It's over...

The last race has come & gone. With Marco Melandri victorious again. He's done very well this year save for a few set back mid season. He deserved those wins. I must say that the Yamaha corporate racing livery that Valentino Rossi & Colin Edwards sported was just brilliant. Rossi had his "worst crash of the season" at Valencia & was only able to secure 15th position on the grid. He came back though & took third place, which is a considerable achievement for any rider, but a given for Rossi.

1. Melandri
2. Hayden
3. Rossi

Final MotoGP Championship standings:

1. Valentino ROSSI -- 367
2. Marco MELANDRI -- 220
3. Nicky HAYDEN -- 206
4. Colin EDWARDS -- 179
5. Max BIAGGI -- 173
6. Loris CAPIROSSI -- 157
7. Sete GIBERNAU -- 150
8. Alex BARROS -- 147
9. Carlos CHECA -- 138
10. Shinya NAKANO -- 98

Silly season:

• Sete Gibernau apparently going to Ducati
• Max Biaggi supposed to be going to Camel Honda
• Chris Vermeulen to ride beside John Hopkins at Suzuki
• Dani Pedrosa (2005 250cc world champion) to ride beside Nicky Hayden for HRC
• Casey Stoner looking to move to MotoGP class, rumoured being considered by Yamaha
• Marco Melandri & Nicky Hayden to head Honda development
• Toni Elias to race for Honda Gresini team, which will be sponsored by Fortuna
• Team Roberts planning Honda-powered prototype

Now what am I going to do untill next season!? Re-watch the five races I have taped, watch the past reviews, watch Faster & my Valentino Rossi biography, read my Valentino Rossi autobiography, read Phil Irving's biography...maybe I should do some school work...HAHAHAHA!
