Museo Angel Nieto, Madrid

I was in Madrid last weekend to see El Canto Del Loco in concert (and they were awesome by the way, totally awesome...) and during the remainder of a weekend of chilling, wandering and enjoying the place, went to the Angel Nieto Museum; dedicated to the Spanish legend.
It's a great place, stacked out with bikes, leathers, photos and trophies from across his entire career, and a wall of messages and signatures from other Spanish riders and names (including Jorge Martinez, but not Alvaro Bautista sadly) - and even has the leathers form the 2008 "90+90" Celebration with Valentino Rossi. If you're in Madrid, it's well worth a look for a MotoGP fan; and you can find it a short way along the Avenida del Planetario, just around the corner from the Mendez Alvaro Metro station.
Here's a few pics...

MotoGP - Japanese Grand Prix - TV Coverage on Eurosport

Well, according to the little widget on my MacBook, the TV scheduling for this weekend's Japanese MotoGP events is going to mean some pretty early mornings and some pretty strong cuppas...
Still - it may all be worth it: will Alvaro Bautista deliver another stunner of a ride in the 250cc like he did in Estoril? Will Casey Stoner wrap up the title in the top class? Will Rossi continue to be in the mix again?
You can find out by following the action on British Eurosport on Saturday and Sunday...
