The first motorbike race in Bilbao (Spanish Basque Country)
took place on 5 November , 1911.
Newspaper praised the quality of the roads
and, since this was a Sunday, there would be no movement of cattle to hinder
the racers. The race was only open to participants from the Basque Country and
Navarra.
The first prize went to Perico Sorriguieta, at 1 hour, 48 minutes
and 42 seconds. How long the track was, I have no idea…
