Sooo.. World supers got underway with Bautista buggering off into the wild blue yonder, who do you have your money on for this seasons Moto GP??

Yamaha improved but not quite there (so we are told)

Honda now with front end problem (apparently) with Marquez, Lorenzo and Crutchlow all recovering from injury.

Suzuki - hummm... quite possible!

KTM - not yet

Aprilla - see KTM

Ducati - a definite maybe!

Personally, I'd like to see the Vale up there again, giving all us old 'uns hope!!

Bring it on!!!

The one that Facebook keeps saying should retire to give young people a go.. despite still being year in year out in the top group.... my reply is always shall the rest of the grid just go home

I'm a bit excited to watch the opening round

Seems like Marquez has been pulling a flanker busting the track record apart with Lorenzo right up there too!!

The Dr needs some medicine methinks! 1.7 off the pace in FP2 apparently the front tyre was Donald Ducked on one side for no apparent reason!

yeah but he rarely qualifies well. Let's hope that's this weekend's bad luck out the way .. better a duff tyre in free practice than the race

Have to agree, he is a bit full of himself and if you ask him something you get one answer.. that's it, short and sharp.

(something to do with my chosen profession....!)

He did take a bit of a flight yesterday though!

I just hope that it doesn't get spoilt by the politics of certain additions to the Ducatis swinging arm!

It would be a complete bummer to have the result overturned after such a close finish!
