Damn good racing, good to see Melandi back and so close to winning after a long absence. Mad Max Biaggi did the same thing. & claimed two titles, might Melandri do it?
Ducatis are impressive..but Team Kawasaki have really got the ZX10 superbikes dialed in, both chassis w cornering agility, and the impressive motor allowing V-twin esqe tourqe our of the corners on par w the twins and mega top speed..what a package. Rea just picked up right where he let off last year.
The Hondas just...sucked :smt005

If the racing stays like this it should be a great season, even the new 2017 grid shuffle seemed to work.

Supersport was a exellent race as well even w Sofogolu out the 1st 2 rounds due to injury. Good to see Roby Rolfo score a victory..hes been around forever and ridden just about everything. A great showing for the freshman Yamaha team as well, the new R-6 looks potent.
PJ Jacobsen...riding. For MV Augusta this year..appears to be riding slightly beyond his ability this year, just as he did last year on the Honda. His qualifying times are good, but at race distance hes got work to do.
