Wow! What an event! What a location!
What a race! It was amazing to just be there, let alone
watching the best race of the modern era. The lead changed
so many times. It was a thrill ride right to the end.
More photos to come. |

Valentino
Rossi Says 'Hi'
Almost
everyone's favourite rider & the greatest rider of all time,
Mr Valentino Rossi, turns my way as I try to
eat the biggest chocolate wagon wheel biscuit you've ever
seen. It was massive!!! Cheers to the bakery in San Remo.

1st
place - #93 Marc Marquez
It was an incredible battle from the
start of the race right to the finish line. Even on the last
lap no one had any idea who was going to win.
Marc was just too fast in the end.

2nd
place - #99 Jorge Lorenzo
This guy has the
best name - pronounced 'Hor Hey'. Jorge has just been racing
down Gardner Straight at over 300km/h. He slows down to a
meager 200-250km/h through Doohan Corner, shaving his elbow
and knee pads in the process. I can't believe anyone can go that fast and be
so close to the ground - every single lap! I thought he was
going to win.

3rd
place - #29 Andrea Iannone
In this photo Andrea
Iannone races down the main straight. I have no idea how
fast he's going but the fastest rider over the weekend
almost hit 350km/h down the main straight, so you can safely
assume he's pretty zippy here.

4th
place - #46 Valentino Rossi
Speeding around Doohan Corner at somewhere between
200-250km/h (he was traveling at over 300km/h just moments
before), Valentino Rossi proves once again why he's a living
legend. Almost everyone was going for him - the greatest
rider of all time. He may not have won the race but it was
fun watching him try, fly and ride into our hearts for the
millionth time.
Do you ever get nervous when taking photos? I do VERY
rarely. This was one of those times. Very exciting and very
nerve-racking!

place 5th in this momentous race.
