Well we all know what has happened in the last few races...it was Hayden's Championship to lose and he lost his lead with one race remaining
because his team mate crashed him out.
I was looking at the qualifying results for Valencia which is a difficult track to pass on...Rossi won the pole and Hayden placed fifth...I knew ALL the variables on where Hayden and Rossi had to finish for Hayden to WIN the championship...then I saw some news reports on MotoGP.com.
Since coming to Yamaha, Rossi has won 14 poles and in only one of those races did he finish lower than SECOND....that one was a fourth
Hayden would need a miracle to win the race and have Rossi finish third or lower. Well in racing ANYTHING can happen so I set my alarm for 5AM so I could watch the race live...no big deal I get up for work at that time normally.
