event! I saw a wheelbarrow going really fast up a hill with an engine in it! Pit bikes still arrive by motorhome and scoot about like nutters. I emailed bookmoto but they never gave me an answer. I don't know what's happening this year but, much as I love going here, I'm going to give it a miss until I have my own campervan in 2020.
This seems to be the way that more and more circuits are going and it makes it difficult to get away straight after the racing if everyone is leaving at the same time and you’ve got to ride or walk back to your campsite before packing up.
Go to the Sachsenring where it’s only a 5 minute walk from the circuit campsite to the main entrance
I’m in Khulu
My place is 30 mins from the tunnel if you ever fancy a lay-up before crossing
We saw you in Scarperia last year, one of my Scottish friends was talking to you. We parked in the 'secure' bike park up near the entrance and had to carry all of our camping gear into the circuit then lock the bike gear in the luggage in case it was stolen from the tent. Not ideal as we also expected to camp next to our bikes. We used the DFDS ferry from North Shields to Ijmuiden, which is OK on cost if you can fill the cabin berths. We went down to Switzerland for a few days then back up the RDGA after we left Mugello, but the top half above Briancon was still closed with snow.
Ironic isn't it that bikers aren't welcome at the campsite at Moto GPs?
I was chatting to Giacomo Agostini after the Valencia Moto GP this year. He shook my hand and said how nice it was to see someone going to a motorbike race on a motorbike.
I remember that too! It sounds like you had a great trip as well! The likes of the Col d'Iseran doesn't open before the second week in June, at the earliest. I love it at Scarperia but I'm not going this year because of all the hassle last June. I hope to get a campervan next summer so my misses and I will go in that which is a real shame because it's bike racing for, primarily, bikers.
