But can he maintain it for the whole race? VR46 was always a strong finisher all of last season, but struggled with a full tank of fuel, so hard to tell if he’s all mojoed or not, have to wait and see in Qatar. If he can mix it with Lorenzo and Marquez early on then we are in for some fantastic racing.
good to see Cal finish above both Tech 3 bikes, must make the move taste a bit sweeter.
Great race with some good overtakes. Rossi has his mojo again. Marquez is a rather harsh overtaker though… don’t give him a mm or you nose gets chopped off.
Personally i don’t think he ever lost it, I think Marquez (and to a certain extent Pedrosa and Lorenzo) have just stepped up and shown there is more than just 1 amazing rider in the paddock. This weeks race was a good one, what an amazing set of moves that see the lead change between 3 different riders in the space of 2 corners!!
I won’t say any more to avoid spoiling it for anyone watching it tonight
So the first half dozen or so laps being absolutely superb don’t count?
Or seeing almost everyone’s shear enjoyment at the finish?
Some people’s joy is just infectious.
What did you do, take Mogadon before you watched it?
Naaah. Feck after the spill. My wife and I were cheering Rossi on the whole race, bugger the fact that Marquez could not keep up. Rossi went for it and WON!!! Yes, we are supporters.
