What a race. It's not the first time we have seen a surprise come from a year old Ducati at the beginning of the season. Still very heartwarming seeing Grasini (yes, I can't spell) take that win. And that purple bike looks awesome!


The podium contenders I would have picked pre race, none finished above 5th... At the beginning it was looking like a race of endurance.. I had also hoped for more from the vr46 bikes.

Pol and A .. Al... His brother who's name I can not spell continue to impress. A few years ago I would have told you they where not long for GP racing. Now they are beating the Marquez brothers... One on Marc's own bike and the other on the damned ape.. hell yeah guys!

Yamaha looks to be in big trouble this year. Not to bring everything back to rosi, but even slow, I think Yamaha is better off with that man designing bikes than not.

​​​​​​I'm sure Marc will get to grips with the "new" Honda. But it doesn't seem to be "his" Honda any longer. Time will tell.

This is going to be a good season.
