But it does not deserve to have to host it at Le Mans. Thanks for the honest appraisal, David. I'm attending Mugello, Brno (WSBK), and the Saschenring this year towards my goal of seeing all the European tracks. I've been traveling to Laguna Seca since 1986 for the bike races, and the inaugural Indy round. Two years ago attended Mugello, Catalunya, and Donnington, and had a great time at all, even with the English Midlands weather. Le Mans is now off my list, I've experienced this aspect of France (I dread flying through Paris), and I don't desire more. I've had a great fun with French fans at the other events, it's the (un)professional workers' attitude that ruins the charm of France for me. This is the sort of honest reporting I value so much from Motomatters, and I'd love more installments about the tracks, and their surroundings, to guide me in my MotoGP adventure. Mugello with Valentino on the Ducati, I can hardly wait, what a party! Funny, I've never been there, only watched the Le Mans race on TV, and it is my least-favorite race of the season. Boring track. Thanks for the heads up, though. Since I work for a company in Belgium I travel there occasionally, and was considering going to a GP in
