Commercialbank Grand Prix of Qatar - FIM Road Racing World Championship 2012

Published by PeteS2K

The new season of MotoGP gets started under the lights of the Losail circuit in Qatar, and whilst Moto2 stays the same, it's all change in the other two classes. Gone are the 2-stroke 125cc bikes having been replaced by the new Moto3 class that uses 4 stroke 250's. In the top class the engines have been increased to 1000cc which will hopefully improve the racing. Look out the Maverick Viñales in Moto3 and it should be Stoner vs Lorenzo in MotoGP. As for Moto2, that will be it's usual chaotic self, so it's anybody's guess!
