Final week of pre-season testing in Qatar. Above: Pedrosa, Below: Rossi.
After a crazy off-season, Moto GP will finally swing back into action this weekend. I know that everyone is talking about the NCAA tourney. But since Majeris left Utah, the team has kind of sucked and my interest in college hoops has waned significantly. I didn’t even do a bracket this year.
So, back to GP– I’m really excited because Rossi in on a Ducati this year. After all of the Qatar tests, it seems like the Repsol Hondas might be the fastest bikes this year, with Stoner now piloting one of them. Spies now has a factory bike, after landing several podiums last year on a Suzuki privateer bike. These are all very exciting things. If I would have been thinking straight, I would have planned our Europe trip to hit one of the races. Instead, we will be there right after the Le Mans race, and right before Catalunya. Such a bummer. Anyway, I’m pretty amped to watch some GP this weekend.

This might be one of the best MotoGP seasons since the days of Freddie Spencer and Kenny Roberts. If you can’t make it to Europe for a race, the Indy MotoGP is a great weekend with flat track races at the fair ground on Saturday night. Honda, Ducati and Yamaha should all have a great season, great bikes and great riders.
@Bob: So much good stuff going on this year, right? I may have to check out Indy. I have wanted to, since they started racing there again. If I do, I’ll definitely hit you up ahead of time to get some insider info.
