The Honda doesn't look right at the moment and even Marquez is struggling with it. The Ducatis could outpace it in a straight line and i suspect but for his dislocated shoulder Iannone might have finished ahead of Marquez.

Be interesting to see how Marquez copes with struggling a bit over the coming races.

Rossi looks to be riding as well as he ever has and with Lorenzo regaining his mojo it could be a very close season.

That Honda was bouncing all over the place. It didn't look good at all.

Smith seemed to enjoy himself.

Lorenzo is best when he's leading.

Bloody missed it, my internet has packed up. Brad seems to have done well only 1.3 seconds behind Marquez, what happened to Cal?

He fell off...again. Lost the front whilst chasing Bradley and Marquez.

Cal arrived into that corner slightly too quick and was forced to trail brake deeper which caused the front to wash out on the brakes. I replayed it back a few times and the bike was hopping the corner immediately before like Marquez's rcv s which caused the slightly higher entry speed. Maybe the Honda's were just not working at Leman.

And that was a week after dislocating his shoulder.

He is very much coming of age as a racer IMO. He was always fast but crashed a lot. Ducati obviously saw his raw speed and have nutured his talent into the front runner he is today.
