The new, long-awaited MotoGP season has finally begun, and that means that our usual photo gallery featuring the most charming paddock girls
of the weekend is back too. There’s no doubt that Valentino Rossi’s
“resurrection” in Qatar had many fans jumping on their sofas in
excitement, and here is a nice collection of pictures that might get
your hearts pumping just as much. Well, maybe not ‘that’ much, but after
such a massive race this might be just the proverbial ‘icing on the cake‘ to close the Losail chapter and move on to the next one.
Speaking of which, the next MotoGP
round will take place in just a forthnight at the brand new ‘Circuit Of
The Americas’ (COTA) in Austin, Texas, where a few weeks ago Honda’s
Marc Marquez topped the timesheet in all of the three days of testing.
Not that there were that many teams there (just Repsol Honda, LCR Honda
and, for the first two days only, Yamaha Factory Racing) but that is
obviously a good omen for the talented 20 years old.
However, even though Marquez and
Pedrosa lapped considerably better than Rossi and Lorenzo on their first
test at the COTA, if there’s something that we’ve learnt (again) from
the Qatar GP is that being fast on one lap doesn’t mean anything if you
have no consistency and the bike doesn’t take proper care of the tyres,
so we just have to wait and see what will happen once there. One thing
we are already sure about is that there’s going to be more paddock girls
there, and we will report about that a couple of days after the race.
