First Moto3 Is History.

The first running of the Moto3 GP class, 4-stroke replacement for the 125GP class is now done. Exciting racing from the buzzing hoard of small displacement racers. While 17 year old Spaniard Maverick Viñales won the race by several seconds, the story is second place, bike number 5, 16 year old Italian Romano Fenati in his plain white lid. In his first ever GP level race, Fenati battled closely with Viñales and took the lead a number of times, finally fading slightly to a solid second place. Probably the best ever finish of a GP rookie in his maiden race. This is definately a rider to watch. And then there was third place. Five bikes fighting closely for third ... somethimes three abreast into corners, followed very closely by two more. If you blinked you missed a diving pass, or out-braking to make your heart stop. Luis Salom eventually crossed the line ahead of the pack. Now that was real motorcycle racing. Twenty minutes 'til the Moto2 kick-off!
