Good show for Hopper! He's finished close to the top 10 just about every race.

Now the season starts

So Yamaha is in the running, and the RS cube is well up to speed... who knows about Suzuki?

Biaggi ran a beautiful, mature race; I swear he may be growing up. His press comments were sort of grudging though. "The new chassis is a little better, not worthy of Biaggi yet". (my translation)

Capirossi: magnificent. Kato: poor kid.

Ukawa: steady as a rock.

Can't wait to see how KR and Laconis improve next time.

Re: Now the season starts

I only got to see part of the race on TV....

What happened to Kato? Somebody take him out, or mechanical failure, or something?

I'd need more evidence to say that Biaggi is growing up. Rossi was so dominant, what else *could* Biaggi have said/done (without making himself look like a complete moron)? But kudos to Biaggi for putting it out front at home, if only until Rossi decided to check out.

Re: Now the season starts

Rossi usually makes more sense in the post race interviews. I've always laughed at Biaggi's incoherent race comments. This time Max had a better interview than Rossi. Maybe this IS where the season starts--it's apparent that Max's confidence is back. And his english has gotten better!

Re: Now the season starts

He faw down go boom on lap 11. Not his day, but he'll be back. He couldn't seem to find a decent setup for Mugello.

Did anybody show up to start the race on anything but a Honda or Yamaha? Where did they all go?
