I'd say Congratulations! (but I'm not worthy). What a season it was. Many twists and turns throughout the year. Clutch performances (Hayden's win at the USGP), ridiculous mistakes (Pedrosa's blunder), unfortunate errors (Colin's last corner crash at Assen), and a small crack in Rossi's armour (which cost him the title). We also had some big crashes which definitely affected the rest of the field, e.g. Capirossi, Melandri.
A was a great battle all year long, albeit an indirect one for the most part. There were the occasional photo finishes and shoulder rubbing going on. That's an incredible on board shot at the start of Valencia where Hayden lets Rossi know ”It's on!“ with a little elbow shot.
Can't wait to see Hayden and Rossi mix it up next year. Perhaps Hayden can develop his block pass. Rossi will be out for blood. Pedrosa and Capirossi will be digging the 800s and there will be so much more.
I think Hayden and Edwards II should do some testing on a 250cc to develop their corner entry characteristics. It does seem the faster way around. Less point and shoot and more flow.
