An awesome start to the moto gp season Pedrosa 2nd in his rookie race Hayden started strong but got dropped by the leading two .It looks like Honda are back in their stride again and looking to win a GP title again.Hayden developing the 800 cc for next year and looking good...

AWESOME IS ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THE 1ST RACE

 

Yep, it was nice to Rossi in the back of the pack. Sounds like Nicky is getting the bike situated well.

 

Rossi crashes in the first lap, Pedrosa gets 2nd and Hayden gets 3rd. Man, it is going to be an awsome season.

 

Not raining on the Honda Parade,

But it's waaay to early to discount Rossi just yet. Ducati had some heat last year, so expect some fight with them this year as well. Giberneau still has the curse for now... Dani will be the man to watch, although I'll still be pulling for the O'l 69r... still young of course. Maybe by race 7 or 8 then Rossi will be dealt with by the Honda Mafia... Rossi won 11 last year so its unfortunately waaay to early.
Of course I'd like to see the Respols take it all (having the Repsol scheme on my "Precious" of course), but any RC211V reigning King GP would be fine in my book!

Go Hayden, but watch out for Dani... 145KG weight restriction for the bikes, but having Dani on board shaves off some pounds compared to the rest... Can his weight hold traction? That's been proved...

If I recall the overall race times were almost 30 secs more this year than 2005? Hmmm.... I think I'll have to look at the stats again...

GOOOO!!!!!!!! HONDAAAAA... as opposed to Yamaha...

 

Never count Rossi out although it is going to be wild watching him play catchup when it comes to points.

 

Watched it. What a great race.

 

Id rather see Hayden win it, but Dani is my second choice.

 

I have to say I'm glad to see Honda up front. I am a big fan of Rossi even though he did sell out to Yamaha. I here it's rumored Rossi Might be racing cars after his contract is up with Yamaha.
