    Not long to go, been having withdrawal symptoms with no sbk or motogp action on the telly 🙁
    Clearly another Kawasaki white-wash this year, but hopefully Bradl, Melandri and Laverty back in the frame should be another bonkers season. Im vouching for Chaz this year. C’mon the brits!!

    I’d also like to see Chaz Davies win the title this year but it looks like it’s going to be a hard fought championship with some great riders returning along with the new technical rules and the reverse grid for race 2.

    Crept up on me this year, I’ve been enjoying the cyclocross season so much I’ve not really missed the bikes. I only found out it was back this afternoon, I am excite :mrgreen:

    Loving the reverse grid idea, but it always reminds of racing a proddy 250 against race machines at club level. By the fluke of lottery you would get a front row start and be traumatised by much faster bikes flying past you….argh!

    what has changed with the tech rules? Limits to electronic rider aids?

    Tech rules – must use road throttle bodies. So Honda, MV, Kawasaki will have four cylinders at all times as opposed to split throttle. I would have thought that would make them spend more on electronics to keep traction no?

    Brilliant race, man of the match Camier (missed 3/4 of free practice…made me laugh when they said if he won the Italians would name a national holiday after him!).

    And a Camier statue lol!! If that’s any indication of the season then it’s gonna be a corker.

    It’d make me so happy to see Augusta Mv with a podium finish this year.
    Then we just need Kawasaki to get back into Moto GP and Suzuki to put some effort into WSB 😀
    Tbf I don’t think a lot of people realize how small they actually are as manufacturers….and how expensive running race teams is!!!

    Race 2 well worth a watch as is the WSS race. Motorcycles flying through the air are scary!

    Great start to the year in all the classes.
    Won’t share any spoilers but fantastically close finishes.
    The SSP is ridiculously close at the line

    Good to see Melandri back in the sport. Always interesting to have a villain 🙂

    All the races were excellent. Highlighted just how dull MotoGP is.

    Fantastic 2nd race. And an unbelievable SSP!! The big question is, is Melandri’s Mrs gonna be back on?
