Holy crap. Just got back from Portugal. Took a weekend trip to go ride Portimao.
That is the most batshit insane track i have ever ridden. So many blind turns, and DRASTIC elevation changes. It made Jerez and Estoril look like childs play by comparison.
Second session I binned it. Turn 7 is a right hand hairpin that goes uphill. Was carrying too much speed trying to be billy badass, and too much lean angle, caught my rearset on the ground due to the camber and elevation change and it just hooked and took me down.
Damage was pretty minimal to the bike. Mainly cosmetic, I was/am fine, was able to ride the bike back to the garage, clean out the gravel from my belly pan, change brake levers and continue riding the rest of the day.
Got lots of video to sort through, but once I get something up on youtube I will post up here.
