Good to have the Rossi of old back, between him and Marc,. 2 cut throat riders with a no mercy attitude, definitely going to ruffle a few feathers.
Lorenzo is a machine, but I think Rossi is going to make him work for a third title. Rossi having fun on a bike is a dangerous thing.
Going to be a good season.

What an awesome season opener!
If Rossi hadn't had that 2nd lap incident I think he could have had something for Lorenzo. The Rossi/Marquez battle was though...

After that one pass the race was pretty boring. I think I fell asleep 5 or 6 times at the end only to wake up and see the lap counter had only gone down by 1.
What an awesome race for Marquez!

Marquez...holy shit. 2nd race and he has a win. Kind of flabberghasted about that - he is now the youngest winner in history. His speed must be destroying Pedrosa's mind...

And the rivalries begin. Lorenzo got stuffed in his own corner.
Was hoping Rossi would be able to fight with them too...

Lorenzo breaks his collarbone in practice on Thursday. He plans on being on the bike on Sat to race
in 2008 I think it was he needed crutches to walk around and he still road the damn bike competitively... dude is a machine...
Watched his crash too, it wasn't pretty...

And I'd expand that list to include all motorcycle racers. From the Isle of Mann to the Irish racing down to the SuperAMA guys. In the documentary "Faster" they touched on Mick Doonahue (I think that's the rider...) who broke both legs in 3 spots each. 6 spots total and they had to throw both legs into one cast just so they would heal each other. A month later, he came back to ride only because he still had a chance at the championship.
Or what about John Hopkins amputating his finger off just so he wouldn't miss the start of a season.
Seriously, these guys are a serious awesome throwback but only because they're bat shit insane...

Mick Doohan. Also at Assen...
In late June 1992 Mick Doohan fell at the Assen GP and suffered a savage lower right leg break - spiral fractures of the tibia and fibula. After botched early treatment, amputation was on the cards. It was horrendous.
After rescue and relocation, a radical op performed by Doctor Claudio Costa’s Clinica Mobile saved his legs from being sawn off and speeded up his recovery. Seven weeks after his crash, as weak as a kitten and with his leg withered and useless, Doohan came back to defend what was left of his once imperious 57-point Championship lead at the hideously dangerous Interlagos circuit.
His treatment had included radical surgery, sewing both his legs together and transplanting muscle tissue from his torso to his calves, to help get the dying muscles become oxygenated by the living tissue.
