I'm off to Valencia in November for the final round. I'm hoping to watch Rossi battle it out to win the championship. Lowes and Kent too!! First one I've been to since Donington in 2005

I'm considering Malaysia but depends on a couple of things, mainly can I wait that long for my first holiday in 4 years!

Had my first trip to Le Mans this year - loved it. We were in the free grandstand on the start line and the atmosphere was on of the best Ive seen. Going to Silverstone and Misano too.

We have done Le Mans for the past 5 years... I love the atmosphere in and around the circuit. I was very privileged in be in the Yamaha garage with Vale's and Jorge's M1s just before morning warm up ... even touched them ... the noise of them starting up was immense but nothing compared to Iannone's Ducati in the next garage ... Oh and I met Vale too

Will happily give away my tickets if it looks like Valentino Tosspot has any chance of winning the championship......which I'm please to say doesn't seem to be likely now that the others have all woken up.

Kato's a huge Biaggi fan and has never forgiven Vale for the altercation that occurred on the way to the podium a couple of decades ago, even though Max has.





...plus, he's got his 'grumpy old git' online persona to maintain ;-)

Well, that seems a bit harsh for the 9 times (plus) World Champion... I'm a late covert to Vale fever but I can't help admire how he's got back on form after the tough years. Wasn't impressed with his treatment of Sete Gibernau et all back in the day, and thought he was a bit of a cock. Same thing applied when he binned Jerry Burgess.

But I'm converted. His domination at his peak was in reflection quite scary. He melted Gibernaus brain, and I'm sure there were others. And now the old bloke is showing Marquez what experience can do for youin building a run at the Championship, and demonstrating to Jorge Lorenzo how to get the crowd on your side. He has great race pace. If only his quali was better, I'd fancy a few quid on him.

So, shall I forward my address Kato?
