I’m going to post some awesome pictures from the Moto GP weekend in Barcelona. Regarding my own bike-to-be it is a tedious case, yet another promised delivery day has been changed and soon it won’t matter anymore, it will be too late.

Plan A, to ride from Madrid to the WIMA rally in the north of Austria has already, due to lack of time, turned into plan B. This involves a ferry ride from Barcelona to Genoa to shorten the travelling days. But since the ferry ticket can’t be purchased without the registration number this plan is now also at risk. Plan C will be to fly and rent a bike. This is not the journey I want to make since I will miss out on all the countryside riding and the adventure I have longed for since last year. But at least I will get to see my friends at the rally and have a good week there with them.

Now, some sweet memories from Montmeló:

I'm ready to enter heaven

On Friday we had a good view of the boxes from the main grandstand

During the pit walk some riders spent a lot of time with their fans, posing for pictures, chatting and signing autographs while other riders were totally absent.

Luis Salom

And in the boxes some last changes were carried out on the bikes !!
