MotoGP 21

First practice day at Qatar. Marc Marquez still out with last summers arm injury. He must have really mucked that arm up!

Pol Espargaro riding the Beast alongside MM.

A pity that running at COTA may not happen again this year.

Year 26 for the Doctor. The ironman of MotoGP.

Yup, they are reigniting my interest in MotoGP. I’m especially interested in how Cameron performs. He seems like a savvy rider, not prone to stupid mistakes.

If he can recover, imagine how Marquez would feel waiting for the red lights to go out. Thump thump thump. As "Delaney" said: "It can happen. Then it can happen again".

I wish Dovi would have been given the chance to throw a leg over the Repsol-Hondas.

3 questions

Will Marc Marquez ever get that arm fixed? Will Rossi ever podium again? Where are my glasses?

"Will Markey Marquez ever get his mojo back? Kinda looks like he and Rossi are over the hill and far far away.
IMO, Hope I'm wrong"

MM's injury must have been far more serious than released. It seems to me that his strength is way down and that affects his confidence.

IMHO Rossi is done this year. Did you see his Mugello helmet? He has a cow painted on it...is he telling us he's going out to pasture?

Wow these track limit violations sure are harsh. Why punish a rider on the last lap for going wide when doing so costs them time? Roberts got bit hard.

The weird incident on the starting grid sure was out there - easily could have been much worse.

Sure was but the rider behind should not have been that close.

That's awful about Jason...I read that he had to avoid a downed rider/bike which caused him to crash from losing traction on painted surface. If that's true then why don't they use rough textured paint?
