Lol, where did the Yam's pace come from. Great to see them up front, and good to think maybe we will see a competitive Ducati again.

Cracking start to the 2015 opener, I knew the Yams would be in the mix at the end with Valentino knocking on the door for the win but what I wasn't expecting was the pace of the Ducati's. Nice to see they've employed the right man for the job and they have a competitive bike now, will be interesting to see how it stacks up against the works Honda's and the Yamaha's on a level playing field. Can't wait for Texas in two weeks.

Looks like Pedrosa might be throwing the towel in, arm pump issues still not resolved after surgery x2.

So . . . Who would fill his (small) boots.

The obvious rumour doing the rounds is Casey Stoner as he's still Honda's test rider and getting into shape for Suzuka 8 hour also with Honda.

Can't see it myself.

unlucky for pedrosa but he has always been a china doll normally a collar bone which probably contributes to his arm pump something not set quite right and that trapped nerve causing the arm pump

bet johnny rae kicking him self he left for Kawasaki now probably would have been his if he suffered with ten kate again

Why would he want to? It'd take years to get back to form, if he could ever get back to his best would it even be good enough to beat Marquez...?

No, it wouldn't take years. Maybe people look at Baylis recent return at a couple of WSB rounds and draw similar comparisons, or seem to think that He has been a long time retired, but he has only been retired for a couple of years, although his retirement does involve him being a Honda test rider, and he has ridden the RCV this year, so it is not like he has forgotten how to ride it.

Whether he could beat Marquez though, I don't know. Marquez is just crazy.

Why would he want to? Well, he said he just wanted to have fun.
