Rossi has been a reliable rider all season.
The M1 has not been a reliable ride all season.

I don't want there to be any more breakdowns or crashes with the title challengers and just want to see good clean racing right down to the wire.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (IsraeliRacer @ Sep 15 2006, 04:16 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>I reckon it'll end before. All Nicky needs is another podium or bad race for Valentino and its all but decided. Nicky's been the most consistent rider this season, more than can be said for Valentino.
Actually he need both. Hayden need to put himself in second on every race if Rossi win them all. Rossi winning the rest is a hard call but for Nicky to get second in all of them is even less likely.
My guess is that nither is going to happen, Rossi won't win them all but the question is what Hayden can do. With almost everyone there he seems to struggle to get above 4th and that's not good enough. Consistency isn't worth much if you loose 12 points or more every race you consistently end up 4th or worse.
Right now it's just as interesting to see what happens with Pedrosa. If he can't make top 10 this round he might be out of the fight and possibly disadvantaged next weekend too. That will mostly work to Haydens advantage as there is one guy less that regulary beats him.

Rainey finished 3rd in the last race and Doohan 6th. So Rainey got 6 more points than Mick (16 - 10), therefore prior to the race (suposing the points system was the same) Mick lead Waine by 2 points, so basically the one that ended up ahead of the other in the last race won the championship.
Current point system started in 1993. In 1992 they used 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1 for top 10.

teo i would'nt say it's down to these 2 only. melandri, pedrosa & cappers all still in it. melandri & pedrosa only 32 points adrift. cappers has it a bit tougher at 45.

yup, rule states when a score is the same, advantage goes to the ryder with the most wins.
