The new, long-awaited MotoGP season has finally begun, and that means that our usual photo gallery featuring the most charming paddock girls of the weekend is back too.
There’s no doubt that Valentino Rossi’s “resurrection” in Qatar had many fans jumping on their sofas in excitement, and here is a nice collection of pictures that might get your hearts pumping just as much.
Well, maybe not ‘that’ much, but after such a massive race this might be just the proverbial ‘icing on the cake‘ to close the Losail chapter and move on to the next one.
Speaking of which, the next MotoGP round will take place in just a forthnight at the brand new ‘Circuit Of The Americas’ (COTA) in Austin, Texas, where a few weeks ago Honda’s Marc Marquez topped the timesheet in all of the three days of testing.
Not that there were that many teams there (just Repsol Honda, LCR Honda and, for the first two days only, Yamaha Factory Racing) but that is obviously a good omen for the talented 20 years old.
However, even though Marquez and Pedrosa lapped considerably better than Rossi and Lorenzo on their first test at the COTA, if there’s something that we’ve learnt (again) from the Qatar GP is that being fast on one lap doesn’t mean anything if you have no consistency and the bike doesn’t take proper care of the tyres, so we just have to wait and see what will happen once there.
One thing we are already sure about is that there’s going to be more paddock girls there, and we will report about that a couple of days after the race.
