In the 250cc class, the 2007 Chinese GP was one of Alvaro Bautista’s top races last year, coming home 3.904 seconds behind Jorge Lorenzo and over 5 seconds ahead of third place man Andrea Dovizioso (plus then teammate de Angelis, Kallio and Barbera making up the top six) – and in the 125cc it was another decent outing for the Aspar Team, with Hector Faubel in 2nd, Gabor Talmacsi in 4th and Sergio Gadea in 6th.

Let’s hope it’s another strong weekend in both classes this time round too
