I'm making this the official 2013 season thread for MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3. Come here to comment, vent or just plain argue but please do not post any spoilers.

Great racing yesterday in Qatar. I've been surprised by Crutchlow yet again. I really didn't think he had it in him to compete at this level. I figured he'd be a WSBK lifer.

It was a great race. Crutchlow did awesome, too bad about his mistake. Rossi did awesome too.

The Yamahas did good but they need some work on acceleration and top-end again.

Marquez will definitely be a threat this as expected. I think poor Dani might have a frustrating year again.

I love Rossi and the fact that he's back at Yamaha.

But after watching today's qualifying, I really think Yamaha should have given the factory ride to Crutchlow and put Rossi on Crutchlow's bike(Tech 3).

Unbelievable Moto2 action this past weekend in Texas. What a battle.

I feel so sorry for those that only watch Formula 1. The cars are unbelievable but the races are so boring.

And holy crap, I almost creamed my shorts watching them go through corners 2, 3, 4 and 5. If ever a trackday or club race is held at Circuit of the Americas, me and my R6 will be there. I dont care how much it costs, a trackday at COTA is now officially on my bucket list.

Did anybody see the last lap, last turn incident between Marquez and Lorenzo last weekend at Jerez? That is going to be one spectacular battle for years to come ala Rossi/Giberneau or Bayliss/Edwards in WSBK. What great time to be a MotoGP fan.

Agreed.
Though I do think it was a hot headed move by Marquez.

I must admit the race was less competitive this weekend at Mugello. Other than the battle between Dovi, Hayden and Bradl it was kind of a boring race. Did anyone see the AMA Superbike race at Road America? It was supposed to be televised on CBS.

Yeh it was kinda boring. Bummed Rossi went down. Really think Cal should have got the factory ride.

Didn't catch the AMA. Just can't get into it. I hate the American tracks.

Hoping the Catalunya GP will be a good one. Rossi seems to be having good pace so far.
