[@luvyesmusici4886]

I was fortunate enough to be there. I watched all the practices, and the races. Garry was on the cover of the program that round. I was fortunate enough to be staying in a small guesthouse with two of the 250 teams. I met Anthony West, Abe and had dinner right next to Ron Haslam and his wife. I talked to them a bit, and they were supporting Leon with his first 125 ride with ItaliaJet. The manager for Team Advance Shell Honda gave me a pit pass, I met all the guys/racers at the track, and was even in the garage during the 250 race. What a great experience! The next year I met up with a guy who I had met there, in Germany and we drove to Assen, Holland to catch the Dutch TT. After the race, someone cut the fence, we ran across the infield, and I got showered with Champagne from Valentino Rossi, the winner, above me on the podium.

[@yobiSatya]

It is true that MotoGP is not as attractive as before, now it relies on electronics, not skills. But remembering the past, Rossi with his win and his celebrations really made MotoGP interesting to watch every race. At the start, VR46 will definitely go down a few positions and when a few laps ends, then VR46 shows racing skills until VR46 wins. That's what makes MotoGP interesting to watch. So what about now? mm93 only thinks of winning, starting at pole, immediately away from the opponent. Yes, the motor is very fast, but it makes racing not fun. Although mm93 beats the VR46 world champion record, but it won't be as good as VR46, the legend of MotoGP race (and don't forget, the dirty mm93 race that made VR46 fail to win and make JL99 world champion) everyone knew
