After 3 races...

After 3 races in the world championship, Honda and its riders seem to be head and shoulders above the rest.

Valentino Rossi dominates in 500, obviously Valentinik's class is unquestionable, but also the team and the bike (ex Doohan) seem to be from another planet.

Loris Capirossi has a Honda from last year and if some updates don't arrive it will be difficult for the Great Loris to keep up with Rossi.

Max Biaggi seems to be in crisis with his Yamaha, when the bike isn't there Max doesn't ride, let's hope Madmax returns.

In 250 Dajiro Katoh also seems to be unbeatable on Honda, he dominated the first 3 races and if Aprilia and its riders don't close the gap the 250 class risks being a Japanese monologue (bike and rider).

In the 125 class the Derbi seems to be the most competitive bike, but Ui's crash in Jerez paved the way for Azuma on the Honda.

However, the Italians are going strong in this category and it is hoped that Manuel Poggiali will be able to win on the Gilera as soon as possible.

Great performance for Italjet who with Stefano Perugini was fighting for the podium but had to give up in 12th place due to mechanical problems.
