Lets see more of it. If only someone hadn't been run off track at the start I think we'd have had 4 or 5 of them in there at the end... I so hope the season go's the way it has today

Bit bummed out Lorenzo didn't manage to get away, those ducatis are way too fast compared

Those ducatis are blindingly fast. Although, Marquez set the top speed for the race.

Fixed for you

Marquez sets fastest ever recorded speed in MotoGP™ during the Commercial Bank Grand Prix of Qatar, 350.3kph (217.66mph) as he finishes 5th.

Dani Pedrosa set to sit out MotoGP races?
Repsol Honda rider Dani Pedrosa has dramatically announced only hours after finishing sixth in the opening MotoGP race of 2015 that he may be forced to sit out the next few rounds as he continues to battle a problem with arm pump.

The condition, caused by a build-up of blood in the muscles of the arm, has plagued the Spanish rider for most of 2014, causing a disappointing season for him. However the former world champion has up until now kept the severity of his condition under wraps – but with no sign of improvement on the horizon may be forced to sit out upcoming rounds of the series.

“This winter I travelled all over the world to get many opinions from many doctors, to try and see fi I could have a new surgery, to try something new and to be ready for this championship.

“Unfortunately, all the doctors recommended me not to have a surgery, because the risk of another operation in that arm. I tried to follow that advice and tried to work a lot in non-aggressive ways.

“This brings me back to the situation today – I knew I wasn’t feeling very well but I knew that there was no other option. Now that the race is over, I know that I cannot perform as I know I can, and I have to decide to find a way to solve this problem.”

The announcement by Pedrosa has already ignited speculation in the paddock as to potential replacements. Calendar clashes look set to rule out World Superbike riders like Michael van der Mark, but Honda have in the past promoted privateer riders onto factory machinery for injury replacement – which could see Cal Crutchlow in the running to take over

That was awesome, but given I had a bet for Vettel to win F1 and Dovi the Moto GP I was a bit gutted at the end! Had EW so still got 6/1, but the original 120/1 was much nicer!

Fantastic race, let's hope the whole season is that good!

Sadly for Dani I don't think he'll be back at all if he cant find a solution.

I know it won't happen but Casey Stoner would fit the bike... He is doing the Suzuka 8 hours for Honda later but thats a little different.

Loved the Moto3 race and a cracking dice in GP. Missed it all last year but very happy now I have BT broadband. Shame Yahoo news spoiled it for me by mentioning the winner in my news feed for the first time ever...
