Why MotoGP 2011 will be an epic
The final year of MotoGP's 800cc rules package sees new faces in new places and more intrigue than for several seasons. Toby Moody explains why he can't wait for it to get started
MotoGP 2011 and the last year of the 800cc formula is already upon us. The gladiatorial opener under the floodlights of Qatar this weekend could not be a better place to dish out the first 25 points in a season that has all the hallmarks of being a runaway for the resurgent Honda team, but actually might be anything but that.
Some of the biggest names have moved teams over the winter with Valentino Rossi going to Ducati and Casey Stoner going to Honda, which makes a three-bike assault on the title. Reigning champion Jorge Lorenzo remains on his own patch at Yamaha with the cool Ben Spies joining him after a single season at Tech 3, Yamaha's offshoot squad.
