Big crowd too.
Where are you? I'm between turns 12 and 13.
Just saw the overhead shot on warm up lap. Good viewing spot.
The riders come into view at turn 10 then vanish after turn 13. It's not a bad spot.

The website said that I had to pay for parking the car at the circuit, and entry was by a QR code, so I paid just under €30 for a parking pass.

No one checked the QR code, just directed to a big field to park in. Only a 10 minute walk from where our seats are.

Will be utterly pissed off if QR code isn't checked tomorrow. Not all robbers wear masks.

Though the Aleix Moto3 bike on the cool-down lap was a nice touch.

Could you imagine F1 allowing something like that...??!!

I wonder who rode his bike?

Isn't there a rule where you have to ride the bike back to the pits within 5 mins of the finish?

Maybe it was prearranged and they swerved the rules.

Definitely pre-arranged - it was one of his crew I believe.

Aleix next to Aleix :)

Indeed they do. But not via robbery. And did every car driver had a ticket?

And Enea Bastianini gets his knickers all in a twist over it...

A fair bit of self-justifying nonsense being talked there...

Yeah, agreed.

Also:
Enea wrote: “For me, it’s not correct. He is not the teammate [of Martin].
Didn't he keep saying he'd be racing for himself to get third & wouldn't be helping Peco?

Also 2: thought Peco behaved perfectly after the race. Takes something to act that well in defeat.

Absolutely. How someone behaves in defeat can tell you a lot about a person, and Pecco showed he was a genuine class act. Compare and contrast with Enea...
