MotoGP 2017

was gutted to see the qualifying canceled yesterday due to water on the track.

it leaves us with a bit of a mixed up grid.

always love the first races when riders are on new teams and bikes.

Lorenzo being on a new bike manafacturer for the first time in MotoGP having only ever been on Yams before... will he be able to master the monsterous Ducati unlike many before him?? i think he has the right rider style for it personally.

Always love Rossi doing well as he's such an iconic star of the sport.

Maver Vinhales is the current bookies favourite for the title, ahead of Marc marquez, it should be an interested battle for sure

 

[Frank Gallagher]

much more entertaining than the formula 1 !

well in Rossi lad

it was a god race, shame for Folgar, he was riding well. Vinales is the man to catch it seems. Did they interview Crutchlow? I was wondering if his coming together with Rossi at the start had any carry over to his crash.

BSB next week, wooohooo

Folgar is such a smooth classy rider. felt sorry for the kid going down like that. he will be one to watch on the bike for sure.

didnt hear anything from Cal. he's had a woefull weekend for one reason or other.

doent look like Honda have the raw power (yet), so untill they find something, which they inevitably do, then its game on.

i do think this field of riders yields more than a couple of winners throughout the season. most open ive seen it for years

its a belting field of riders, plenty of winners there so I don't think MM will have it his own way and lorenzo looks like he's struggling. Happy days

Lorenzo is a confidence rider.. the more he rides the duke the better he will get. redding will be one to watch i think too.

On a seperate note how sweet are KTM's looking?

Plenty have tried riding the ducati and not gelled with it. He relies on confidence in his front and the ducatis need to be manhandled a bit more than is his style. I'm not sure it was the best move for him.

I agree on Redding, he was great on a moto2 bike and his style suits the GP bikes so hopefully he can do enough to get a factory supported ride next year. I'd like him to finish top Brit.

The Suzukis look well tidy and have made the step up to compete on a good footing with Honda and Yamaha.

Zarco looked very quick tbf. Got carried away, pushing too hard early on, was probably a tactic tho.

..I prefer watching horses race but being different helps make the world go around.

Not been anyone nearly as good at that since Stoner.

from the testing over the winter, Stoner is still pretty good at it too. Shame we didn't get to see more of him at the top
