Wouldn't that be nice, but what you asking is: Would the other two Spanish riders please not fight for the podium, so that an Italian can snatch the championship from a Spaniard on Spanish soil.

I'd imagine Pedrosa and Marquez to be up the front too. But there would be a bunch of riders that wouldn't be in contention that could say whether they condone Marquez's overall riding style or Rossi's one off outburst.

Pretty stoked with this - scratch built from my own mind...
