My word what a race! it really was one of the very best races I have ever watched - it was brilliant, the sprint race was pretty good on the Saturday but it really did seem a bit well anti-climaxed but the main event - wow - so much so I have now watched it twice - it really was that good, Maverick Vinales - has always been a mercurial if brilliant at times racer who when all things point in the right direction is just about unbeatable, against the new wonder kid on the block Pedro Acosta whose initial start to the year has been nothing short of exceptional and the shall we say returning Marc Marquez on a Ducati, oh and the other brilliant Ducati's who are not in the slightest bit intimidated by Marquez and let him know he can't get away with his previous tactics - especially Martine and Pecca who are extremely good. Starting on pole Maverick was pushed back to 11th by some very aggressive riding but by the end with some brilliant overtaking won in record style, should this form continue then his first world championship beckons and wouldn't that be something. If I was to recommend to anyone a race to watch it would have been this one, it really had so much and was just brilliant. There is a new name for Maverick, Batmav and he wears the cloak of victory.

What a race indeed, sensational! And so happy for you Chris that Maverick won. He’s on form for sure so that bodes well for the season.

Spanish Grand Prix - JerezThe home race for many riders and it could be a cracker. Francesco Bagnaia fastest in FP2 followed by the on-form Maverick Viñales and home favorite Marc Márquez.

Oh my nearly 300,000 spectators over the weekend, that is some number, I did go to the race around 2012 and it was insane them - streets full of screaming and revving 600's and so many enthusiastic fans and now its even more hectic
the sprint race was one of the most bizarre races I have seen, so many crashes it was unbelievable
as for the proper race it was exciting to say the least - there was no way the Italians were going to let Marc win and my word did Pecco defend his lead - complete with rubber on Marquez's shoulder - it was all bonhomie afterwards but perhaps with gritted teeth.

French Grand Prix - Le Mans After the exciting races in Spain we have now arrived in France. Home race for Fabio Quartararo and Johann Zarco. It would be nice if they could score well, but that won't be easy.

wouldn't it be great if they both did a great race, but on Japanese machinery at this stage unlikely,
All the talk is about Pecco and MM - and their battle, well I think people are forgetting Jorge and Maverick to mention two others, and especially the Ducati riders are definitely up for a tussle with MM and he won't get away with any bullying tactics,
It will be very interesting especially as the weather has finally improved, sadly I won't be able to watch much as I am away to Ireland for a weeks travelling on the bike. I will try and watch it Sunday as there is a history to Le Mans, I was fortunate to go there a few years ago and what struck me was the noise of the MotoGP bikes, it was deafening but brilliant
