Well, I for one am very excited about this years season after watching that superb first race. The new guy, Marc Marquez was awesome, that must be quite a thing to have Rossi as your hero growing up, then your first Moto GP race and your battling for second place with him.

Rossi's face in the paddock afterwards was fantastic, he just looked so happy to be battling at the front again.

Pedrosa must be wondering what the hell happened, tipped as a possible season winner and taken out by the his new rookie team mate.

And someone please give Cal a descent bike, he's clearing got winning potential.

Lorenzo just looked in a class of his own, again, but the battle between the other three for podiums this year is hopefully going to make the racing really exciting.

Bring it on!!!

Shouted at the telly lots last night! I love watching rossi race and last night was not exception! BALLS OF STEEL!

Watching Marquez back the bike into the corners was very eerie - Stoner Reincarnated?

We simply, have the gift of watching potentially a great season's racing. Lorenzo's Land looks a bit less solid than it did.
