Moto GP Race 1 over
I won't spoil things other then to say Baylis, Edwards and Hayden may not be the best in the world according to some. But they are certainly better then many of their critics!!
Kenny Roberts Jr. has been quoted that none of three would be competitive in on the Moto GP circuit. One race does not make a season, but right now the three are certainly better then Mr. Roberts! And for that matter a large number of others!
Guys like Barros, Roberts, Hopkins, Nakano, Checa, McCoy, Yanagawa and Haga all can say they got beat by the Superbike boys!
Oh yeah how's a podium finish sound for Ducati right out of the gate?!

the ducati's ran a 203 & a 200mph last week on a closed circuit in testing
dang good speed for a "duc"........
good to see the guys from the states doing well
learning the courses & getting set-ups will make a big difference this year
all of the manufacturers are doing all they can do !!
it is early in the season..... all teams have been testing extensively
they all are well aware what they do will have an impact in the showrooms
going to be a good yar for racing

Sadly Kato is on life support and in a coma. A really bad crash for him.
From AMA Superbike.com
"One week before the Grand Prix Daijiro Katoh's wife gave him a new baby girl, the couple's second child. Today it is uncertain if she will grow up with or without her father." Let's hope she has a chance to argue with dad for years.
