2011 MotoGP Opener under the lights in Quatar
« on: March 16, 2011, 07:23:17 pm »
The season opener for the 2011 season begin this weekend in Quatar.  The season opener has been held at night under the lights the last couple of years.  Big news in the off season: Rossi to Ducati, Stoner to Honda and Honda has developed a dual clutch transmission for their bikes.  The Hondas have been blistering fast, and the Ducatis slow.  No feeling in the front end apparentl,m with an ability to wash out without warning.  Not good.

Predictions?  Honda runs away with this one..and possibly the Championship.  And if Rossi's shoulder continue to be an issue all year, this may be his last season.
How fast is my Supra?  I sh*t on Cessnas from a roll....
