Number 36 might be the only rider keen to jump on a Yamaha next season. What a horrible (and oh so Honda) start to the year for him. Here's hoping he at least makes it to the final race with his body intact. Seeing the way Marc tames that way too wild machine makes me a bit sad that we'll probably never see him on another bike.

How many years now has that Honda been chewing up able-bodied riders and spitting them out broken? I know that Rins and Mir didn't really have a choice if they wanted to continue in MotoGP. I think that Nakagami's less than stellar overall results should be balanced against the fact that he has managed to keep his body (mostly) unbroken. Here's hoping Rins can manage the same feat with better results, he's always been a bit of a crasher so maybe he comes a little more prepared.

Congratulations to the  Money VR46 team! I should have picked Bez for my independent rider.

First two Ducatis at the finish at COTA; Bez and Luca Marini. Best factory desmo finish was 11th place for Pirro.

It is pleasing to see three different bikes in the top four. Ducati not having it all their own way.

The season starts in two weeks time at Jerez. The prelude is over.

I am not sure that the value allocated to the Sprints is appropriate.

Binder's inspired Sprint win is worth only two points more than Miller's solid sixth place in the GP. More questionably Binder also still had to start from way down the back in the GP, unlike the WSBK arrangements.

I feel sorry for the non listed Bastianni and PEspargaro both injured, absent and on zero .

I had been thinking about that too, but I do wonder whether the Ezpeletas think it might just be too much chaos if that 12 lap rolling brawl was for full points. Certainly the riders are earning those points (in a different way to those earned in the feature race), but would even higher carnage break the manufacturers (and mechanics)?

The points for Sprint seem about right but I wonder whether Sprint results should feed into qualifying for the GP.

The qualifying format is a good spectacle but it only measures one lap pace which is far more relevant to the Sprint race than the GP. Currently qualifying potentially has a huge impact on both the Sprint and the GP.

The half distance Sprint race should be a better indicator of full length race pace than a one lap flyer.and a reward for a good Sprint race could be the points plus a good starting place in the GP. The Binder situation is probably going to be a one off as I can't see others doing so well in the sprint race after such poor qualifying. However Binder might have been able to avoid the early race contact that ruined his GP if his starting position was higher as a result of his good Sprint performance. .

Personally i wouldn't touch the qualifying format, it makes friday very important.  Points are ok for sprint race.  Clearly it takes less 'skill' to win a sprint than a GP and the points should reflect this.  A rider doesn't have to get ideal set-up, worry about riding with a full fuel tank, worry too much about tyres going off, and to a degree racecraft goes out the window.

FB is still the favourite for the title but it would be great if Bezzecchi could keep him honest.  I was gutted when Bastiani was taken out, thought he would be the one to take take the title fight to FB.  MM & FQ are still the best riders on the grid but their bikes are not good enough to mount a title challenge.

Everyone was questioning the pace the of KTM's after testing. Looked a bit lost. Now after two race weekends, the bikes look to be very competitive, and already a race winner. Good to see them getting a return on their steady investment. Credit for this I think goes to the Duc guys KTM hired, and to Jack Miller who has always been a good development rider. Fully believe Pecco's title run last year had a lot to do with Miller's calm influence in the Duc garage. I forget which race it was last year, but Pecco was no where in early Q1. Pulled in, sat down and looked lost. Video captured Miller setting down with Pecco, asking him what he was feeling, then walking him through the corners where he was struggling. Pecco left the garage calmer and eventually qualified P1. All Miller's doing, no one else in the garage said a word. Tardozzi looked pissed. The rest exasperated. Pecco (and the Duc garage) are going to miss that this year. With host of fast Duc riders breathing down his neck, expect more mistakes from the champ. Binder and KTM the beneficiary this year. If Miller can school Binder to qualify better, the Sunday Man could be a title contender.

FB has already shown some weakness when it comes to big time pressure moments, but is very much Bipolar with it because he has also shown great resilience to it at times.

Ducati face a situation where not only will they all be stealing points off of one another at the pointy end, but they'll also be adding a lot pressure and that may be the undoing of their efforts, depending on how precious they are in response to it. Aprilia and KTM will cash in lots of points, and Marc will cause his fair share of pressure moments for them too.

The next half a dozen rounds will have some intrigue that's for sure.

About the predictions -

I was wondering where and when to see the motomutterers predictions we made before the season began?  This is my first time participating and I’m not sure how it works.  Thanks!

I am confused here. I thought the sprint race points did not count towards deciding the championship winner but apparently according to your title ("championship standing") they do. 

So at the end of the year we have 

 - the Championship winner (sprint + GP points)

 - the sprint champion

 - the GP champion.

Which is the most important / has the most prestige? Do we even care anymore?  Talk about replacing quality with quantity.  I feel this will be Ezpeleta's biggest cock-up ever which is a shame because the sprint racing IS exciting but devaluing your main product does not make good business sense.

WSBK race 3 times in a weekend but their race meetings are less frequent so there is more recovery time.

My concern with Motogp is given the frequency of races and with the addition of sprint races - the risk of injury has doubled and there isn't the recovery. Pol for example is already on the backfoot.

Even if you are considered a clean racer - it doesn't stop you being taken out by another rider. 

 

Sorry Enea Bastianini, it's all my fault.

I picked EB23 to win the championship. in the top5 plus Indi. So of corse Bastianini was torpedoed in the first sprint race, probably not going to Argentina. Maybe not COTA either.

That's racing.

We're all mostly focused on the Marc drama, and Pecco's win. But may I mention Maverick?

I never really liked him. I felt--and posted--that he was immature, the king of testing, always faded in the race, and was the poster child for self-centered, whiney, would-be stars when he rode for Yamaha. Could not get out of his own way and blamed everyone else for his problems. He would never be successful.

Well gee, maybe I was right about the immaturity, but I sure was wrong about success! 

Maverick has grown up, and I am really enjoying watching him race this season.
