The 2006 Moto GP Thread

[squala]

Didn't see the race, puro kasi walang kwentang soccer games ang nilalabas instead of the replay eh.

Anyway, everyone but the Repsol Honda Team was saddened as Rossi's reign ends, technically that is. No doubt he's still by far the best one out there. We have to give it to a consistent bike for Hayden, once mincemeat to Valentino. I have to say the American was consistent himself, didn't take any risks and made sure he finished all the races. But at the last race, it was more of Rossi losing the championship than Hayden winning it. Had he not crashed, he would have finished good enough to secure the trophy. I'm happy though that the resurgent Troy Bayliss finally had his very first MotoGP victory here.

The story here is like Schumacher's last year. Their car just wasn't good enough, so no matter what he does, he could only win without the Michelin runners (USGP). But like Michael, Valentino's greatness will never falter that easily. The bikes will be 800 cc next year, so it's an all-new ball game for everyone, and I'm pretty sure Rossi will win the title again.
