RE: New member
Thanks.
Things go well. I have the ferries and today i have closed the house reserve.
So all i need is my bike
When asked why they were not Spanish in the TT, I remembered that it was because the Spanish federation forbade it, but was not sure and now I found information:
"Desde 1970, la Federación de Motociclismo de España prohibió a sus pilotos participar en esta prueba, ya que en ese año murió Santiago Herrero cuando iba en la tercera posición del TT.
Desde ese trágico accidente, muy pocos pilotos españoles volvieron a participar hasta que en 2007 Antonio Maeso, el piloto de Almeria decidió que quería entrar en la leyenda del TT y sacando una licencia especial, pudo ver cumplido su sueño: participar en el Senior TT Race."
"Since 1970, the Motorcycling Federation of Spain forbade his pilots participating in this test, since in that year died when Santiago Herrero was in third place in the TT.
Since that tragic accident, very few Spanish riders participate again until 2007, Antonio Maeso, Almeria pilot decided he wanted to enter the TT legend and getting a special license, he could see his dream: to participate in the Senior TT Race ."
