[the-evaluator]

Vinales is the man to watch this year. Here's hoping for a good season.

 

[ShakenNstirred]

KTM MotoGP 2017 bike

 

[englishpremier]

Looking forward to seeing the KTM in action proper. That engine is beastly.

 

[ShakenNstirred]

Ducati's new wing setup.
Ban them totally if this is the result, hideous

Honda's effort isn't much better

I thought the same, we are showing our age

 

[ShakenNstirred]

I thought the same, we are showing our age

hahaha yes we are

 

[mrgubby]

I'm fairly certain my mate had that Ducati fairing on his AP50 !

 

[deuse]

Testing today starts at 3pm can't wait

 

[Mark365]

Blistering pace set by Vinales. No doubt about it he will be right up there this season. Very interesting times at Ducati. I honestly think Lorenzo has timed his switch to Ducati to absolute perfection. All shaping up to be a belter of a season.

 

[ShakenNstirred]

 

[chris4652009]

Gutted for Cal

 

[Fireskull]

Good first race, gutted for Folger but I would have bet money he was going to crash, they always do, but was good to see someone else pushing at the front
