Good to see Marco competitive, Aprilia looked like they had Island wrapped up but he managed to break the strangle hold, looks like he will have a tough time of the championship, but better opportunities in the coming rounds.

What an impressive start to the WSBK season. Prior to the accident, I believe he had the pass be in between the two Aprilia's or win. Real class to run over and check on Checa and real guts to race in race 2 and almost pull off second place. Get well Marco!!!

Great to have motorcycle racing again,its been a long winter.

Negatives: poor camera production,they focused on the winner and ignored everyone else crossing the line,the number of starters and worst of all,the post race interviews
