Season kicks off this Sunday (BT Sport 2 4pm, main event 7pm).
Has Cal jumped ship too early as the new Ducati GP15 has been quicker during testing??
He's already saying that the Honda is a handful. Doesn't seem to be a problem for the aggressive style of Marc Marquez.
Who knows. Just wish Marquez wasn't so dominant A remarkable talent.

Sadly I've just moved house and have such poor broadband i can't get BT Sport any more.
Shame as I reckon it could be a great season. I do think Marquez will be dominant again but hopeful Rossi will put up a bigger challenge. The Ducatis do look a lot better but we'll see.
It looks like the starting grid will look a wee bit bigger too.
Cal....hmm I don't know. He doesn't sound that happy.

Broadband isn't that good here either but just good enough to watch BT Sport.
Pity it's still not on the Beeb; their presentation/production team was so much better.
To all F1 fans; can we have our Suzi Perry back?
She is a biker after all, and quite knowledgeable.
The fact that she's also drop dead gorgeous, scrumptious, so sexy, drool drool, has nothing to do with it whatsoever.
I might try persuade her to return to MotoGP in a letter as follows....

Dear Suzi,
I cook a real good breakfast............
And we could discuss tyres on my bike.
I've got a hard on mine........

I liked the BBC coverage but i have to be honest I really enjoy Keith Heuwen and Julian Ryder mainly because it reminds me of when they commentated on Sky for WSB during the Foggy glory years.
A friend used to tape it on VHS and send it to us in the mail so that we could watch it (couldn't afford Sky in these days).
I really miss the fast broadband.

I can't justify paying an extra £13.50 a month to Sky for BT Sport just to watch the MotoGP

I bought a season VideoPass from motogp.com last year and this year so I can stream it live, but the commentators are crap. Steve

The Ducati GP15's have gone well today and Suzuki must be delighted with their return.
All on the soft tyre though which will probably go off during the race proper.
Great time for Cal today on the mediums who was 2nd just behind Marquez by just 0.096 sec  Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

Dare I say it??
Rossi wins again
Legend.
He was the only rider with a hard on, so to speak.
Great race with Ducati 2nd and 3rd on a brand new bike which is really quick.
Will the Honda come good later?
All I can say is that it's all good for the sport.
Proper racing  Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

Glad to see Rossi win - had been fearing each win would be his last.

Re Suzy Perry. Cannot stand her so you're welcome to her.  Now:

Great racing - nice to see Rossi show the young guns the way home

Expect Honda to regain the podium in Texas

Looks like it's going to be a great reason !

Charlie,
If Marquez hadn't gone wide at turn one, I'd expect he could have well won.
But Pedrosa had the reoccurring arm pump problem and says he can't race anymore.
Which would explain why he couldn't keep up with the front runners.
This gives Honda a real predicament.
Will they continue with just one rider I wonder? Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

Can't see a team like Honda only running with 1 rider, I guess we will have to wait and see who they can bring in that is not locked into a contract. Has Pedrosa stated he is leaving?

No. He just said he needs to find another doctor as he's been told more surgery could make it worse. Despite him saying he can't race with this condition, Honda stated that they'll support him. Sounds like at least Texas is doubtful. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

Rossi wins again
The wiley old fox!
Marquez nil point. Still think he'll win the series though. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.
