So, who fills the seat at Yamaha?
I hope it's Vinales. That would be another story line as Rossi and him I believe are cool. Rossi has spoken highly of him in the past. Things will get interesting if he joins the team as Rossi is a savage competitor. I just hope it wont go the way of Marquez.

I would almost like to see Pedrosa on the Yamaha. There are so many options since contracts are expiring after this season.

word is Vinales. but anything is possible..

and Im no fan of Lorenzo but I'm also not doubting his talent .. i think he can win on the Ducati .. its already the fastest bike in a straight line .. former aprilla team manager and help from audi has improved these machines from a few years ago

it would be another thorn in Rossi's side if Lorenzo can go on the duc and win...something that he couldn't a few years back..

Would be great if Rossi could get one more Championship, but won't be easy. Last year was his chance until the whole Spain verses Italy thing got out of control in Malaysia....yes Rossi went a bit too wide but he didn't kick MM, MM turned into Rossi and knocked his own front brake lever which locked the front wheel, THATS why he went down!.

Anyway, looking forward to this season and maybe Stoner having a few rides.

Marquez unstoppable again on US soil..
Rossi Crashes
imo I don't think Rossi can compete with Marquez/Lorenzo this year .. he had that chance for the championship last year and pissed it away ... Im not doubting he's a legend and prob the best all time ... but age is not youth and i guess we will see when this season is over

I really wish Rossi would have gotten back on the bike and at least gained some points. Seems like Marquez is already primed to away with the championship.

I feel so bad for Dovi! That poor guy can't catch a break! I was sitting in turn 1 when it happened! It made my stomach drop. It was good to see how Dovi was such a good sport about it.

Any thoughts on the race? Seemed a bit boring to me. Poor Dovi can't buy a checkered flag!

Dovi is having such a rough start. I'm no Lorenzo fan but interested in seeing what he will do next year on the Duc. Race wasn't exciting but as a Rossi fan I enjoyed it. If Stoner could some how talk his wife into letting him race next season that'd be awesome. Not a Stoner fan either but that dude could ride. Got to respect the skills.

Lorenzo got Lorenzo'd!

Love seeing The Doctor on top with such a great start, a true 'master class performance', as Harris would say.

Yep a master class from The Doctor, Matt! Awesome!

Rossi said he's is really liking the change to Michelin tyres so let's hope he continues to take it to those Spainards.
Would love Stoner to make a come back.
