Today at the Japanese MotoGp in Motegi they must have served spaghetti al dente instead of sushi because the Italians have cleaned the table: Capirossi first, Rossi second and Melandri third.
Nakano tried hard to grab the 4th place away from Gibernau, but at the last lap his front tire was clipped by the Ducati and so he crashed serving Hayden the 5th place on the silver plate.
The show was a bit boring with just a few changes in position during the whole race. The track has the typical stop an go layout with several slow turns connected by straights not long enough to use the wind draft to overtake the other rider. With a lack of fast long turns where to make the difference all the riders were forced to use the same line to maintain a good pace making even more difficult to attack on the brakes.
With only 12 points separating Hayden from Rossi and 2 races to go the World Championship is becoming breathtaking: next appointment in Portugal in three weeks.

Well, they do say that Marco Polo got the idea of spaghetti from the noodles he ate in the far east!
The championship is looking good. Li'l Nicky had better start riding more like Agostini if he wants this title.
I have just checked jimmy's blog, GREAT COMMENTS! jimmy seems to be very informed. My guess is that he is from England, because I doubt that any American knows the Roman Imperor and Capirex (LOL).
