If Casey wins the next race,
If Casey wins the next race, and Lorenzo crashes (possible) then they end the season on equal points. So Casey would take 2nd in the championship. Both riders are currently on 4 wins.
Equal points would means count back on race wins (5 vs. 4)
Yes, Valencia will be interesting...
...for many reasons, including Spies of course. But also the battle for 5th between Edwards and Dovizioso just got more interesting as well.
Melandri up there in 7th.
