I'm looking forward to the season.

BTW MotoGP private tests no time was posted.

Then Zulfhami will be 2nd, still not too bad

He was the Moto3 Team Airasia rider, if he is consistent enough he could clinch the WSS title,that would be an international achievement by itself, he is aiming for a Moto2 ride. Motogp is a far cry but never say never. Although if joining MotoGP just to make the numbers is quite pointless.

It's RM100 per day iinm

It rained in the afternoon but times are pretty good. MotoGP posted 1:28s for the frontrunners on the final day. Zulfahmi looks like he is keeping the momentum up.

First race kicks off in Phillip Island this weekend. Can't wait.

Indeed looks nice

It's testing, Rossi said Marquez was sandbagging. He probably was too. We will see how it pans out in the first few races.

Yeah , he seems to struggle abit with the bike. He probably need to adapt a different riding style.

Spanish riders have been flourishing because of the CEV championship, it's a good training ground. Now the British just started doing similar thing with British Talent Cup after Asian Talent Championship showing some result. That's why we are seeing an increase in Asian riders in Moto3. It will take some time but we'll have good Asian and British riders coming in the future. We see SuperKIP already graduating to Moto2 this year after just 1 year in Moto3. It was pretty impressive to win 2 races in your debut year albeit he still has to find consistency and more experience in dry races.

Marco melandri riding quite well despite being away for awhile but the kawasaki is so fast

Actually leg waving started in wsbk, Rossi popularised it in motogp

Not sure but I remember seeing it during Colin Edwards/Aaron slight/troy corser era. I remember coz their numbers were 1,11 and 111 and usually running close together. No doubt Rossi was credited for it since his bang up with gibernau.

Except for Marquez and maybe Lorenzo, the rest to me is up to luck. To be a real champion imo you have to win all the championship in all classes

And the slowest Champion would be Emilio Alzamora, he won the 125cc championship without even winning a race
