The opening round of the 2007 MotoGP season at Qatar is complete and we now know who was ready to play. The Desmosedici GP7 kicked everybody's ass in straight-line speed and from the looks of it aren't too bad in the corners either. Stoner who's had a crash prone beginning to his premier class career looked absolutely flawless first time out on the Duc. Rossi was up against it this time, with Stoner making no mistakes, no matter what pressure he attempted to apply. Hopefully Casey will keep the rubber side down this season and emerge as a title contender. Capirossi will be up there as well, no doubt.
As far as the current world champion goes, Hayden seemed at a loss all weekend on the new RC212V. Hopefully he and the bike can come together to mount a title defense. Even though the Yamahas weren't the fastest, they seem to handle pretty darn well in the corners and they weren't the slowest bikes out there. Pedrosa has no intention of waiting around for Hayden this year either, so look for a massive uphill climb for the Kentucky Kid. Massive.
