Going to be an interesting race after that qualifying ......... I still think Suzuki with Rins could have decent race pace despite being a little off in Qualifying

I have absolutely no idea now who'll win. But I can't see it being an Aprilia. I was going to add the caveat of, stranger things have happened, but not really sure they have. Unless we count KTMs first win.

I still think it'll be a Ducati, possibly Martin.

Well done to the Aprilia team! Cracking ride. Binder nearly did an upset though and is showing good pace again, but needs consistency.

Those 22 Ducatis are throwing some shapes. Pecco is in trouble for the race.

A 16 y/o on pole in moto2. Fastest in warm up too.

Bloody impressive.

Apparently 3 Motogp teams have been in touch for the future.

They said the youngest ever pole record will last forever as it's 18 year old limit next year in Moto2.
Wonder if they'll bring in an age limit in MotoGP?

That was tight and tough, bordering on out of order, but just inside!

Yeah, the lad did great.

If I'm honest, until this year I never thought him or the team had it in them

Get ride from Aleix really happy for him.

Pecco did much better in the race than I expected. Better from the Suzuki boys too.

bit less topsy turvy overall in the race with none of the real newbies hitting the pointy end this week.

But indeed, the season is turning into something interesting that's for sure.

I wouldn't even like to begin to predict a winner for next time out !
