What a fantastic day! The weather was great the races were exciting, Lorenzo and Bautista crashed on the first corner - right in front of us with Lorenzos bike in flames and they almost had fistycuffs! What more could you want? Although it would have been good to see Lorenzo and Stoner have a good race and I'm sure Stoner wouldn't want to win that way but - a wins a win and did the Aussies go crazy!! We decorated the Strubben with Aussie flags and everyone wanted photos. One American guy fell asleep on the lounges so his friends draped him in the flags and took photos. We have met many Nationalities, as well as more Aussies and some of them are going on to Germany so we will catch up again. Although they all got pretty hammered by my boys ordering them more drinks so they may well avoid us. Fair to say they had a good time at the time but may feel differently in the morning. Drinks started at 8.00am and we were the last to leave at 7.00pm (because they closed the bar) It took another half an hour to get to the car because everyone wanted to hug and take stupid photos and then all the way back to the hotel the flags flew out of the windows and the horn stayed on. We got lots of cheers. It was exactly like Phillip Island - only without Matty :(
It's been a great experience and we have a whole lot of new phone numbers for different countries all around the world where we are welcome to stay. It's funny being the only sober person in a sea of drunks!
Tomorrow we head back to Amsterdam to drop Steve and Mike off and then Peter and I will catch the train to Berlin and stay for a few days before meeting Steve for the German GP where we can do it all again.
The pictures are of Lorenzos crash, Lorenzo being taken back to his garage, the usual Love-in and Peter as he is now as I type this.
