That's about it, really.
One bike with eight wheels in the lead, everybody up the inside of
everybody else, three abreast round corners. Fantastic.

Just watched it - bloody unbelievable stuff. And a definite sense of
a "changing of the guard" too.

Indeed so. Although it's maybe just a *tad* too early to be writing a
certain someone off ...

Well, yes. Rossi is still the man to beat. He and Yamaha were off
the pace all weekend, wet and dry, and as such 4th was a result. Next
week he could be lording it again. But, we're 3 races into the
season, and he's only 5th in the points table, 12 points down on the
leader. He's never been this far down before.

If I had to bet, I'd still go for Rossi. But I reckon Hayden is
looking really dangerous - he's had 7 podiums in a row now. With so
many people challenging for wins, consistency will really count.
Remember Lawson taking the title in 89, despite both Schwantz and
Rainey winning more races?
