	France: MotoGP 2011 Motorcycle Rest Places The usual Relais Motards Calmos, motorcycle rest places (for those of you who need to ride long distance, and need a place to calm down, tank up, re-energize or just meet up with fellow bikers), will be present before and after the MotoGP motorcycle race held at the Le Mans circuit this weekend. (see the related articles below to see what a Relais Calmos looks like) Some rest stops offer food, drinks, mechanics, massage or even sleeping arrangements. This service is offered, mostly for free, by the French Government and the FFMCFederation Francaise des Motards en Colere - Angry French Biker Association, an association of bikers fighting for the rights of motorcycle riders. The rest stops are usually very well indicated on the roads leading to the rest stop. Keep a look out for signs saying "Relais Calmos". So here are the 3 motorcycle rest stops (called Relais Calmos Motards) for the MotoGP motorcycle race held on the weekend of 13-16 May 2011. NOTE: The number before the "/" in the title is the Department number (province number). Click on the blue globe for a zoomable map. Some of the locations are approximate! NOTE2: In the general map, clicking on a red marker will give you the same information about the Relais Calmos. WARNING: There will be a lot of Police speed radars installed along the major roads there. Sunday, the mobile Police force will be out in massive numbers, so watch your speed!
