Aleix Espargaro for a podium I think. Winter testing proved surprising.

Yes, but equally surprising for Rossi too.

As good as it would be for Asparagus to get on the podium, do you think he will run the race quicker than at least 3 of, Rossi, Lorenzo, Marquez, Pedrosa or Bautista? As I think those are going to be top 5.

Don't think Asparagus will beat 3 of the above list

Marquez will come out and dust everyone. Or fall off, he's due for one of them about now.

Pedro, Rossi and Lorenslo to fight for a while until the Honda dominates again. I reckon they've kept a bit in reserve in testing and are going to unleash the beast.

All it takes is for one of them to run wide or to bump into each other mid corner.

Would be interesting to see as the season progresses how much of a benefit the engine development, extra fuel and softer rear tyre will offer the Open teams

Well that was a bit upside down, Lorenzo looking most unhappy. Asparagus A fastest by a lot, could be interesting.

Are the open class bikes using their special super soft tyres at Qatar?
They were saying they wouldn't last/work at all the tracks.

It's a night race so a lot cooler than in the day but not sure if it's cool enough, and don't know how abrasive the track surface is there

Held out as long as I could - but I knew that there was no way I could resist the attraction of 'live' GP! Crying or Very sad

Subscribed to the Moto GP website so I can stream it to my pc. Very Happy

Was dubious - (but desperate) Confused

WTF is going on? Factory bikes 5th / 11th?

Random pic of Bradl's front tyre asking for mercy.

Bit of a topsy-turvy start to proceedings. Could be fun.

Heavy rain has left the track like this.

Marbles everywhere and race control dictates that sweepers cannot be used.

[edit]
They've seen sense.

Track conditions look shit, should be interesting, wouldn't fancy being on a Moto3 never mind a Moto GP, 2 off already in first 5 minutes of Moto3.
