Another year and MotoGP is delivering great racing in all three classes. It seems so simple for them, but so hard for F1.

MotoGP it's like F1, just with 2 less wheels and 90% bullshit.

Yeah, but F1 cars in the flesh make me go WOW... MotoGP has great racing, but doesn't make me go wow when I go see em.

I still love their racing, but they each have their own purpose.

Was a great race in Qatar. Will be fascinating to see if anyone can challenge the perceived performance of Vinales. I'm sure he'll have trip ups along the way, and it was great to see Rossi right behind him. But I am concerned about the guys talking about the Doctor slimming down to some extreme... Great performance from Suzuki, shame about Zarko too, seemed to have something to work with but I haven't checked if he was on softs or something that were being used too rapidly.

On o the next one to find out some answers!!

It's the racing that makes you go wow. Not the machinery. It seems to be a vehicle too where a talent can shine more as performance matters but less critical than having the best aero package and engine power.

Watching 600cc racing around Winton was one of the best races I've seen because of the moves and it really added excitement. Bike racing seem raw, rough and ready compared too F1. That's what I like about it.

And watching races with my pop. I still remember watching a race in Australia and he telling me that this guy, Wayne Gardner will be world champion in a couple of years. He was right and my pop was a side car nutter back in the 20's and 30's. Compete at the Isle of Man or get married, what a choice to make :)
