| I must admit I was suprised at the outcome of the first round of the Moto GP, thats not to say that I did not think Rossi could win, but I did expect him to be battling for the win with more than one Honda. maybe the next round will be more of what I expected, With Rossi mixing it with 4 or 5 Hondas and hopefully a Ducati or two. I will be interested to see where the 2nd Yamaha finishes as this will show how well the bike is improving, I would like to see Abe benifit from Rossi's input into the Yamaha as I think he still has the potential to run at the front. And if anybody thinks that if Rossi was to depart the scene then Biaggi would be out in front on is own, have obviously forgotton the proven capabilites of Caparossi, Barros and Gibernau.
As for the overtake, perfectly fair in my book, I've seen a lot worse in my 6 years of club racing.
