The Formula 1 season has started and the Italians are obviously very excited to support their Rosso Ferrari and newspapers covered with interviews ( I think the only person of Ferrari that has not been interviewed is the cleaner) and the images on the television add another dimension to it. But since the start of the season is in Australia, the city of Bordighera decided to take it a bit closer to home. For this reason they have organised the GP Bordighera for.... dirt bikes. You know, the motor cycles that make a sound like they have been eating Chili Con Carne all year round! Nothing wrong with these bikes but this year it enduro, meaning ...through the city and even better just under my window and small balcony.
I think it was God that created Sunday to be a day of rest but he forgot to mention this to the Bordighera people cos this morning at 8.30 I had 100 bikes going up and down the road like there was no tomorrow. Sleeping became impossible and I was tempted to built a big speed bump in the road but decided against since they would probably only like it!
Since the weather was great a visited to the house in Seborga was a good escape plan.
Got in the car and tried to open the gate that normally lets me escape Bordighera but today decided that I wouldnt ! After having checked the gate several times the solution came in disguise of an old lady that took some tissue paper and started to rub the sensor on the gate and...voila, the opened! I guess you need to rub it the right way and that takes experience.
So, it was off to Seborga to take the progress (which was not a lot) and than a little bit of email and debrief work at the local beach house before heading off to Monaco to enjoy another classical evening with the philharmonic orchestra of Monaco.
This beats the noise of the dirtbikes and figures crossed that it will be over by the time the concert is over.
