So who was lucky enough to catch the opening race last night in Doha, Qatar?
The best race since Catalunya 2009 without doubt! Rossi, Doviziosa, Iannone and Lorenzo wheel to wheel for 22 laps made for a mesmerising 45mins viewing.
The Yamaha of Rossi won against all odds with the Ducato 20kph faster on the straights (seem to remember this scenario with a retired Aussie a few years back)
The heavily fancied Repsol Honda's back in 5th and 6th. Marquez ruined his own race by going off 1st lap and being last at that point. Pedrosa suffering long term arm problems again and looking unlikely to ever be a World champion. Reckon he'll retire sooner than later.
All in all a great start to a new season.
Oh, got my tickets for the British MotoGP end of August. It would be rude not to.
