2012 Jerez MotoGP Preview: On a Spanish Promise

After the opening of hostilities in the black of the desert night in Qatar, the 2012 MotoGP season gets underway for real - or at least, what feels like for real - this weekend in Jerez. The paddock finally full, not of Nissen huts, but of sleek and shiny hospitality units and race trucks; the stands full of fans, and spread all around the track, not huddled together at one end of Qatar's single grandstand; the bikes displaying their natural glory in daylight, not the fluorescent glare of Qatar's admittedly spectacular floodlit goldfish bowl.

The track is familiar to all. We were here just a month ago, for the final IRTA test ahead of the season, and everyone has had a chance to find a decent setup for the track. Fastest man during the test was also the fastest man at Qatar, though arm pump prevented Casey Stoner from capitalizing on that speed, his title rival Jorge Lorenzo taking advantage to secure a well-deserved victory.
