Battle of the Champions
I had missed the live telecast due to the exams, but I caught the repeat telecast of MotoGP Qatar later at night, after evading any smses or web feeds regarding the results. So to me, it was as good as live.
Everything was sparkling. It’s the first night race, much like how Singapore’s gonna hold the first F1 night race. The flood lights made everything sparkle and shine. Quite a breathtaking sight. And it’s even more breathtaking to see the new bikes, like Stoner’s new number 1 Ducati, and the highlight: Rossi and Lorenzo sharing the same uniform and bike, under yamaha.
I had hopes that Rossi’s poor performance last season was just a one time thing, and so when Rossi took the first position early in the race, I was enthralled! Then Lorenzo caught up to 2nd! I was freaking excited now… Two crazy ass riders leading the race. Both under the same team. The boring Stoner took 5th.
But as the events played out, Stoner slowly crept up to 1st and led. Lorenzo beat Rossi, and led a high speed chase on Stoner. Rossi now dangles in 3rd. Then Pedrosa pushed Rossi back to 4th.
But that’s not the worst for the 5 time world champ, as some new rookie began overtaking Rossi. He battled for 4th place and actually won Valentino Rossi. By now my thoughts were: Rossi’s reign has truly ended. Stoner’s taken over the throne. And the only contender worth watching out for is the crazy spanish dude Lorenzo, who I must say, reminds me a lot of Rossi himself.

Jorge Lorenzo. Amazing debut, getting 2nd place on his first MotoGP race.
All that’s left to watch now is Lorenzo, the champion of the 250cc fighting Stoner, the champion of the previous season’s MotoGP.
The only good thing about Stoner winning the race is that we get to see more of his wife, Adriana.

Stoner and Adriana
