Many of the 38,000 people who visited MotoMadrid 2013 Last weekend, they weren't just looking for a place where they could see the latest models or where they could see the bike they were interested in live. There are also many, including myself, who are looking for something more. To see the latest models or ask about technical characteristics, we already have brand dealers and manufacturers' Web pages where extensive information is given about them.
As I told you, for me a fundamental part of this type of meeting room is the entertainment and curiosities that you will not be able to see or have in your hands other than in an event like this. And of course this part is fully guaranteed with more than 200 exhibitors who gathered in this edition of MotoMadrid 2013. Furthermore, there are not only products directly related to the world of motorcycles. You can also buy from a glue with almost miraculous properties to bits capable of drilling any material.
And as in any fair worth its salt, all exhibitors use beautiful hostesses to make their stands and products more attractive. But in this edition, without a doubt, the portal specialized in online shopping Fanoutics and its stand, hit the nail on the head with the live body painting show where we could see the entire process of "painting" of their hostesses. It was undoubtedly one of the busiest stands. But also, do not think that in this edition only women stewardesses were seen, it seems that little by little women who are passionate about motorcycles are pushing hard and their tastes are also taken into account. Thus we were able to see the only "hostess" of the entire fair at the Red Seven Stand.
Another of the attractions of this room are the circuits located outside the pavilion for tests and exhibitions. Three test circuits for Peugeot, Piaggio, electric motorcycles and scooters of different displacements, in which basic notions of safe driving were also taught, exhibitions of mini-bikes, stunt and trial with the participation of pilot schools, and professionals, external routes with monitors in the vicinity of the enclosure. As a common denominator, all the activities were free and open to public participation.
The entertainment offer was completed with the encounters that pilots of recognized prestige in the world of motorcycling kept with the fans. MotoMadrid received the visit of Alex Crivillé, Julián Simón, Pol Espargaró and Alberto Moncayo, Héctor Faubel, and raid riders Joan Barreda, Ignacio Chivite and Laia Sanz, winner of the Dakar rally in the women's category. The Ducati Team stunt rider Emilio Zamora also visited the show. Precisely in the next installment we are going to show you in great detail the GasGas 450 with which Laia Sanz has participated in this last edition of the Dakar, achieving her triumph in the female category.
Also, if you paid a little attention to the stands so as not to miss any detail, you could find things as curious as "La Fefa". Yes, Fabian C Barrio's motorcycle with which we had the opportunity to chat for a few moments. Or the curious photocall of the Motopoliza stand where you could get on Mattias Nilsson's motorcycle, given for the occasion, so that later the guys from Motopoliza would make you a photomontage on some spectacular background.
I leave you the photo gallery and tomorrow it's our turn " gut"Laia Sanz's motorcycle.
