Got to be happy with the brits; only works bikes in front of Cal and Bradders, Redding will only get quicker once he's got the bike dialled in (mid-corner issues?), and Laverty had a very solid first race. What happened to Bautista?
Great result, what an improvement. The Doctor did a really good job though. Looks like it'll be a really interesting season. Just so good to see the Ducati's up there. The power on the straight was fantastic, Shame he couldn't stop it at the end of the straight! There's got to be some wins this year.

I reckon they shouod revers the grid next time out, first starts last, because watching MM cut swathes thru the field taking no prisoners at all was entertainment alone. Other than Lowes, its been a decent Brit Qatar I reckon
Fab race. Thought it was 2007 all over again when Stoner was behind on the last corner every time and passed by the line....
i agree ...think Bautista's opinion may differ but hey ho there is always gunna be a few unhappy campers!
How long have we waited for that? A truly competitive Ducati. And it isn't all motor - the Hondas are still faster on the straight (not by much). Have Ducati ever put 2 bikes on the podium? I can't remember them doing so. Brilliant race and a season to look forward to. Austin will be very interesting, as Marquez was in his own private race there for the past 2 years. It will be interesting to see what Ducati can do about that. And finally: did anyone notice that the Tech 3 brolly girls were hotter than hell? Hope they do the whole season!
its a shame that hayden didnt get the chance to ride a ride-able ducati after all his years of service,
Qatar always gives 'unusual results' due to the track and dark conditions. BUT WHAT A RACE, WHAT A RESULT! Hope its a sign of things to come. Always makes me laugh, mess around for hours in the light, then race in the dark, lol
