Odg: MOTO GP
The atmosphere at Silverstone was also lacking yesterday, this could be the effect of Rossi’s absence, it could be the fact that Silverstone isn’t a natural bike racing circuit, there were plenty of negative forum posts and comments when it was announced that Donington had lost the MotoGP to Silverstone and possibly the spectators voted with their feet and stayed away.
It was also noticeable that many grandstand seats remained empty, in fact a couple of grandstands were closed off completely and the TV cameras made sure these were not filmed. Overall the Silverstone event was a success, advanced ticket sales exceeded 52,000 and they anticipated another 5,000-10,000 on the day, however that is being a little ambitious, official figures released claim an attendance of 70,000, interesting as it didn't look anywhere near that.
The main objective for DORNA must surely be to ensure that Rossi returns as soon as possible, that they can attract another couple of teams to at least swell the grid to 20 bikes, that should be a minimum requirement. The worldwide economy is slowly recovering, ticket prices should remain fixed for the foreseeable future as that will also affect the number of spectators willing to make the annual pilgrimage to Silverstone.
Toliko o Silverstonu !!!!!!!
