Somehow, Rossi is willing this championship into his hands. Dani taking out Nicky (completely reckless, on the curb, lap 2 - WTF Dani), all but seals the deal for Rossi. I'm confident now that he has the points lead, he'll just cruise in the last race, make the calculations, and know where he needs to be for the championship victory. Sucks for Nicky - I've never seen the dude mad ever, and he was absolutely fuming. He's done everything right, but it's just not in the cards for him this year. 8 points down to a grizzled veteran. Bummed, but there's always next year right? Toni Elias? Best late braking I've ever seen. Dude might have a future! Can't wait for the season finale! Pags

Super bummed for Nicky-his face was the epitome of pure fury after that overly optimistic move by Dani. Going to be tough for Nicky, but anything can happen-it ain’t over ‘til it’s over!!! We’ll see what happens at the finale!

Crap! So much for a big Rossi, Hayden battle. I'm a big fan of both these riders, but especially Dani, the little featherweight who was considered incapable of handling and winning on one of these machines, but how can Dani ever face Nicky, or his fans again, or how will I ever be able to mention his name again without cursing from others? I'm guessing there will be Nicky fans who will never forgive Dani. Yeah, your team mate is the first person you want to beat, but also the last person you want to take out. So, what's it look like now for Valencia? The math still gives Nicky a decent chance to win the championship, but considering how Rossi has been riding the past 5 races, it does not look good. Valencia next: last race, big race.

Rossi holds the lead by 8 points. Not looking good for Nicky for sure. > On Jun 21, 2020, at 12:23 PM, Kevin Kachadourian <kkachadourian@gmail.com> wrote: > > Crap!

So if I’m correct, this is the breakdown of Nicky/Rossi finishes at the last round in order for Nicky to win outright without a tie-breaker If Nicky wins, Rossi can finish no higher than 8th If Nicky comes in 2nd, Rossi can finish no higher than 13th If Nicky comes in 3rd, Rossi would have to finish outside the points Like Pags said………….. not looking good.

Hate to say it...not gonna happen. If Nicky wins this it’ll be a small miracle. Anyone taking bets?
