At least Crazy Joe didn't do too bad.

Great opening laps, and too bad about that pass from Bradl on Rossi... not sure if he would have podiumed but it might have been close.

And damn... MM is just crazy right now.  I wonder if there is anything beside injury that is going to make this season a bit more interesting in terms of points.

No longer guessing podium position #1 anymore. 
Was hoping for Rossi to be on podium. I hope he keeps fighting.
Moto3 was just awesome!!  Fenati I thought would be penalized for the last corner last lap contact on miller.

+1 to all of the above.

I got real tired of seeing the Stoner parade but haven't yet grown weary of watching the kid spank the entire field.

It pissed me off in Moto 2 but now I can't help but have utmost respect  bow down

Good goin' Crazy Joe! He's showing some real potential

I only like Pedro when he passes Lorenzo on the penultimate lap  chug

The more I think about today race, the more it looks strange.
Clearly Lorenzo was The Cork, and Repsol's Honda had at least 0.5s/lap on him. Rossi was on Lorenzo's times.
Granted, Marquez kind of played with him today, but why wasn't Pedrosa closing on Marquez, why he was on the back of The Cork?
Pedrosa got The Cork in two laps, after Marquez took off, which suggests he could have gone much closer to Marquez.
Team orders?

Pedrosa didn't start off well. He got caught up in traffic

I don't think any orders are needed for Marquez to win

i didn't think that move was what they were trying to make of it and the replays made it even look less so.

last lap, last corner, and he want for the hole and nobody crashed.

that said, fenati was given a point for "irresponsible riding causing danger to other competitors," so there's his warning.

The first few laps looked almost like Moto2. I won't go as far as saying they were Moto3 like, because there wasn't that much rubbin. Bradl pushed Rossi off, but he was not on pace to keep up with the Hondas. I would not count out Lorenzo just yet. As we get into the European rounds, we should see the Yamahas get closer.

Marquez is the man. Bad start, and still schooled everyone. Hopfully JLo and the rest can get him back once they return to Europe...looking right now like the only one that may be able to beat him is himself though.

I don't necessarily agree. I just think he gets up to speed on unknown tracks quicker than the rest. The older guys should make it more interesting in the next few rounds.

Dunno bro...He's the first rider in a while that has won from seventh place after the start.

All the 'players' have ridden at Quatar and Austin and he rode away from them.

With relative ease  bow down

If MM stays healthy, I don't think anyone stands a chance. He's more dominant right now than Stoner was in 2011.

2013 Jerez:

Pedrosa 1st
MM - 2.5 seconds behind
Lorenzo - 5 seconds behind Pedrosa

27 lap race

Pedro's going to have to be totally on his game to beat MM.
