Well 10000 spectators, wonder how they're going to work that out ???
I think you’ll need to be well connected to get any of those...😢

Oliver’s Mount has the Barry Sheene Classic running this weekend....they’re allowing 2500 fans in on each of the three days, they’re being sold on the website but not at the gate.

I’d guess it will be damp and slippy there for qualifying today....I’d be there but I’m in Looe as I didn’t expect it to be allowed to run this year.

Some of the two strokes will be entertaining in the wet coming up the hill after the hair pin😱

I volunteered last year and spent almost a week there trimming hedges and cutting the grass verges to allow racing to re-start on theIr re-opening.

That must make some of those F2 sidecar outfits more than 2.5m wide as you couldn’t split them with a fag paper😱

Ducati must be the most challenging ride in the paddock, many have tried and failed. IMO the rider must grow with the bike.

As good as Rossi is he still got passed by a riderless bike😁 Never witnessed anything like this, glad there were no serious injuries, phew!

Despite the accident MotoGP is probably the safest form of competitive motorcycling apart from trials riding. I don't believe Rossi is trying to prove anything (he knows he doesn't have to) - he simply enjoys his involvement and I hope he continues to do so.

Reply yesterday after asking what's going on with Misano tickets less than 2 weeks to go. None the wiser
