Mr 'not so' consistant loses out, if he'd been as good as all of the hype then Rossi wouldn't be anywhere near the bloke at this stage of the season. Pity really as I was looking forward to a slugfest, and also to Rossi being a few points closer and then a big climax in Valencia. Now it's the other way round it'll be interesting to see how Hayden copes, now he's behind, come race day...
It will still be a slugfest. Good show by the fledgling Ilmor, 1 point. I wonder if Capirossi will ride the 800 next time out as the title is not for him now?
