Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Looks like we're in for a vintage season if these opening laps are anything to go by.

I'm sure I just saw Dovi's on board flash up as 353 kmph

Could be a good 4 way scrap at the end.

I see Ducati nicked the Kwak's H2R side wings

They have had them on the duke before.

Turning into a classic this race

Great to see Ducati up at the front

The Ducati is a rocket ship

It is bloody fast, but look at the hunger of Vale

How good was that

Awesome race and looks to be a cracker of a season in the making.

A certain somebody going for title number ten and the Ducati back in the mix

Great to see. 36 years young and at his very best.

Yamaha and Ducati at the front. Great stuff for those of us watching it. Honda won't take that lying down.

What an epic race that was!
Vale

that.was.amazing.

My God what a race....

Those ducati's are something else. Acceleration, top speed, braking, turn in, a pair of damn good riders, and they can last the distance. It's been a while since we've seen that kind of package in red..

Good result for the Brits too.

This is really looking like an edge of the seat season..

Marquez rode very well apart from the one mistake which screwed up his whole race. Dead last to 5th is a very good effort

Brilliant racing and not a single Spaniard on the podium all day.

Had my alarm set for 3am to watch it but feel straight back to sleep. Will have to see hen its replayed. Sounds like it was a good race.

Finally Got to see the highlights at least, been trying to avoid any info on it until I watched, fat chance!
ITV 4 at 6pm today yeah cracking race, I refuse to buy a whole new package just to watch it, so I suppose highlights will have to do. I do miss all the other races and the build up though, all the stuff I managed to watch on Eurosport.

Congrats to Valentino and he rode a good race in a good race but it just makes me wonder how he wouldve got on if Marquez hadnt been squeezed out at the start

Yes it appears Honda didnt have the straight line speed but I still feel Marquez would have gapped the leading group of 4
