Motogp SPOILER!

What no comments on the race? Jorge was on fire and lost the front riding in all that sand? dam the bad luck...as one of my old redneck friends used to say. Boooriiiing, then the other front runner lost the front in the sand? at least Rossi rode a smooth flawless ride and came up from the pack to put a little pressure on the KID, Marquez. Marquez sliding a lot!, Rossi very smooth as the Yam likes to be ridden I guess. I think I will watch the last 3 laps again as I have it on my DVR still. Boy I miss the old days when you could RECORD/TAPE these events and watch them with your buds at a later date with some beers. I am looking forward to when WSBK.com gets on with some vintage archives, then I will spend some money with them!

You think Marquez was playing with Rossi? I enjoyed the race myself. We DVR and watch at a later date. Sand, what sand.

If you look at the tires when they were at the end of the main straight you could see the dirt build up on the unused portion of the tire. They were all tip toeing around the track. it was a little more obvious on the Moto2 race today.

Playing with Rossi? no I don't think I said that, still a bit boring. It appeared to me Marquez was racing hard. The last four laps were good, the race was alright imo, some of the fastest guys crashed out. In the end it was just a race between Rossi and Marquez, that's a good race. A race between Rossi, Marquez, Lorenzo, Pedrosa, the Tech3 guys and Stefan Bradl would have been a great race!

Sand in Qatar? noooo, I can't imagine that? Do you know where Qatar is?....well, it is in the sand...giggle giggle, yes, sand as far as you can see. Qatar is like the shuffle board court of motorcycle racing lol. ahhh, you might not get that reference if your not from florida lol, google it.

should be an interesting season with some of the 2nd tier bikes at pointy end

The kid actually showed a lot of poise considering Rossi was all over him for 1/2 the race, even some of the best can be made to make a mistake under that kind of pressure. I'm now officially on the Marquez band wagon, he reminds me of King Kenny.

[Badass]

Your only now getting on board with the new kid!? lol, just kidding.

If you think Qatar was boring, wait until the season wears on.

Marquez spends way too much time out on the edge. He's going to have a big one eventually. Hopefully it won't hurt too bad. He needs to learn like Lorenzo how to click off those laps at exactly the time needed to stay out front and nothing more.

Possibility he rides the Honda the way it need's to be rode to go quick. More power than the Yamaha, a bit cammy and likes the fat part of the tire. In a sence, the corners are squared off by sliding into them, straightens up and off we go. This give a sense of the following rider closing the gap, but, only for an instance.

That's exactly the reason I stopped watching motoGP and F1...boring riders, boring racing. I want to see guys ride the wheels off the bikes, not JUST safely win.

They are riding the wheels off if you haven't noticed.

You thought that race was boring? I thought it was great. Qatar has not produced fantastic races in the past but this one went almost all the way to the wire. Marquez said his last lap was the fastest he had ever done around there.

With Rossi looking to be back on form it could be an excellent year. I'd like to see more of Rossi vs Marquez, with neither willing to let the other win.

Nope, hadn't noticed. Just like F1, other than a nice slide here or there they look like my trip to the grocery store...minus the people flipping me off

I honestly haven't watched enough in the last 25 years to make an informed opinion, but when I have watched it was simply boring. I've never really cheered for a marque, always for a rider/driver. Personality and the desire to win at any cost is what attracts me. Many haven't been winners because of this, but the ones who are are usually spectacular.

I'm going to make an effort to watch closely this season.

Yeah you are right it was a pretty good race but a bit of a follow the leader with some passes, I just like a little more action like the old days. I just feel that if the faster qualifiers were still in it, it would have been much better. Awesome track but a bit to sandy I think.
