Damn Ducati's are fast! Top speed 10+Km/h over the rest of the crowd 
Last year they started very well in the first races, but then had less results than one would have hoped by looking at the start of the season.

[Speeddog]

Fastest seven bikes made in Italy. 

[koko64]

Bodes well for Mugello, Catalunya and the Island too.

[Speeddog]

JLo's Yamaha 3rd from slowest.

Top speed may be over-rated. 

[HotIce]

Fastest seven bikes made in Italy. 

If we only could learn how to turn as well 

[lazylightnin717]

I'm trying to be excited about tomorrow's race. But anytime JLo is on ththe top step, I get a bit irritated.

We will see how it goes tomorrow.

My predictions..

1. JLo
2. Iannone
3. Rossi

MM crashes out.

Petrucci pulled out of the race

Didn't take long. It's gonna be a great season. And then there's MM and Rossi, and throw in Maverick and Crazy Andrew. Nutcase Andy seems like a top guy until you get him angry.
So if Vinales is Maverick, then Lorenzo would be Iceman.
