Yeah looking foward to it.
Crutchlow still managed 14th quickest after grinding off his finger tip
😯

Casey will,unfortunately, take the championship.Jorge will whinge like buggery....all the time.Ben will win a race.Dani will carry on being unremarkable.Simoncelli will ROOOOOOCK!!!
The goat will........I hav'nt the foggiest 😆
Can't bloomin wait.

It is going to be an amazing season, no doubt. I agree Stoner will win it, but i think he's cool, so i'm happy with that. 🙂

Going to be good to have a Brit to cheer for again!

CAN

NOT

WAIT!

This season is gonna be ace... Rossi on a Ducati, WOW! I wouldn't bet against him, even if the smart money is on Stoner...

Thank the lord ........its been far too long 😀

*Not sure it's going to be that good a season as I can see Stoner running away with it. He's soooo much faster that anyone else.

Good to see Spies kicking Lorenzo's arse it free practise. Can't see Lorenzo doing much as he's got competition this year from the four or five other very competitive riders.

*Hope I'm proved wrong on my first statement.

The proper motorsport starts next weekend!
😉

It's been a long bloody wait but thank god it's back! I think Casey can take the title this season IF he keeps it rubber side up but I believe his front-end issues won't haunt him like last season. Dani though is going be the one to watch as he's on the same machinery, needs show his number 1 status and he's definitely going push all season for sure. The Honda's are definitely the machine to have this season with their trick gearbox but don't discount Jorge or Spies just yet.
I think Vali has his work cut out getting the best from the Duke but can you honestly count him out? The big problem he has though is that shoulder injury as it finished Foggy's career and also Hodgson's as well as it's one that takes so so so long to heal properly. Maybe just maybe it's one injury too far for the great Rossi though but lets hope not hey.
Bring it on boys and let those engines roar!

PS big shout for Scotty in Moto2 as well who will be right up there I believe.

Any one but Stoner the whinging Aussie gets right on my tits, I think Lorenzo and Speis will be up there, how will little Danni cope with a very quick team mate. Will have to wait and see about Rossi but with Burgess and the team from last year he could spring a suprise.

Moto 2 looks as mad as ever at least 15 riders can win in that, Redding going well today and Smith not far behind.

So Alvaro Bautista has broken his femur!
Who will ride the only Suzuki now? Hopper?

If the first race was anything to go by WSB is going to be amazing aswell.....go on Eugene...tobesure!

YESSsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.......................................................(and F1 too in AUS!)

Who will ride the only Suzuki now?

Be good to see another Australian World Champ. 🙂

The [s]proper motorsport[/s] procession starts next weekend!
FIFY 😉

is there an F1 thread or should one be started 🙂 come on BUTTTTTON!

Stoner is a dullard (wifes well fit though) - not sure he'll run away with the season though. There's usually a fair bit of 'sandbagging' during testing and free practice as riders don't want to give the game away... Whatever happens it's going to be entertaining 🙂

Should be a very exciting season and I can't wait to see how Rossi goes, although like most of you I can't see anyone beating Stoner. Pedrosa could be one to watch if he can keep it upright and I definitely wouldn't discount lorenzo. Interesting that Moto GP is this exciting without having to hype it up - unlike F1!

Also all the best to ,Bradley Smith I think will do really well as he needed to step up.

MotoGP has been boring the last couple of seasons IMO - WSB is where the fun is

The proper motorsport starts next weekend!

+1 although a few mad protesters chasing the F1 cars may have helped Button, Hammy and Shoemaker to get a move on!!!

Well, I watched the race and it was, er . . . . really rather dull!

no adjustable wings, KERs or circuit sprinklers? boring

Zzzzz

Have to admit, that it still just doesn't do it for me. tuned in to see all the new bike/rider combos and hoping that it'd be a thriller but I just can't get excited about it even though there was some decent action at times.

Dull is a bit harsh, the set up for the season is great. Stoner should of vanished but didn't, he loves that track and quali times suggested he would win by a huge margin. Lorenzo was great and was way better than anyone expexted. So Honda not as far in front as everyone thought. Simoncelli and Dovi going at it hammer and tong, Speis and Rossi. Moto2 was as loopy as ever. I enjoyed it 😀

Can someone tell me how Lorenzo passed Pedrosa?

I fell asleep mid way through the race & only woke up when my lady gave me a kick with 1 lap to go.

Yup, not the best.
The thrill of the new season got me through it.
Stoner was great.
Pedrosa didn't have it in him to be strong all the way, again.
Lorenzo was good.
Simoncelli was brutal, grudge match with him & Dovi.
Rossi was alright, as much as could be expected.
Well done Cal, great start.
Should be more exciting…hopefully.

Was a bit dull, is it because the field is relatively small? Fond memories of Rossi vs Gibernau, that wasn't dull 🙂

It definately needs more bikes.

I hope it gets more interesting 😕

At least the Moto 2 series seems to save the day.

I wish they'd bring back the 500's or at least lose all the electronic gadgets.

interesting that Moto GP is this exciting without having to hype it up - unlike F1!

I was on the edge of my seat throughout 🙄

WSB/BSB is where the fun is. The electronics seem to have done to motoGP what they did to F1 - emasculated it. No decent power slides, riders seem to be more static on the bikes too 🙁

Take the medicine, it'll clear up in no time 🙂

indeed

No gravel traps and big run outs here 😯

I am thinking that maybe the family, friends and fans of David Jeffries are wishing that there was gravel traps and big run outs. The same for countless others.

Well, all the moto gp yayers and F1 nayers must be a bit disappointed, watched the first race last night and was bored sh1tless by it, is moto gp always that exciting?

is moto gp always that exciting?

pretty often, yeah
