So if I have this figured out right, it's basically a two-horse race at this point (Hayden vs. Rossi). The best Melandri can do is 2nd if both Rossi/Hayden DNF.
So here's my MotoGP Math:
Hayden takes 1st, Rossi can finish no lower than 2nd
Hayden takes 2nd, Rossi can finish no lower than 4th
Hayden takes 3rd, Rossi can finish no lower than 7th
Hayden takes 4th, Rossi can finish no lower than 10th
Hayden takes 5th, Rossi can finish no lower than 12th
Hayden takes 6th, Rossi can finish no lower than 13th
Hayden takes 7th, Rossi can finish no lower than 14th
Hayden takes 8th, Rossi can finish no lower than 15th
Please double-check if I'm right. If I'm incorrect, I'll edit.
What happens if there's a tie? Would it go to a qualifying time comparison?
If Hayden takes it, it would be a great story. If Rossi wins it, it would be an even better story.
