RE: MotoGP Argentina this weekend ***spoiler alert***
Well done Yamaha! ViƱales rode a textbook race after Marquez departed so inelegantly. Pedrosa took an identical route out of the race. A fine performance by Cal Crutchlow, even if he couldn't keep Rossi at bay in the end. And Johann Zarco again showed that he will be a force to be reckoned with. Marquez will have to perform in Austin if he's to be a championship contender this year.

Definitly some good racing. Too bad about the Honda boys.. Marquez had a heck of a lead and threw it away and Pedrosa had just set the fastest lap and threw it away. Vinales is a force to be reckoned with . Wonder how long the Yamaha garage will be tranquil lol. Zarco, Folger both looked good.

Poor Lorenzo lol

Oh yea, I loved the announcer's line when Lorenzo was walking back... " Lorenzo looks like he just won the lottery, but lost the ticket".

I'll bet Lorenzo is ruing the day he inked that Ducati contract.

Great race and Marquez would have been passed by Vinales I think even if he had kept the Honda upright.

I think you might be right, redbirds. I also hope Lorenzo is able to sort out the Ducati. They seem so fast and competitive on some days and with other riders that you can't just blame the bike. I wonder whether he just hasn't got the hang of it yet.

To me, Lorenzo seems a poor fit for the Ducati. His smooth riding style was rewarded by the high cornering speed of the Yamaha and this allowed him to start from the first row most times. On the Ducati, starting from mid-pack is now his norm and that's a place he's never done well from even on a Yamaha. Like you, I hope he can adapt to his new ride and be competitive once more.
