Sportscar’s Jonny Cocker has a good point. Although MotoGP over the last couple of season’s hasn’t been the best – the race on the weekend was pretty decent.
Oh this is just insane!!! #MotoGP .. Motorsport take note, mechanical grip racing = EPIC racing!!

Though there were some awkward situtaions…
Hang on, did Rossi qualify behind a Ducati? Oops. #MotoGP
— Jared Earle (@jearle) April 6, 2013
In fact is seems Rossi really did love Ducati and had to have a ride before the weekend was out…

There was a new qualifying procedure and it seemed to gain support, especially from those that did well
‘The new qualifying sessions were brilliant’ – I’m sure many would agree with @aleixespargaro! #MotoGP

But it was Lorenzo who took out qualifying

The racing was tough, and Aussie rookie Bryan Starring felt it
Gutted with my race last night. I still can’t believe it. Few more tricks to motogp than what’s in the hand book. #longrace #unforgiving

These 3, and Pedrosa – I have a feeling we’ll be seeing a lot of them this year
