It's going to be an interesting race and season. So how hard does Rossi have to ride in order to maintain a comfortable lead in first?
If Capirossi (current leader) places 2nd and Rossi 1st, that would give Rossi 52 points (27 + 25 = 52) and Capirossi 61 (41 + 20 = 61) which would still place Rossi below first place. If we extended it out in this "Capirossi math", the next race (given the same results) would show Capirossi with 81 and Rossi with 77. Next Capirossi - 101 & Rossi - 102.
But 1 point is hardly comfortable so extending it out shows that he'd probably have to win Rounds 3 - 7 to get a 11 point lead (even that's not that big a gap).
So if Capirossi wants to be world champion, he's got a good shot numbers wise. This of course can extended to other racers.
It should be interesting to see how hard Rossi has to race in order to place first should other players continually place second and Rossi first. Or stated another way, what's the average podium placement a racer has to finish in order to beat Rossi and grab the championship?
Yet another reason why placing within the top 3 is recommended on the first race and not grabbing 2 points.

lol yeah Why they changed It I'll never know but its nobodys buisness but the Turks!
^eh, everyone wipes out or has some mechanical problem atleast 1 race a season ussually so subtract that from your math. imo.
HOLY SMOKES...... Rossi is F-ing KING!!!
Went to *********** to get this stat....Well after I was freaked out by their new talking picture(go to rider info)..
OUT OF 17 Starts for Valle last season 16 times on the Podium! 16 out of 17 times on the PODIUM!!! I was just going to whoever wants to challenge him better make it on the podium consistently because not seeing rossi on the podium is rare but I decided to go grab that stat...
1st - 11
2nd - 3
3rd - 2
16 out of 17 races on the podium... THE KING!!

Yea...the thing w/ Rossi is that he's extremely consistent throughout the season. Granted he did go down during the first race, he's still mostly likely to finish on the podium during the rest of the season. This is what separates him w/ everyone else. Sete is extremely inconsistent, same w/ Hayden and Capirossi. I still don't see anyone coming close to Rossi this year.

Hayden is getting good...... but only 1 win right?(out of those 6)
Sete = :urowned .... As many Poles as rossi last season(5) and only time he made it on the podium(4) he finished second! If sete doesn't get a win this season against rossi and retires out of motogp after this season he'll be :urowned forever.

^ Yeah no one dominates like him. He is the only one that is dominating, He is the Jordon but I don't see a Larry bird as of now.
