MotoGP 2016
Posted: Sun Mar 13, 2016 11:41 am
Well we're a week away from the opening race at Qatar and while the testing results don't tend to mean much they are interesting. I'm particularly interested in Scott Redding on the Ducati and Maverick Vinales on the Suzuki, they've done well during all test days, being in the top 5. The usual suspects are up there with last years disputed champion Lorenzo turning in the fastest times.
I'm stoked for this season, I'd like to see some new stars break out possibly. After last seasons end I'm not sure I can cheer as enthusiastically for Marquez anymore as much as I like his riding style. I would like to see Suzuki make some big advances, another big player at the top would make the racing that much more interesting.
Lets hope it's another great season full of epic battles.
