Don't know if anyone managed to catch the racing, but it was a great start to the season.
Nice to see Marco Melandri back and he's already competitive on the Ducatti. I felt sorry for him when he raced for Aprillia a couple of years back, team orders ruined his season and then he was forced to move back to MoTo GP, where he didn't want to be.
Johny Ray and Chaz Davies are battling like it's the end of last season still
And there are lots of people showing potential.
Slow start for Nikki Hayden, but it's a new 'out of the box' Honda, hope it doesn't take too long for him to develop it into something that can challenge at the front.

Terrible news. I hope he recovers.

A bit more info.
Crazy thing is that you don't expect things like this to happen off track. With the amount of danger that they face every day, you would think that riding a bicycle would be one of the safest things to do.

Update on Nicky. He's still in a coma in critical condition. They say he has suffered brain damage....
He will never ride again, that's for sure. Right now just living through this is enough to hope for. Walking and talking would be a miracle.
This is so unfortunate. The next race broadcast should be interesting.
