cal crutchlow looking very good so far

 

[Katoom]

Yeah, cal looks much happier on this years spec bike/tires. Hope the season goes well for him, he's certainly showing his speed.

Overall it looks closer at the top which should be good.
Rossi looks like he'll do much better in the race than qualli.
Stoner doesn't look happy atm but will probably get pole.

Fingers crossed for an entertaining season.

[Katoom]

Cal's doing an awesome job.

Hope the race and the season stays this close at the top.

 

[poosemon]

Good see a brit in the top 3, reasonably close in time between top 3 aswell so will see how that translates in the race!

great ride from cal, looking good for the race tomorrow night

 

[Katoom]

Just hope Yamaha will give him the 'works' upgrades throughout the season.

 

[helpimcrap]

Go Cal! 3rd place start! If he can s****e a podium that would be awesome! Best finish for a British rider in motogp has been 4th which oddly enough i believe he did last time out...

 

[Draeger]

Don't want to speak too soon but I've got a good feeling about Cal's coming season. He's flying so far.

 

[helpimcrap]

lol @ s-c-r-a-p-e!

 

[ShakenNstirred]

Just hope Yamaha will give him the 'works' upgrades throughout the season.

thats will be a slow upgrade, 3-4 races behind the works team atleast
but atleast there not a year behind like last year with these new 1000cc bikes

 

[ShakenNstirred]

started raining in Qatar, should be dry for the race but a bit cooler temps than Quali

 

[englishpremier]

Oh awesome.

I don't fancy Cal to finish the race though.

 

[Lakeland]

Just realised this is on Eurosport, and with decent commentary too.

BBC coverage seems to be a bit thin, only a reply at nearly midnight tonight? Seems they dropped MotoGP and F1

 

[englishpremier]

Yeah BBC are a bit pathetic when it comes to motogp

 

[ShakenNstirred]

update
there is a 40% chance of rain at race time and they wont race in the rain at night
