I think you had to assume there'd be spoilers in a thread about Qatar.

I have never been a MotoGP watcher so this was one of my first races. Loved it (although Speed didn't have enough coverage).

I'm cheering for Spies this year and was pleased to see him finish so well. Kinda disappointed for Nicky but he did make him work for it.

Same here.

Draft or not the Hondas sure had the top speed on the Yammies and Ducs.

That was a fun race to watch. I agree with most of all what's already been said here...looked good under the lights...laughed at Stoner...happy for Hayden except for him not making the podium...Spies was very impressive...Rossi rocked...Lorenzo is fun to watch...the racing at the end was awesome !!

I watched WSBK too but with Spies gone I just wasn't as excited about it...but good racing no doubt.

There is no denying his ability....he is clearly dominant on the Ducati...a bike that no one else has come CLOSE to mastering to the degree that he has.

It's his off the track demeanor that is obnoxious....always whining...always bitching....always making excuses....Casey "Moaner" is just a PERFECT nickname for him.

True...I've owned a couple of Kaw's.

Spies being on an R1 and American helped.

I wouldn't even mind seeing Haga win a title.

In the Aprilia Forum, we call him "Stacy Moaner".

I am relieved to see the change from 250s to 600s didnt slow the action or tempo of the riders. Those boys are balls out from the start to finish and dont seem to mind punting each other around a bit. Next best thing to SBK.

Glad Nicky put a move on Dovi on the last lap. Dovi beat him to the line but knows his engine saved his 3rd place and not talent.

Wonder if that ripping Honda powerplant will be good all season tho? Will just 6 be enough?
