People will look back on 2006 as one of the most exciting years in MotoGP (2-stroke or 4-stroke) history.
It isn't the first and it won't be the last time the championship will be decided by points and not race wins. Anyone who follows the sport will understand this and not be confused or upset by it.
As far as Pedrosa goes, he is the luckiest man in motorsports.
If Hayden hadn't won the title, 2006 would be remembered as the year Pedrosa lost the title for Hayden, Honda, and Repsol. That's not something easily forgotten or forgiven. He would have forever been the Bill Buckner of MotoGP. As it stands now his mistake in Estoril will be remembered as a footnote to an exciting season with many ups and downs.

Bill Buckner will forever be remembered for the Mookie Wilson ground ball that went through his legs in the sixth game of the 1986 World Series and cost Boston the championship
