Just remember what people were saying after Australia, " Phillip Island isn't like the rest of the circuits, wait until they get to Thailand since that won't favor the Ducati as much. Wait for the European circuits." Then after Thailand it was, "Thailand isn't like the rest of the circuits, wait until they get to Europe as those tracks won't favor the Ducati as much." I don't know who is worse, the Ducati haters or the Rea lovers.

Wow. Didn't see that coming. Rea a full second off Bautista's pace and .5 behind the best of the rest. Is Rea injured or something?
I don’t know who said that... I’m pretty sure most people agreed that Thailand was another “Daucati track”, and even Aragon to a certain extent with its looooong backstretch.
With a few more Ducs up in the top places...we may soon see the ducs limit changed or something. Bau just walking away every race aint good. The racing for 2 thru 5 or so was GREAT though
Good to see Chaz up front! Also, did Haslam have THE monster umbrella girl? @Steeltoe we need an investigation!
Gutted for everything to come apart for Liberty on the final lap, but great to see Bautista take the win at home and Chaz bet back on the podium. The crowd around the podium looked massive compared to anything I remember seeing last year! I’m guessing Rea will start bitching about the performance of the Yamahas next because Lowes was keeping him honest for the majority of that race. Can’t wait for races 2 and 3!
7 for 7. We'll see if the Bau can run the table. I will be interested to see how the duc does at Assen. While it's a flowing track, it's not a horsepower track.
