R-Fed shows up at Estoril for this weekend’s Portuguese MotoGP

Federer, pictured here with new coach Jose Higueras, is currently in Portugal for the Estoril Open, which starts today. The heroic-chinned Swiss tennis genius prepared for the tournament with a sponsored visit to the Portuguese MotoGP, won yesterday by Jorge Lorenzo. Federer’s thoughts on the two-wheeled circus? “It’s much more dangerous than I’m used to”, he observed. “And it’s really loud.”

Thanks for that insight Roger. Grid Crasher can pack up and go home now.
