Nick vs Vale

Estoril, 15 October 2006

It will be a thrilling battle between Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden.
If I were a gambler, my money will be on Rossi. Why?
Because Nick is pathetic. Since he won US GP at Laguna Seca, I didn’t see him fighting again. He rode his bike very conservative, trying to hold his big point’s advantage over Vale. Even if he won this year’s championship (very unlikely, except Vale’s M1 is in trouble again or something called forse majure strike him again), I don’t see him deserve it. Okay he has a good rider with a best ride at the moment, but no one will be satisfied with him when he gets this year’s trophy with such performance.
Vale though, even if he fails to hold his world title, he will be loved by fans because he does his best everytime he’s on the track. He’s not just a rider, he’s also an entertainer.
So, Nick... if you want to win the championship with such great honor, please, fight on the limit!
Let’s hope the battle goes on until final GP at Valencia...
