Think he's missing the first round. Bradl is doing Qatar.

Certainly no Marquez, he’s arms OK’ish but sure as hell ain’t good enough to crash with....i’m Intrigued to see how this new Ducati runs, its an incredible thing to look at.

First two rounds, i.e. both Quatars.
That means playing catch-up.
 
And the youngsters are getting really quite good. I think he may have a fight on his hands.
I also hope Rossi can sneak a podium or two - but it's a bit of a long shot because of said young'uns.

It's going to be interesting.

Looking at it won't make it win  :-X

As one of the first (if not the very first) to introduce winglets, they deserve to lose   :adolf:

Just had a look at BT sport.
Looks like all or most of the 2020 GP's are being shown through the night.
And seven hours of it tomorrow. ;D ;D ;D

New Ducati is apparently incredibly fast on take off.  1.9s according to M. Laverty and more stable through corners, which is a revelation.  Looking forward to the catch up, good that top flight racing is back.  Marquez has been banned from riding this race by team.  They want to be sure he is okay before letting him lose.

Your right but reports of what’s under the bonnet will make interesting viewing, had a very busy day yesterday from painting garden fences/15 mile mountain bike ride and 20 miles riding round the block on the KTM, but today is feet up and TV on at 10.30am  ;D

Three pairs of brothers in MotoGP this year, a bit of rivalry there.

I think I will be following Moto2 more this year, we have a good chance of a champion, and if Jake does well will he get Rossi's bike next year?

And what's happened with the Aprilia? Looks like its been left by the fire and melted!

I like the Aprilia. I do hope it can crawl up the ranking a bit this year.

On the plus side, it did beat two of the four Hondas last year - or three if you count Marquez.  :o

turned on with enthusiasm and soon got bore by the motormouth Gavin ? prattling on about anything and everything and talking over the others and then they got to talking over each other, It bored me silly, I didn't realise how good Keith Huen was until now. Even tried to put subtitles on but wasn't working. Can we have Toby Moody back and his American expert please. I wonder what it will be like with the sound off. And by the way Gavin I do know Rossi is 42.
