Maverick Vinales wins at his debut the MotoGP Grand Prix of Qatar 2017

Three-quarter-hour delay began the first race of the 2017 season Moto GP, but it was worth the wait.
Movistar Yamaha MotoGP Spanish rider Maverick Vinales won the 2017 Qatar Moto GP.
The season's only night race started 45 minutes late, after all the dramas and tantrums thrown by weather at Losail International Circuit, Qatar. The flag off was delayed twice as the safety car was thoroughly examining the asphalt conditions.
After the green signal from Race directions, the Race was reduced to 20 Laps with allowance of changing tyres as track temperature dropped due to rain showers. After two warmup laps, the riders were set to open the throttle on Mark in the new Moto GP season 2017. A great start by Johann Zarco starting from second Grid was leading the way followed by Dovizioso, Iannone, Marc, Vinãles, Dani and 38 years old Valentino Rossi. Jorge Lorenzo going wide once couldn’t manage to get back in front again on his debut with Ducati.


The show started , amazing race.
First race with a new constructor and a win, Repeated what rossi did in South Africa with Yamaha. Looks like a promising season.
Congratulations to Maverick on a great result.

Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari is back: to win the Australian Grand Prix

F1 2017 is alive and kicking after Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel beat pre-race favourite Lewis Hamilton in a straight fight in the season-opening Australian GP.


Vettel drove a perfectly-judged race to claim the Scuderia's first victory since 2015 in  the new Ferrari car and an inspired strategy combined to deliver what was ultimately a comfortable victory, as Formula 1's new era started at the Australian Grand Prix.
"It's a great relief for everyone," said Vettel. "This is just the beginning."


Vettel storms to victory in Australia
Great performance from him, he was excellent from the start, and kept Hamilton within striking distance en route to win the first race of the season. But the assist of the day came from Max Verstappen who made sure that Mercedes and Ferrari work hard for the win. Let's hope that the remaining races of the season are close between Ferrari, Mercedes and hopefully Red Bull and for the other F1 teams to.

A quick shout out from Scuderia Ferrari to all of the people in the Northern Hemisphere who didn't want to wake up and early and witness a Hamilton victory from start to finish.
Congratulations Sebastian Vettel Hopefully a sign of things to come more exciting in the new 2017 Formula 1 season.

Roger Federer Wins his Fifth Indian Wells title

The incredible comeback continues for the great champion.
Roger Federer won a record-tying fifth ATP BNP Paribas Open men's singles crown as he defeated close friend Stan Wawrinka 6-4, 7-5 in an all-Swiss final at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.


The Swiss endured more than six-month injury lay-off at the end of 2016, but returned to the ATP Tour at the start of the season in spectacular fashion, capturing his 18th Grand Slam championship at
the Australian Open.
Victory in Indian Wells 2017 marks Federer’s 90th tour-level crown
and his 25th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title. At 35 years old, he is the oldest Masters 1000 Tennis champion.

When Federer is flowing like this, it's still impossible to live with him, even after all those years in theTennis court. He's just getting better and better like good wine and competing with him in this mode is like playing Poker with the witch - you're gonna lose. Credit to  Stan Wawrinka though, he played a great tournament too. 

Watching Federer play like this, radiating pure bliss and happiness makes you wonder if this man is eternal. If he wins another grand slam the World number 1 spot is in the horizon again for him.

The biggest comeback for the history of FC Barcelona

The night of never again. The night of history. The feat never achieved and embraced a Barcelona that entered the history of football with the biggest comeback ever imagined on the Catalan land.
It was the victory of faith, ambition, anxiety and desire. And it was a punishment, in the end, deserved for that cowardly PSG, in the first half they were lucky. Until they sank in misery.


The Spanish FC Barcelona completed the greatest comeback in Champions League history in the most improbable fashion with three goals in the final seven minutes to defeat the French Paris Saint-Germain 6-1 and earn an incredible 6-5 win on aggregate in their Round of 16 second leg of the UEFA Champions League, at the Camp Nouin in front of a hundred thousand spectators. Neymar scored in the 88th and 90th minutes before Sergi Roberto completed
the miracle in the final minute, all coming after an early trio of goals from  Luis Suarez and Layvin Kurzawa's own goal and a Lionel Messi penalty for Barcelona before Edinson Cavani had seemingly earned PSG passage to the quarterfinals with a score just after the hour mark.It will be a match that long lives in Barcelona
history, and assuredly 20 years from now millions will claim they were inside the Camp Nou on what was one of the most magical nights for one of Europe's most storied clubs.

A big Congratulations for the Remontada Barça.
