Carolina and I recently returned from a holiday to Spain, where midway through, we made the trip over to Aragon to watch the MotoGP. Learning from last year's trip to Misano, we were much better prepared this time, and booked up some grandstand tickets on the final bend. This not only gave us an excellent view of the action, but also gave us the audible delight of full factory grand prix machines under full power. Heaven. My ears were still ringing when we got back to the hotel.
Spain is a beautiful place and even with a little Fiat 500 rental car, the roads were great. One route in particular, the C12 and the N420 from Tortosa to Alcaniz would have been amazing on two wheels.
Aragon is a wonderful place for a racetrack. Its in the middle of nowhere and the views from around the circuit are stunning, with uninterrupted views for miles and miles.

Where Misano was clearly Rossi territory, Aragon is firmly a Marquez brother stronghold. Despite this, the crowd applauded every rider no matter of colour or number and it was an experience I'm unlikely to forget in a hurry.
We haven't quite confirmed which race or indeed races we will try and get to next year, but Le Mans is quite a high favourite at this point. Although saying that, the amazing experience we had in Spain means Jerez and Valencia are still in with a shot.
Here is some mobile phone footage at the end of the first lap for each class. The audio really doen't do the noise justice.
