Here they all are. Well, the first three at least. The Gresini is my fave, which I was surprised by.

I like Zarco's Castrol livery and the Chesterfield(?) inspired Aprilia, but not so sure about a lot of the others. But I guess seeing them in action will be the real test.

[Yorick]

Not really keen on any of them.

[Tricky]

Loving both of the Honda schemes

Same.

Factory Ducati looks like they haven't bothered! Could have at least made a little effort.

They should have gone with a Mike Hailwood Replica paint job... Agree - it's a pretty half-hearted attempt.

Agree - it's a pretty half-hearted attempt.

Pretty much Bagnaia's first words at the reveal were something like 'we'd hoped it would look better but the sponsors wouldn't play ball'.

Sure, have brand guidelines but the goodwill you could achieve with fans is more valuable, I think.

Blimey. Some lap from Asparagus.

No idea, no one posts any times these days

The Sprint wasn't that great in itself. Awesome moves from Acosta on the second lap, a shame it hampered him for the rest of the race.

On the bright side it's tightened the championship right up.

[Sadlonelygit]

Is it me, or does#93 seem to be suffering from a lack of data. To go from a soft front to a hard on the grid seemed a bit of a hail Mary move.

The mini documentary on Acosta was very interesting. His bike training moves using cones are pretty damn special. He's pretty damn special and all.
