Finally got around to watching race 1. I have to wait for YouTube. Petrux's Panigale was on rails. Too bad Gagne had technical gremlins.

Petrux had a great weekend. Interviewed afterwards said he needed to reset his drive to compete. Say what? Those two rides were done without passion? Really? He seems to be looking at the year in MotoAmerica as a paid holiday while he decides whether to go to WSBK next year.

Petrucci made mince meat of the AMA paddock, though Gange was having problems so maybe it will be a bit more competitive over the season.

Still shocked that the Ducati has a significant straight line speed advantage after 2-3 seasons of the SBK balancing concept. I guess the new thing is power to weight, and Ducati have got the system beat.

SBK needs to get it together. Cutting unnecessary costs is a good idea, but they need minimum bike-rider weight for everyone, not power-weight equivalency.

Will be interesting to see how Petrucci does on tracks he's not familiar with. And where was Josh Herrin? Did he get hurt? I didn't watch all the pre-race stuff.

I think he's riding supersport this year. He was riding for Ducati at the Daytona 200.
