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.

Wimps

it because of the strong flood lights and the refections on the wet track
its nothing to do with them being wimps, if you know about the sport you know there far from it.
and you saying that shows your not a true fan of the sport

Yes and? There are reflections from the floodlights just like as when i'm riding there are cars with badly adjusted HID lights, there's heavy rain and sometimes snow.

Why don't they just ride according to the conditions? No-ones saying they must go 220mph, they have the ability to ride slower.

When it comes down in Qatar more often that not it does really poor, but if it's light rain or damp, they really ought to race imo.

EDIT: The moto 3 warm up, so all is good at the moment

if it was just damp then they will run, its more about standing water and the lights..
but back in 09 it rained that much that the race had to be run on the monday
instead..
anyway its dry so all is good

honda/yamaha wouldn't be able to have a say in it really leased bikes don't really have stipulations on who can ride them, thats more a sponsor thing surely

yam or Honda don't just lease the bike to anyone with the money
they do look at the team and the rider combo before deciding yes or no
they wouldn't want Rossi maybe beating them on a customer bike.
