Day One In Cold Valencia
Well it is very cold at the moment and the clouds are lingering around. I hope it clears up tomorrow with the temp rising a bit cause\' I\'m kind of getting sick of this.
Anyway, in the first session, the rain came down half the time. Majority of the riders decided to stick inside the garage most of the session while a few went out. Towards the end, I think all of the riders ended going out to get the feel of it. Valentino almost did a front flip over the bars and ran off the track. A few others went off the track as well cause\' it was so slippery.
In the second session, Valentino and Nicky got 1 and 2. Which is no surprise for anyone. They were trail riding, trailing one another, but it works cause\' it\'s Repsol 1 and 2. Max was struggling alittle but managed to get up there in the top 4, so that\'s good. Sete also whooing the home crowd. Alot of people walking around today!!!
In our garage, well..........................the bike made it around the track! I\'m just messing around, they\'re struggling but I think it will get better tommorrow, I hope. John was doing well mid session but of course he and Kenny are right next to each other on the grid so far. Keep plugging away for that better day.
That\'s it for now, alot of riders actually had camera time today, holy &*^#!!! You mean to tell me that some of the riders that are down the line actually got to get on tv? WOW!!!! That doesn\'t kill sponsorship or anything. Again, regardless if you\'re in the very back, middle or front, everyone should get camera time. Get over the favortism, show some support for all the riders, sponsors and teams.
Until manana, Hasta la vista, baby!!!!
