No but moto 2 has Jake Dixon and Sam Lowe’s both should be up the sticky end and john McPhee in moto 3. Moto 3 is generally the best racing you can watch final lap with 1 of 15 riders in with a chance of winning. I’m hoping that Franco morbidelli is up there again this year.

Good to hear, hopefully the lads will progress to the top tier.
I'd like to see Rossi have a great year. It may well be his last in GP. Anyone know why he's called the doctor?

Last year was one of the best since I've been watching, marquez is next level when he's fit but last year showed just how even rest of pack is, I loved it, so unpredictable, each race showed up strengths and weaknesses of bikes and riders.

Just watched both the practice sessions from today and the update segment in between, to catch up on who is where and what went on in testing. Looks like it will be another cracking season. Last year turned out way better than I could have hoped for, given the circumstances. How many different people led the championship until right up to the end? Let the weekends racing commence. By the way, did I mention I like Moto GP, a bit!!

Alex His nickname came about as they said he could fix any bike, i.e. take a shite bike and make it win. That really went down the pan when he went to Ducati !!

SPOILER ALERT
FP3 and Quali were good. Darren and John on the front row in M3, Sam cutting a swathe in M2 and who would have thunk it? Bagnia? Pole? new circuit record? Bring it on, though I really thought that Jack was going to do the business, after yesterday's performance. Mind you there are 12 different world champions on the grid, so you might as well roll the dice to see who will win. It's going to be a good year, I can feel it. Loving the new front end launch systems as well.

Some great racing, absolutely gutted for wee McPhee but dive bomb Darren was awesome. Moto 2 I hate to say I struggled to watch every time Lowes gets to the front I just wait for him to bin it. However what a performance completely owned the track and great to see Jake Dixon do so well. Moto Gp wow those Ducati launches they destroyed the competition of the line, I really thought it would be game over, and did not expect MV to do that, I’d have bet on several others before him. Vale oh vale I do believe you’ve shown what you are but please think about stopping before your legacy is tarnished. Roll on the season.

Vale oh vale I do believe you’ve shown what you are but please think about stopping before your legacy is tarnished. Roll on the season. The Ducati's launching off the line and annihilating the rest of the field to the first corner was a sight. But you had to feel for poor old Rins, put his neck on the line trying to pass Zarco (who was very impressive on the Pramac Duke) before the last couple of corners, only to run slightly wide and have Z and Bagnaia steam past on the run to the line - Ducati power! MV played a blinder and well deserved the win. As for 46, I feel this will be his last season and a move into the VR46 team management may well be on the cards. I also felt for wee McPhee, taken out by a rookie error and DB well deserved the podium. As for Sam, I'm with you, watching through my fingers and just waiting for the sound of metal on tarmac, thankfully it didn't happen and 25 points in the bag! JD deserved a pat on the back for effort. Having broken a scaphoid many years ago, I know how painful a wrist injury can be. All in all a great start to the season.

Missed Keith on BT myself I know what you mean. But I thought the same when Julian left. I thought Gav stepped up well though and as with all change, after time it becomes the norm.

Great racing, the bikes look amazing, can't believe anybody watches f1! vinales was awesome, after ducatis looked like they could beat everyone. Felt sorry for mir, but, run wide in a corner at this level and there's no mercy. As I said before, so unpredictable, can't wait till marquez returns!

My home broadband is BT halo fibre
