Still the Doctor at the top...........but Frost now moved into second spot, its as tight as the actual championship!!

-sorry for the time the site was offline, the backup screwed up half way through - so had to restart it.

Team changes can now be made.............3 weeks I believe till Portual

man, i dont know which i should take: i can get the camel yamaha team or i can get the repsol honda team. i think rossi is very focused on winning at least 1 gp of the upcomming gp's. but i know nicky is focused on staying as close as he can with rossi and pedrosa is also in the repsol team. i expect dani to do very well in portugal and in valencia (since one of them is his home track), and i know i can't count on edwards to score me some points...

what to do??? my dad says repsol but i don't know...

ps: i know i'm way out of the running to even come close to the top 10, but you got to put some effort in it till the last race, right???

thanks for the quick update ben!

I would go for Repsol Honda because Nicky Hayden and Dani Pedrosa are always in the top 5ish where as Camel Yamaha are around 1st-4th with Rossi and 10-15th with Edwards so i would go for Repsol Honda

Considering you are right behind me I suggest you take the D'Antin Ducati team.

Anyway, I don't know how to compute the release fees and all that, but I took my chances of getting cappers, whoa, got myself bankrupt but that's okay. As mari said, "you got to put some effort in it till the last race"

wow...what great timing for the update..Thanks again Ben

thanks Ben!!

I've got back in top 10... i'm in 10th place

YEAH BABYYYY!!!

hahaa .... i've given up for this year ...

actually i think i gave up third round in.....

Would it be cool if we could see the standings with the race by race scores as well as the totals - like championships points often are. Or would that be sad? I'd just like to see how well I've done after joining so late compared to the top people. Just so we can prepare better for next year!

congrats doc! i do believe you've won the 1st annual motogp forum fantasy league!

WOW WOW WOW what a race! I was yelling at Dani the entire way.

Of all people to crack under the pressure who would have thought it would have been Vale.

I don't want to get too excited until the points are all counted up. I think I managed to pull through. I had Loris last race and I was struggleing to decide if I should keep him or take Nicky. For some reason I chose Dani since the race was in Spain. That made the fantasy league points race closer than I wanted.

Did I win?!!??

npo, i did by defaulkt hahaha

ill be back,next yr drunked more than ever hhaha

I'll be updating it today!

I made a .... - I should have added Bayliss to the league - nevermind. I've been checking the scoring, as I'll put Bayliss' points against a not racing rider - but Ducati/Bridgestone will still score points and will count towards the final standings - although I dont think this will makemuch differance to the overall standings

I think the only difference between the top two teams was Doc had Capirossi and Frsot had Melandri, so to win Frost needed Melandri to thump Capirossi, which didn't happen. I think you're the inaugural MotoGP forum fantasy leauge champion, Doc. (Ben, should we make a hall of fame for that? )

The winner could even have a little trophy by their profile or next to the flag aswell as being a hall of famer.
