MOTO GP
Ok - so we've had 1 race & the questions (as I see them) are :-
1. Does anyone think that NH is gonna mount a successful defence to his No.1 plate - or anything close to it ?
2. Will Ducati's obvious speed advantage be a factor through the whole of the season ?
3. Has DP lost his bottle ? He didn't appear to even try to contest VR in the braking section at the end of the straight.
4. What happened to CE - his weekend was looking really good until the race ?
5. Can CS continue to stay rubber-side-down at enough races to be a contender ?
6. Will someone PLEASE investigate the capacity of Ducati's engine & fuel tank !!
7. Will peter Henry make a sudden return to these hallowed pages now that Ducati (if not DP) has put in good showing ?
All in all a very entertaining race - I have to say that I think that it's a bit too soon to start talking about a 'change to the natural order' as Toby & Julian did at the end of the race. After all, Losail is a track that CS likes & can ride well - he was on pole last year remember.
125cc
Can't believe that Bradley Smith or his team will be terribly happy with his 12th place - especially as his (rookie) team mate out qualified him & totally overshadowed him during the race.
250cc
Good start for Jorge Lorenzo - Brilliant start for Thomas Luthi - Alvaro Bautista - oooops !!
