All round great racing. Good to see Pedrosa do well after some rather disappointing (for him) results in practice sessions.
Moto 3 race race produced some great battles. Very impressed by performances of young Italian Fenati and Aussia Sissis...

I've just about got down off the ceiling after the Moto2 race when the big class served up a treat, not to mention the promising Moto3 debut.
Great start to the season."Of course, what many people tend to forget is that Glen Richards was 2nd in the 1993 Australian 125cc championship" - Jack Burnicle on BSB at Snetterton, June 2008

Yes, indeed an interesting start to the season.
While there has been a big influx of young Spaniards into Moto championships, Fenati is finally a real Italian hope there. Especially with Rossi fading, future was looking a bit dark for them.
Moto2 was fantastic, 100% action throughout the race. Marquez proved his status as a title favourite despite missing winter testing due to injury! Although IMO his win this time is slightly tainted due to that controversial move on Lüthi...
In MotoGP Honda proved to be better in the race than in qualifying, all four Hondas were going better in race trim. Great scrap for Top3 positions, it has a potential to be a close season. Crutchlow had a good race too, let’s see, how he can keep it up for the rest of the season. Strong debut by Bradl, as mentioned above.
Rossi? Well, the stunning thing is that Ducati has tried to do everything to make Vale feel more comfortable since his arrival, but it has been getting worse... Also I have thought that actually Rossi has never seemed the same since his 2010 crash... Since his comeback he was mainly getting 3rd-4th places and after switching to Ducati Hayden has been almost matching him, now even beating.

I watched the race yesterday thinking it was live. D'oh! Great start to the year nonetheless - will be keeping an eye on those Tech 3 boys. They look fast

Keith Cronin just took a huge 18.2 sec out of both Devine & Edwards on SS4 ! Edwards says that's mental and Keith is a special talent.
