In a dramatic fashion, Nicky Hayden today became the new world champion, finishing in third place on his Repsol Honda, helped by Valentino Rossi's thirteenth place -- due to a fall in the fourth lap of the "Gran Premio de la Comunitat Valenciana". This was the season finale of the FIM Road Racing World Championship (MotoGP), and took place on the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia, Spain.

Another champion bites dust.

I watched the race. Usually Moto Gp races are very interesting and full of tough battles, but this one was very boring race, even considering that it's very rare that the championship is decided in the final race like this year. Rossi's fall was a bity for the race and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it! Very weird... Well Hayden had a nice season and he deserved it, kudos for him!
