Introduction: The Termas de Río Hondo Circuit is located 6km from the city which gives the venue its name, in the Province of Santiago del Estero. It was built in a 150 hectare area and officially inaugurated on May 11, 2008, during the visit of Argentina´s Touring Car Racing championship. In 2012, the reconditioning, enlargement and modernization of the circuit began, with the purpose of turning it into Latin America’s most modern, safe and vibrant circuit.
MoviStar is the Doctor's sponsor but now this too (Spain is the next stop after Argentina):
Dorna Sports is pleased to announce that Movistar will be the Title Sponsor for the Gran Premio de Aragón, as the Spanish telecommunications giant further increase their association with the MotoGP™ World Championship.

Here is Marc's brother. We should be seeing him come up to MotoGP pretty soon. Then we'll have two sets of brothers
and I thought this was cool trivia:
What does this say? Does it matter lol
...and I finally made it to 1,000 posts lol ...
But I'd also like to say: Let's not forget #74, Daijiro Kato who died on this day in 2003 while racing the Suzuka track. He was a great talent lost too soon
