General / Off-Topic MotoGP

Any MotoGP fans here?

The new season has started in Qatar & the race will be on at 7:30 tonight on BBC 2 (can't wait!).

Who do you think will win?

I think Crutchlow should be on the poll because he's been so fast lately but my money will be on Lorenzo. Unless something unusual happens I can't see anyone else with a chance of winning.

Lorenzo will win, unless he gets torpedoed like Assen last year.
Would love to see Cal on the podium
Hoping having Rossi back near the front will lead to better racing, Rossi fights harder for position. The last 2 seasons have been a bit too much of a friendly procession
Will be interesting to see how Marquez does, I reckon he will be fast, but fall off a lot, but like Rossi, he's a fighter, so should be good to watch

Quatar is such a weird track that anything could happen. Rossi and Lorenzo both on the same bike again is going to be fun.

I will be waving my Union Jack for both the Brits on the Tech3 team. Why didn't you stick Bradley Smith onto your poll as well?

I am also glad to see the return of my favourite rider, Mattia Passini to Moto2. He's like Valentino Rossi, but maybe with a little less talent.

Well that was a good start to the season. It's too bad Rossi couldn't get to the front sooner because I would like to have seen Lorenzo's reaction to Rossi's pace. Masterful stuff indeed.

I'm too late for the poll

I think I would have voted for chupachups as well.

Cards are mixed again, it was a great show of Rossi, Crutchlow, Dovizioso .. and yes Marquez as well, Im glad though he didnt win the first race as a rookie

poor Dani, I think he isnt making it this year

ohhh bring back Garry McCoy
.. or Randy Mamola

cheers

It went more or less how I expected it,
I was impressed with Marquez,
Cal is fast but needs to learn to overtake, or get his starts right, he was held up all race by people who were behind him on the grid, that happened too often last year as well, still, good too see him fighting with the leaders.
Rossi is back!
Shame Bradley fell off...but it's his first race at top level..

 

[Frank]

I wasn't too sure how I felt when Rossi passed Cal. But I was glad to see Bradley was up after his fall.

I'm really looking forward to the next race, Hopefully Rossi might start a little closer to the front.

Going to be a cracking season, especially with The Doctor back in he mix.

Ride of the day, apart from Rossi had to be Marquez. Podium in 1st MotoGP race is quite special and he seems like a nice guy too. Pedrosa's nose will be firmly pushed out of joint by the end of this season I think.
