So what do you reckon then ?

Track looks awesome
Crutchlow needs some toy to fully compete.
Marquez, new blood
good season ahead????????

Not such a great race but what a talent ? I suppose it makes perfect sense turning your bike on your knees and elbows - must try it sometime

Great ride from Cal, one minor mistake but recovered well - great for his confidence.

Gonna be a great season, just what the sport needed.

COTA looks an amazing place = very "european" .....

Shame that once again the Hondas clearly have such superior straightline speed ...... I think the result might have been different if Lorenzo (and even Cal) was actually able to race on equal terms?

Erm well yes but as soon as we get to a more technical/twisty track that suits the Yam............. Lorenzo on Pole then runs away with it, like in Qatar :/
At least this race if someone made a mistake the others were close enough that it would cost dearly. Some good scraps along the way

I'll be interested to see what Europe brings, and what Yamaha do for Crutchlow? If they pull their fingers out Cal could be up for a few podiums this year, otherwise its going to be a year of 4ths and 5ths, depending on what Rossi does.

By the way, did anyone else hear about Rossi test driving a NASCAR car this week? There are a few rumours floating around Twitter in the last 12hrs or so, probably doesn't mean a thing but maybe Cal could be on a factory ride next year??

Publicity for Monster, nothing more ?

My money's on a Rossi win in Jerez
