As with the F1 thread - please use here for thoughts /opinions / predictions about outcomes / rivalries / Iannoneheadbuttingseagulls.

 

We've started in Qatar with an interesting beginning to the season - certainly in MOTO2, with the whole lights fiasco (although it was nice to see Luthi take the win on his own without it being handed to him).

 

Some of the new riders in 3 kicking up a bit of a storm (Bulega making a good start as a rookie).

 

As for GP - bit of a shame Iannone fell as he looked to make the race a little wild from the front.

 

I think Honda are still struggling a little, Yamaha have a good bike and the Dukes look like they're ready to take off as the 'winglets' look to be transforming into full on wings.

 

Thoughts?

Could be the Duc's this year Im feeling.

the power unit in the ducati's is just a different league! But they still have issue with maintaining speed through corners... Inuone has a big chance this year though, it's a shame Rossi gearing was wrong as he was hitting the limiter on the straights.

The Moto2 was ridiculous, I still can't understand why every jump wasn't picked up straight away, and the difference between a 20 seconds a drive through....

Certainly as Morbidelli's jump start was the most obvious of the bunch, I can't fathom why it wasn't picked up with the rest!
