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.

start from 10th position, still can be in podium.

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.

Rossi is comeback king ma

Still not putting hope on 10th title

It will be mark vs maverick "top gun" hahahaha

Didn't watch the race or quali. MV so dominating in Qatar? Rossi seems to be struggling a lot in practice sessions. Even during pre-season his times were not impressive. Gonna be tough for him to win another title if he consistently has to play catch-up during raceday.

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)

Back to being his usual Crashlow! Same with Iannone.
Unfortunate that Zarco also made a mistake but it maybe shows he was pushing just a bit too hard.

Anyway result as expected with MV winning but at least not dominating and good to see VR again came back & challenging after a nightmare testing and warm up. Dovi as expected also did well in this track while JL had a horrible race. MM said he made the wrong tires choice to follow switching to medium, he said he should've stay with the hard as it would suit his style more for this track (but he also said he might have crashed if he stayed on hards!).

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.
