    Rossi or Nicky?

    I’m going for Nicky but Rossi will win the championship unless the Yamaha breaks down or ( Danney Padrosa takes him out like he did Nicky) 😮

    I’d love to see Valentino do it again after all the bad luck he’s had this season. It just goes to show just how much better he is than the rest of the field.

    All he has to do is finish ahead of Nicky, or if that fails just limit the amount of points that Nicky scores….sounds easy doesn’t it?

    Yeah! I can’t help but admire the Doctor! He is by far the best there is on two wheels!

    Weird things can happen however and if Danny and Nicky can break out and Danny can keep Rossi off… Then Nicky may have a shot. He may end up tossing it away it the fight however. Or Danny may have a chip on his sholder and fight with Nicky?

    We will see!

    Valentino is a bit of a hero isn’t he. I was quite pleased though to see Nicky Hayden win, after Pedrosa taking him out a couple of weeks ago-that was unfortunate! I’d have loved to be a fly on the wall after that little episode!

    Great result for Hayden, but can’t help thinking that the better rider came second in the championship!!

    The thing that over shadowed the day was Troy Bayliss winning the race itself!!! Coming from a different series that runs controlled Pirelli tyres and just stepping onto a Bridgestone shod Ducati to get second in qualifying and win the race is VERY impressive.

    The DR.. did him self in! I feel for the guy… As an old road racer my self I have found my self on the ground and did not know how I got there! Several times.

    I would have preferred the race go down to the wire because Nicky was on fire the first few laps. I feel he would have overtaken Bayliss however I think Danny may have fallen off the pace perhaps. Rossi and Nicky would have dooked it out with Bayliss… Now that would have been a race.

    I am very happy for Nicky and very impressed with Bayliss.. I have always liked Bayliss.

    your right the better rider lost but thats racing.
    started watching and when rossi fell off 😮 could not believe it,
    any body else i would have switched off. but you know some off the things rossi has done over the years. i realy thought he could do it and watched to the end. a gent in defeat as well.
    only thing that soured it was the constant whoop whoop whooping by nicky hayden give him his dues he rode a good race.
    troy bayliss top job brilliant rider hope he gets a go next year in gps.
    although with the new 800cc rule anybody over 7 stone will be on the back foot .just the macau gp to look forward to.

    Alas! My MAN-GOD also makes mistakes! He’s won more GP’s than Ive been to the corner cafe, and still I’ve pranged more than him! Good to see he is copying my undoubted fine style!

    I still wear "41" on my jocks!
    Well done though to Hayden – After his last off he must have NEVER thaught the goddess of luck take pity on him. Hell, Rossi almost took the title on a Yamaha, do you still doubt his capabilities?

    I feel very lucky to witness Rossi in my life time! The man is with out dout the best man on two wheels! I thought for sure he would make it back up to the front pack! I’ve seen him do it before.

    But racing is racing and you fall off and get slammed into by other riders!
    Nicky has his job cut out for him next year because Rossi will not stand for it! I hope Edwards has a better year next year he has been struggling!

    If Biggy goes to Supers next year, I demand Rossi go there to stuff him up. Again. And to F1. And WRC. He is blessed with congenital good lines, (Racing, that is) brake markers, and extra strong cahoonas! He is like Nori Haga with skill!
