First race of season 2010 (MotoGP)?

For me the best bit was seeing Ben start fronm so far back, and get on terms with the big boys.

considering his bike is supposed to be inferior quality. he was the rider of choice last night.

I feel for Stoner, he had it and threw it away. just shows if your going a second a lap quicker than Rossi - your going too fast. I think I understand his idea, he meant to show everyone how quick he is. and nearly did it. But to finish first - first you have to finish. and giving Rossi 25 pts start is not a good idea.

the speed of the Honda ??? where did that come from.

Lorenzo only losing 5 points to Rossi on a damage limitation excersise.

Bautista did well, shame about the end.

Rossi running out of fuel ??? how will that pan out through the season. if thats a true story then they havent backed of the revs any. and it means the bike wont go any quicker. that will interest the competition.

Qatar is not always the most exciting race of the year, but last night was a good opener.

(all of yesterdays racing was top notch)

they wont be giving the trophy to Rossi just yet.

what will Ben do with a decent qualifing position.

winter doesnt seem so long now, but it was.

Roll on Motegi.

Yeah, very strange to see Casey bin it. He later said it was 100 % his own fault, just pushing too hard.

Mad to see the Honda's out-stripping the Ducatis down the straight. Nobody has got near the Duke in recent years down the home striaght. They must have the power of at least 5 % in order to save engines. I think Espargro blew his in the first few laps. Not good with 17 races to go.

Great start for Fiat Yamaha. Dovi did well, but really that 3rd place was Nicky's.

Moto2 was belting. I have money on Tiger Toni and Alex Debon doing well this year, and so far they have not let me down, unlike ..........

............. Bradley Smith. Not happy with that race result. Not when you think the same bike was on the podium.

Roll on Japan. I cant wait.
