Yep, great start to both this & the cars today. Looks like Mir may well be more than a lucky winner last year!
Well, ten minutes before the race I panicked and paid my subscription to motogp. If that race is anything to go by then a good decision made. Cracking race. That Ducati engine..wow!
Good result from Enea Bastianini. It seems Suzuki will be in a strong position once we get on the twisty tracks. I have mixed feelings with Yamaha, MV done very well but the rest of the riders seemed to struggle with the bike. Ducati monster engine but the usual struggle with handling and tyre wear. Honda, take Marquez out of the equation and is a mid-pack bike. Curios to see what will Pol Espargaro do with the bike once used to it. (I believe he done rather well tonight considering he road for very limited time) Aprilia - all the criticism Aleix had here, yet first you compare a rider to the teammate. He done rather well. KTM - was expecting a little bit better.
I'm not sure what happened to the Petronas team as they'd a good qualifying session and went backwards fast. So the first winner of the season then is a factory bike...question is who's up next, could we get a repeat of last season or not.
Who’s gonna tell me Rossi’s still got it? I’m sure they will be along soon to tell me it was a one off and that he can still finish on the rostrum at will........ I enjoyed the race, somehow I think Suzuki aren’t going to roll over this year, and as much as mrs Vinales can be a pain, you can’t argue with that, he pushed like a mother trucker to build that gap, totally on the limit
So he can get to the front and fuck off again making it boring again? Or are you saying the other riders can now mix it with him?
Thought it was a cracking race. Never had MV down for the win but he rode on the limit and kept it together. Mir is a class act and if Suzuki can qualify better he’ll be a regular podium finisher. Never thought of Miller as championship material tbh too inconsistent.
Franco Morbidelli had issues with the rear holeshot device, it apparently did not work at the start and it would randomly turn on during the race,(pulls the rear down) hence he could not ride at race pace.
