Fall of the Champion

29th Oct was a sad sunday.I don't refer to the Indian cricket team's loss to Australia which any way was  a foregone conclusion.It was the Fall of Valentino Rossi on the 5th lap of the final race at Valencia which ultimately released the grip he had on moto Gp.Had Rossi won he would have been the only moto Gp champion in the history since  from next year it will be the 800 cc race.
Coming with a lead of 8 Points over Hayden (Who Became the new Champion) The world champion Known fondly as "The Doctor" was expected to seal the championship.I thought the bad Luck which was haunting him throughout the year had been over come when he took the pole.It was horiffic to see the Doctor starting badly from the pole possition and running seventh .In the fifthlap all was over as his camel Yamaha lost its Front and Crashed. However he got up and continued the race with determination . It was a pathetic to see him alone as the last man but finally he managed to finish. 13th.Had he a better Bike like Honda or ducati he would have been able to win inspite of the crash.
Its time for Rossi to firmly tell yamaha to come up with a Good Bike or look for teams with better machines.May be Ducati will be apprpriate .It could be an all Italian team that can create many new records in Bike racing.
