Lorenzo to go q1

Yep, so f1 in the afternoon, motogp in the wee hours

Sessions all delayed

Watching people sweeping the track all through the night

I don't like Qatar to be so late too.

Anyways, good ride by Adam noroddin to 10th place in moto3. Malaysians not doing so well in moto2. Waiting for motogp to start.

Start delayed

Rossi with a cameranhanging off his back. Yeah, Zarco could have been the surprise winner..Crutchlow still crashing twice

Rossi slowly catching but too slow. Loriz baz almost catching Lorenzo.good ride for the aprilia.

I was kinda surprised Marquez was losing time in the end. His tyres probably losing a lot of grip then but he was always able to stay with the leading group in previous races no matter what.

I won't say dominating, he faded towards the middle but made a comeback. Plus crashes for Zarco(who left everyone in the dust!) and Ianone who was fighting in the top 3. I'd say Dovi was the one consistently in the front without much mistakes(he wasn't that far off behind and was leading)

Cal Crutchlow GBR LCR Honda (RC213V) DNF

Yeah, weather was a trump card in the race. Zarco probably was a little inexperienced but he showed what he can do. I didn't get to see who ran into Rossi, I missed that shot.

I wonder how the camera shots look like dangling like that

Who knows, it's literally never before seen footage haha. Can't wait for the next race.

The tech3 2016 Yamaha seems very good to ride, even Rossi prefers it so i think not impossible for a Rookie to win especially if bad weather is a gamble.

Win title, I read win race lol.

True unless he's on a frontrunning factory bike and has a lot of luck. I agree MM is an extraordinary talent, next only to VR. Even tito Rabat struggled to adapt to motogp despite being very dominant in moto2.

Good riddance
