Qatar

can we see a picture of the so-called offending aero thingy?

It was almost a carbon copy of last years race, with MM content to follow Dovi round at a pace that them conserve their tyres for the 6 lap sprint at the end. Rins was an occasional bother for MM but I doubt he was too worried, the Suzuki doesn't have the horsepower to complete with Ducati and Honda at the moment, although it appears to be able to carry more corner speed. I've no doubt Rins will be on the podium a few times this year.

Honda have negated Ducati's top speed advantage.

Crutchlow did well to finish third.

Petrucci looked properly upset in the garage after the race.

Miller took to throwing bits of his bike at the opposition ( must have made for an interesting conversation with the mechanics..)

Felt gutted for Quartararo, looks like he may be a fly in the ointment for a few of the more established riders this year.

I hope its not going to be a season of last 6 lap tactical races, which is the way is was heading last year and we get some more old fashioned, gloves off, fairing bashing and overtaking of the good old days. Unlikely, but we can hope.

no he will be winning again. MM said flat out dovi beat him he was the faster guy. he said dovi beat me on the track

the protests are from the factories not the riders Aprilia, KTM, Honda and Suzuki teams.

Cool. Hes still a douche.

Gigi's psy-ops program is working, between the "hole shot" control handle on the triple tree, to the "aero devices" he has the competition worried and looking at the wrong ..... I love it.

can you tell me how you come to this conclusion? ducati is suppose to be better yet they won by less than they did last year. you had dovi. where are the rest of the ducatis? did they finish yet? pertuci miller anyone anyone? the best ducati rider besides dovi is in world superbike doing a great job.

dovi once again wont be close to winning this year we are already at level 8. finally i dont see marquez too worried. basically said my worst track is out of the way and we got 20 points.
