Post by Dr. Pain »

Kicks off in Qatar this weekend. I am looking forward to this far more than F1.

Rossi signed a two year deal with Yamaha.

Jack Miller was the only one to go to the grid on slicks. The track was wet but drying. So everyone else went out on wets and made a last minute change. They all should have started from pit lane but due to safety they started them as far back as possible on the last grid slots.

But not to spoil the race, half a season of action was jammed into that 45 odd minutes. It was crazy!

Zarco signed with KTM for 2019. I thought for sure he'd end up with one of the big teams.

Tech 3 went to KTM, so he's not really signing for a new team, he's sticking with Tech 3.

Think I will have to watch this one on FOXTEL replay.
I must admit since Stoner retired & without any Aussie riders up front, I haven't watched much MotoGP... :(

Lorenzo is replacing Pedrosa at Honda next year, with Petrucci taking the Ducati seat.
