    Hi Freddie - Great behind-the-scenes look at the Valencia GP. Every racing fan should experience at least one live GP for the incredible scale and atmosphere.

    Great video! So cool to get some behind the scenes insight into what must have been a spectacular weekend at Valencia GP circuit.
    Many thanks to Freddie and Monika for both, your hard work and for sharing this exciting event with us.
    A big thankyou to Michelin too for inviting us in via your brilliant vlog platform.
    I’m 68yrs old and i’ve only just come back to motorcycling after a break of fifty years. Never felt so alive as when i’m riding my bike but always just as keen to catch up on your latest adventure.
    Love your style and content, you make for an excellent partnership!
    My best wishes to you both!

    I was fortunate to get a VIP ticket to the recent Bennetts British Superbike Championship at Castle Donington with the McAMS team and loved every minute, seeing behind the scenes is a real treat and education, everyone works so hard to get their riders on the podium. Won't ever forget it. Thanks for taking us round the MotoGP,, a real eye opener.

    Fantastic video and presentation as usual, Fred. Yet again, I'm jealous, but in awe at what you were able to experience. You planning on sticking around in Spain for a bit, or heading elsewhere ? I actually managed to take my Triumph Thunderbird (one I emailed you about) out for the first time in 4 weeks (due to a rare dry weekend in Southern England) from London to Portsmouth and back, and my God, did it feel good. Sadly I think it won't be out much for the remainder of 2022 as the short and long term forecasts are not exactly bike friendly. I will make an effort to give it a nice coat of WD-40 and polish the chrome though. On another note, I've also discovered an extremely special coffee shop in Haslemere (Sussex-Surrey border). Will send you some pics and info on it for when you're back in blighty and out and about in 2023. Keep up your wonderful content, sir and I'm looking forward to the next installment.

    Freddie, I’m blown away. I’ve never seen racing trailers like that. Two story’s high, just for the riders. Wow. I’ve never been to a super bike race here in America, as a Harley guy, we mostly follow flat track, where Harley and Indian fight it out on the dirt. It brings the fans out, but not like that. And the pits at a flat track race ain’t nothing like that. I was amazed, but when you got to the food! That’s when I lost it. It wasn’t hamburgers and hot dogs like at a flat track race. Truly amazing video. Thank you! Come to America, and I’ll take you to the Red Mile in Lexington ky to see them come around the first turn on the old horse track at 100 mph, if your lucky you’ll get hit by some dirt👍😃

    I own a 2020 kawasaki W800 cafe and it is the most amazing bike. Did not know it at the time that it here in the states, was a flop. Best known secret. Would tell you to try one. Wish it had a center stand, but I do believe you would enjoy the journey in perfect style. Gas light comes on very early and it doesn't show mileage when it starts flashing that puts me into fear. But then when I fill up, 3.1 gallons. Still have 50 miles till empty. I have had it a year and it still gets to me. Love the content, great behind the drap of moto GP! Thank you for not going on a balcony!

    • @FreddieDobbs
      @FreddieDobbs  2 года назад

      The W800 has been a bike I’ve wanted to test for two years, but because it was discontinued in the UK, I couldn’t get one to test. It was a fairly bad flop here too- although those in the know (like yourself🙂) absolutely LOVE them!

    Got the SAD effect here in South Wales seeing the weather your experiencing when it has been raining here at some time during the day for over a month, really peeses me off.

    Hi Sir. This is a really good video. I normally do a vlog with my mobile phone at F1 Races. Am I allowed something similar in MotoGP? It isn't monetized or used for any commercial purposes. Purely for my RUclips Channel. Also, can I carry a compact camera to the race to take some stills? Visiting the Indian GP next weekend. Thank you!
