Has been there any other season as close as this one already? Pendulum swinging back and forth all the time. Non title contenders taking turns to decide on the outcome of each race.

And RIP seagull...

LEVAN points advantage...? Makes me nervous..

...Valentino Rossi lost the championship to Nicky Hayden at the final contest. Rossi finished the season-ending race at Valencia in 13th to get three points. (If I remember correctly, he crashed and remounted.) Hayden finished third and with the 16-point haul, won the championship by five points. So yes, there has. But it's been rare.

I have been following motogp only for couple of years now. And anything before that was occasional races that I would watch. And in past 2 years I have tried to watch everything I could get my hands on from the start of rossi Era. And as far as closeness of 2006, I was always under the impression that it was marked by 3 things: Pedrosa taking out Hayden, Rossi losing 5 points in dramatic fashion in penultimate round, and finally rossi crashing out in last round. I couldn't possibly compare it to 2015 as I haven't seen the season by myself. So thanks for that. Still! It kinda give me the feeling that 2015 is going to be the closest of all...

Lorenzo need to finish three positions or more in front of Rossi to win. Still a big ask, particularly if Marquez keeps grabbing the 25 points.
I don't care who wins the WC if we get another race like PI.

Great effort by the unheralded Petrucci to be in 9th overall.

Gotta love the fact that everytime we say this is a Jorge track or this is a Vale track the results the other way round. I sincerely hope Rossi wins it will be a fairy tale it is testament to his genius that Jorge is behind against a guy who will be 40 in a couple of years.
