Heh, football over the last decades seems to point that being in the same
place of some 1000 excited norverners should make one wary ;-)

Actually, Valencia is where I attend races (GP and SBK), there is no myth in
riding 25kms out of my own town :-)

Sure. For you, Valencia is practically foreign!

Mugello. 90,000 latins + engines + scooter wheelies thru crowd+ zero
health and safety = atmosphere and a hoot
Done twice, by bike, wouldnt fancy getting out with any other vehicle
mind. Hills make for good views even with cheapest tickets (Prato).
Going again this year.

Has anyone any thoughts on Brno or Sachsenring?

These are beginning to look more likely from a timetable point of view
if we do a bit of a european tour at the same time.

I think I'd love to go to Assen (despite that lovely picture, Simon)
but it is too early in the season to fit around our holidays. Bum.

I believe that both sell out quickly, so buy your tickets soonest.

Heh, no. As in Mallorca and some part of southern France and Andorra, I
don't have to speak a foreign language there ;-)

Yes, but the Valencianos claim[1] that they're not Catalan.

[1] At least to me they do.

Of course they are not: They should apply for an upgrade if they pretended
so :-P Let's say it's sort of Flemish and Dutch.
