Ducati still has the best opportunity for mid-season changes.

Their engines aren't frozen, and it seems Gigi has free reign.

Aprilia didn't get to where they were in SBK by accident.

It's gonna be a good season.

Let go of the hate. :-*

Going to be a great season.  MM still on another planet but if he makes poor starts like last year he will not simply blow by at will.
Look forward to the rest of the season.

Not sure about that Needles...

25th to 5th?

5th to first?

Depends on how bad the start is eh?

The first 20 are always the easiest to pass.  ;D

They actually are. At least 2/3 of them are nothing more than grid fillers, and all but a couple of the rest are on inferior equipment. Given the talent and equipment, what he did was pretty cool, but not all that impressive IMO. Getting a podium would have been impressive.

That said, he's still the man to beat for sure.

The Duc has destroyed all hope. I will not be convinced until they are consistently fighting for 1st.

+1

We need to see it perform at the European tracks. Qatar has been a Duc favorite. I'm optimistic though! Dovi sure looks revitalized as well, even over his HRC days.

Bah, I'm not going to be impressed until he passes those twenty on the first two turns of the race, like that kid did a couple of years ago in Moto2. What was his name again?

I count 12 passes by the time he hit the apex of turn 1.  Since that is a straightaway, I chock that up to 97% superior bike and 3% aggressive riding.

The level of machinery in moto2 is pretty even.

I chock that up to not using the brakes and going for it.

+1. At most give 5% to his bike since he was on a very good team. The rest is due to more throttle and less brakes! THAT was an impressive race!

I still recall him having some trouble passing Crazy Joe last season. I reckon those last 5 places will be tougher.
Going to very entertaining to watch.  [thumbsup]
