New MotoGP Season

Posted by: Nigel 66 on 23 March 2016

Dear Forum

So the new GP season has started, and whilst the 1st race wasn't the most exciting (I don't think that the Qatar round ever is), it did hint at what could be a good season.

Rossi has signed a new 2 year contract so he should be 'relaxed' and ready to race; Ducati has started strongly again, so it'll be interesting to see if they can be more consistent this year; Lorenzo has started well with a back to back win; Marquez was strong and his usual 'happy' self despite the Honda not performing that well; not sure what happened to Pedrosa again - he can't have too much goodwill left at Honda?

Looking forward to some better races at the more interesting tracks as the season progresses.

Time to get the 'Blade serviced and out of the garage.

Here's hoping that the season is a good one!

Best wishes

Nigel

Didn't even know it had started. Clearly Australia got more press!

Argentina today. Will be interesting to see if the others can stay with Marquez at this circuit.

Its going to be a very interesting race as Michelin have withdrawn the tyres from all previous sessions and brought in a brand new hard tyre and now it looks like a wet race . Marquez or Rossi for me .

Blimey, an interesting race at the end. Shame they had to change bikes in the middle, as it would've been more of a battle between Marquez & Rossi without the stop.

I wouldn't like to be in the Ducati de-brief though!

Well done Laverty as well.
