Dani out of the doghouse?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (tinks @ Oct 30 2006, 02:05 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>people will look back at 2006 and think wot on earth....the guy with the most race wins didnt win the championship x

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
 
Was it Freddie Spencer and King Kenny in '83 that superbiasplanet was talking about the other day? It'll blow over, and only the record books will remain, which show American Nicky Hayden, rider for Repsol Honda as the 2006 MotoGP world champion (just wondering if reading that makes the valentiniboppers wince

Rossi looks tremendously big around them and he is average height.
I think about 6 feet or maybe a little less.


Thats probably coz im tremendously small for my age. But im near Dani's size, hes 21 lol.. (well people say that but i dunno

)

if hes 6 ft, then that is as tall as you can get for me, about a giant

Vale's 1.78m. My height exactly. That's 5'10 for all of you who don't get it in metric.
As for Richo's comment about how the records will show Hayden as world champ...no...it doesn't make me wince. How could it when the records show Rossi Rossi Rossi Rossi and Rossi as champ for the previous years? Then again...I don't think I'm a bopper. It would be slightly undignified at my age...
