You could get 8-1 on Nicky Hayden being champion 40 mins before the last race started!

Damn, I'd have put a score on that!

The way I see it, is that Rossi woulda, shoulda, coulda. He got beaten at arguably the peak of his career by a rider many are claiming to be horse sh*t... So what does that mean? Rossi is worse than that? Rossi, the greatest rider in the world was beaten at his best??

Hayden did bloody well, the same as Stoner is doing now. Any one of the riders in the top 15 could win a race on the right bike... Now who has the right bike this season I wonder?

Rossi didn't ride any less hard last year, and he's riding like a man possesed this year, great to watch. You can't tak the championship away from Hayden because he didn't go out and win every race. (ALthogh this defense could be the worst in recent history... KR JR can finally hand over that mantle on current form!! )
