    Oooh, this is very, very tempting. I will put it on my calendar. However, it is too early in the year to commit definitely as I never know where I will be come September!

    The penultimate round of the WSB used to be held at Assen a few years ago & it used to be great fun going there, especially when the weather was really good. But it's not the same anymore now that the Assen round has been moved to earlier in the year.

    Is the Magny Cours round that good? Has anybody been before? From what i've heard from when the Bol d'Dor was moved there from Paul Ricard, the circuit isn't all that good for spectators, but others probably have a better opinion of the place :shrug:

    I have been for the last 10 years as this used to be the last round, I think this will be the last time as i'm not liking the new 2 day format for the WSBK, one race per day :mad:
    On the spectators point, I think it's really good as you can see most of the circuit from a few of the free stands :disco:
    Still a nice ride down and good atmosphere :)
