Alvaro 2009 Caps Available From Speed Genius

Although we've yet to see the full *2009* range of Alvaro Bautista official fan merchandise showing up on the Speed Genius website, a couple of items from the new stuff are certainly there; including two kinds of baseball cap.
They're pretty sharp looking, and feature the "new" squiggly graffiti style of Bautista logo on the black which makes up the side panels and rear of the cap, plus of course a big yellow "19" on the hot red of the cap front and peak. Well worth a look, and certainly decent value especially if you combine the postage with a couple of other items. We'll aim to let you know as soon as new items are released onto their website (we're not only anticipating some nice new Alvaro Bautista shirts and tops, but also some other items like rucksacks, flags, helmet bags and umbrellas) but for now, we reckon these are really nice pieces of fan gear and well worth investigating...

Alvaro Bautista Fan's Club Launch Party 21_03_09

Alvaro meets his new Diablo mascot

Mahou & tapas at the Bar Los Tinajones, 11pm Saturday

Had an excellent time with Michaela on the mad “daytrip” to Talavera de la Reina for Bati’s new Fan’s Club launch party....
Lots of sun, tapas, cold beer, meeting with old and new friends - and even a late night trip to the Bar Los Tinajones (it’d be criminal NOT to go there!)

It was excellent to get to meet the new Directiva (though they were extremely busy and we’ll have to wait till next time for a nice long chat I guess...) and to be back in the friendliest, most special little place I know. (It wins hands down over London!)
It was totally worth the exhaustion and rush to go do this trip. A really happy time - and it was fantastic to be there on such an important day for Alvaro, his Fan’s Club and his fans. Siempre contigo, Alvaro...

Oh, and for any of you who are members of the new Fan’s Club, the shirts for this year are nice red polo shirts with printed logos on front, back and sleeves. This includes a large ’19’ and Fan’s Club logo on the back and the club badge, Mapfre sponsor panel and Talavera Se Mueve logo on the front.

Hola, Gracias y Saludos:
Alvaro y Noelia, Susana y Javier, Armando, Julio, David y la nueva Directiva, José, Juanjo, Miguel, nuestros amigos en el Bar Los Tinajones, y muchos otros.
Y tambien, Xaiver y Toni.... (Encantado).
