Fabrizio win in Imola
So Ben just needs to win the next two races at Portimao for the championship. Not easy but still in his control. How important are those 5 points Haga loss to Fabrizio in Imola now. If Haga loses the championship because of race wins, having the same points as Spies, I would think Ducati would not be very happy. Maybe Fabrizio is making up for taking Spies out a few races back.
