Will The Doctor finally break Nicky this weekend, or will we have to wait and watch for a Bayliss/Edwards style finale ?

Really dont think my heart could take a race for the title.If it comes down to it, I reckon Rossi has the balls for the job.


Think this whole season has been near on breath taking for spectacle, racing and intrigue.

Any non bike racing types been drawn in to it ?

Is he riding for Yamaha next year?


He has no ride as of yet, but he's most likely to be on a Honda or a Yamaha next year. Until the race win a likely berth would have been the 2nd string Tech 3 Yamaha's as it's unlikely that Checa or Ellison are both going to be riding for them next year. But a win is a win, he might find a little present from Honda under his Christmas tree.

The other empty seats still to be filled are at Kawasaki, possibly the 2nd works Ducati and the D'Antin Ducatis. Not counting the seat he is vacating at Gresini, but maybe they will keep him now?


The rumour mill has Biaggi on the Kawasaki.........Ellison out, Checa poss staying.

Im just going to bump this, coz a week next sundays too far away.

As I see it. all Vale has to do is win or shadow Nicky for second, UNLESS Nicky wins and Pedrobot is second in front of Vale ?

Is that right?

How much would you put on Vale to win ?

So, Haydens going well at the mo,Vale is still pushing for race set up.

Capirex is the current danger man.If you were Nicky, would you be happy to see a fellow eyetie in front of you ?

Anyone else transfixed by the possibilities for this Sunday ?

Exactly how many "works" Hondas are going to be on the grid ?

The anticipation is excruciating.I cant think of one other race, with the exception of the Bayliss/Edwards WSB fight that filled with me with as much excitement.

Couldnt have been much better for Vale really.....Nicky marooned back behind a pair of Dukes and a kwak.I reckon Vale will juts try to check out in a Doohan stylee, unless he wants to hold them all up and trip over each other.

Roll on raceday!

Game over.Im off down the pub.

Bollocks.

Still Nicky didnt win it, Rossi gave it to him.Lets hope Yamaha get the bike right for next year and dont spend half the season developing it into a winner.

Agreed.Casey/Pedrobot/Marco are the next generation.Nicky, Im afraid, will only ever be a chaamp in the same way as Schwantz was, and that is more by default.Im not decrying what he's achieved, but he aint beat Vale in a head to head series.Cant see Sete getting a decent ride anymore.I think Vale ed his head big time.I do think next season will be Vales last tho, despite whats quoted in this weeks rag.
