Moto GP Championship heating up

With two straight wins for Rossi, he has closed the gap from Gibernau to 5 points. Today Rossi won at Catalunya, on Gibernau's home turf. Also Biaggi can't be counted out yet, he's only 26 points down. The rest of the championship should be very interesting.

it's gonna be a rossi vs Gibernau .. Biaggi seems not able to challenge those two .. and rossi's performance in the last two GP, honda tracks is quite unbelivable .. good to see Melandri on the Podium . and Xaus also doing well

I agree too. I'm NOT a big fan of Rossi but he's really good on a GP machine.
Should be a great season to watch because the RC211Vs can be beaten!

IMO, Biaggi is already out of contention. Sete and Rossi are driving better than him and will only pull away from now on.

First of all, Rossi doesn't always win, if this were so he wouldn't be 2nd in the championship right now.

Anways, the next race is on June 26th, this weekend. It is the Dutch Grand Prix, at Assen.

What a race today at Assen, last lap battle between Rossi and Gibernau was great. They even got into each other on the last lap. Rossi came out on top with Gibernau second, and Checa third. Now Rossi and Gibernau are tied for the championship with a 126 points a piece.

The championsip continues to heat up.....

Well, the Cinzano Grand Prix was very interesting. Makoto Tamada won the race, which was well, unexpected. Rossi and Gibernau both crashed. So now Gibernau and Rossi are still tied for the championship with 126 points and Biaggi is third with 113.

Good race today for Americans as well, with Hayden leading them with a finish in third place.

The German Gran Prix from the Sachsenring is on right now. Currently Biaggi is leading, but Rossi has been pressuring him, and then there's Gibernau right behind Rossi. Checa crashed earlier and is out of the race. Right now they're on lap 8 of 30. If this race is anything like last year's then it should be a great finish. WOAH, Gibernau has just crashed for the second race in a row.

Well now the battle is between Rossi and Biaggi, ahhhhh Capirossi just crashed as well, ITS PURE MAYHEM!!!! I will continue to update as the race continues.

Well Biaggi wins, what a great battle towards the end with Biaggi and Barros. Hayden comes in third and Rossi fourth. This win by Biaggi makes the championship very interesting....and it seems that Biaggi is back in the hunt.

Championship Points
1. Rossi - 139
2. Biaggi - 138
3. Gibernau - 126

We get that a lot as well.

"Live" race reports" -- Well yes, the report was recorded when the race was live. But you get to watch it later

I was wrong.
Biaggi is back with strength and now it is Sete who's dropping behind. I better stop making predictions.

Well, Gibernau will come back, I'm sure of that, but those two crashes in a row set him behind. Give Rossi a little lead and he'll run with it, so Gibernau has some work cut out for him. The rest of the season should be very interesting.
