Niccolo Canepa At Cartagena

  1. Sadly of a generation that finds it difficult to remember something a few weeks after you have been shown how to do it. Can’t link a FB video from the Cartagena FB page but apart from showing how poor the tarmac is, it does show how to ride an R1 round the circuit on a track day :D Andy

  4. But you weren't moaning ;)

    I'm with you: the real, real fats guys are incredible to see close up. For that corner or two you see them!
     
  5. I just wrote track day without thinking and on watching a bit of the video again, it may well have been a test day as there seemed to be some pretty fancy leathers and pretty slick riding. The circuit have been posting a lot of stuff, both racing and testing in the last week or so and I’m not sure any UK track day providers have started transporting bikes over yet. Andy

  6. They'll have locals. One time there we had different group severe day in a few garages, mostly racers testing, while on a UK organised TD. Now some of this guys were crazy. And thankfully not in my group
     
  7. Yes, watched Tito Rabat out at Almeria on several occasions and a young Spanish lad at Cartagena on what I thought was a 250cc 2-stroke, mixing it in the fast group and making some of the UK track riders look very amateurish. Andy
     
  8. Was anyone else waiting to see that lady pull up to check on her daughter? She would be perched on the top of the space station now if she had.

  9. Was at Portimao once when the Espagaro boys were in the fast group, was funny as f***, even Neil Spalding relayed my version of events on Eurosport lol ...
     
  10. Except it was Aragon....
     
  11. Fair play, I am getting old ...

    And to quote the soon to be imprisoned Mr Pons:

    Sito: 'My ryderz, they should onleee beee out wid dee faztezt riders'

    NL Response: 'They are Mr Pons, thats the fast group'

    Pons: ' You mean dare are ryderz slower dan diz?'

    NL: 'Yes Mr Pons, the rest of them'

    Pons: 'How do they stay on?'
     
  12. I'm not a fan of cartagena.

    Fair play to anyone who can get a wriggle on round there. I hate the place.

    The 'new' surface is poo as well
