Spa! It’s only Spa!! We all love Spa, and I think this weekend’s grid proves why, not to mention the stunning scenery around the circuit as they cars thread their way through the trees. This a proper race track, not like the car park in Valencia or the Mickey Mouse run around in Hungary.

With the aero updates introduced before Kentucky, mixed with the ‘overtake assist’, will we see a return to 2 and 3 wide at Chicagoland? I hope so! Unfortunately this race is on at 2am our time so I won’t be watching live.

Last year this event was affected by severe weather conditions as Hurricane Ike ran amok over Indy, the race had to be stopped because of it and the 250cc got cancelled, so in effect you could say this is the first ‘real’ running of MotoGP at Indy. I really hope the local populace will come out to support it, unfortunately there is an IndyCar race up in Chicago which isn’t million miles away and will pull some of the potential audience away. I’m not sure there is a lot of crossover of fans but there must be some, right?
