This SX season has been a good one, but it is hard to beat MotoGP races like yesterday's race. Dovi and Marquez battle to the end. Crutchlow looked good and the Suzuki's look like they may have something for Ducati and Honda this year. Yamaha is still struggling with front grip early and rear grip late. KTM looks slow, Aprillia looks better this season.
It's going to be a fun summer with Webb and Tomac in the dirt and Marquez and Dovi on pavement.
Lets not forget Herlings and wherever he ends up.

Yamaha are in shit. They are down on power as well as the mentioned (late) rear grip.
But it was a fantastic start to the season! Suzuki is the real deal, Ducati looks good, Quartararo with an amazing weekend (except the result but that doesn't matter, he is a rookie), Honda is matching Ducati in the top speed department (bad news for Yamaha), Yamaha is yet again the easiest bike to ride but lack something if you want to win etc.
The biggest minus goes to KTM, they have problems. But the good thing is that they have 4 bikes on the track now which equals more data (but you have to do something good with it too).
MotoGP, the best racing on the planet.

What's ironic is that, despite having five bikes stacked within 6/10 at the finish, lots of races have been -- and yet will be -- better than yesterday's. At Qatar, the lead pack mostly held position while Dovizioso controlled the pace, then everyone went for it during the last lap or so. We've all seen races where they trade the lead almost continuously for 45 freaking minutes.
Yesterday's races were great, all three classes. The top five in MotoGP were within .6 seconds, what other motorsport has that? Val coming from so far back to finish 5th was amazing and I think Quartararo is going to be fun to watch. Suzuki needs another 5 to 8 mph top end and they will be a force, Rins is hungry.
Hope KTM is paying Zacaro well, cause he's feeling pretty low right now.
