Been really missing the racing but they're gonna cram them in thick and fast.

Petronas will be happy. The Q'man stuck it on pole again. Vinales is also looking smooth and fast.

What's the prediction for today?
I'll have MM, Morbidelli and Quat for top 3 in that order

Well that was action packed. Won't give the results away but don't think someone will be back next week or potentially for a while

I thought about this and I think he is riled. To finish first, first you have to finish.
The Frog has got to him.
MM is awesome, but he has to stay on

Docs said he might have radial nerve damage. Hope not mine left me with a non working hand for 9 months.

Pretty close mate.
Marquez is just epic to watch, although i'm not sure the other riders agree with some of his strong overtakes ! But they were firm rather than harsh this time
KTM had a decent day overall i thought.
FQ, well, what can you say, he's pretty darn impressive isn't he. I'm hoping yesterday gives him a bit of self belief too.

That's the thing with Marc anyone who doesn't believe he is the fastest/most gifted rider is mental. That's multiple times he's ended up at the back of the fastest riders in the world and carved past them like a fast group rider in the inters. But he is his own worst enemy. He can't reign himself in (and that's probably why he is so good). He had about 5 laps left and could have sat a while behind Mav and taken his time, or just taken 3rd as his tyres must have been pretty shot riding like that. But I reckon in his head he thought he could try and catch Fab and mess with his head by beating him from the back and it's bitten him hard. Just hope its a few weeks out and not career/season ending. It's probably put paid to a championship this season though.
Fab rode amazingly, so smooth, he make it looks effortless. Proper title contender this year hopefully. I'd love to see him win it, seems a really nice bloke too. Wins his first race and spends more time thinking of Covid victims and thanking his family/team than talking about himself.
Dovi was incredible as always. All the contract talks and injured and on race day pulls it off again. Without Marc he'd have more than 1 title, be interesting to know what the contract sticking points are. He's been the best rider in the world apart from the freak.
Great ride from Miller and Frankie. Oh and Bradders!
KTM did really well and Binder is looking great.
Pity about Suzuki though I really like seeing them at the sharp end.
Honda are in MASSIVE trouble. Their new bike is a pig again!!!! And they are all back on last years bike. That's been the case for years, can't believe they get it so wrong every time. And even worse only 1 person can ride the bloody thing and he's smashed himself up. Until Marc is back they'll be scrabbling for the odd point sad for the biggest company in the paddock. Cal is likely to be their best hope for this season and he's been fired

Hugely entertaining.
MM is something else and I hope the ridiculously talented dude is not out for the season,or worse. If so the big H are in the schitt,because there is no one in the current field who will win races,never mind championships. Cal will be the best Honda rider out there.
Such a shame for the wee McPhee,I really thought he was on for a podium at least.
Good result for Sam Lowes too.
I'm just finished watching it all,it's gonna be a busy season,especially when WSBK starts too. Feast or a famine!

Rins even more amazing. Dislocated and fractured his shoulder. He's riding.
Crutchlow only broke his scaphoid. Wuss
