    So. Talmasci or Faubel?

    For me it's Talmasci for going for the win that meant his team mate lost
    the championship. But in Spain?

    Talmasci has a big advantage with his 10 point lead. As long as he
    doesn't crash or break down, it should be his. As I understand it
    Talmasci is on a 2006 Aprilia, whereas his teammates are on 2007
    machines. Does this mean Talmasci is a significantly better rider than
    Faubel and Gadea, or simply that there isn't much to choose between
    the 2006 and 2007 bikes ?

    Cheers,

    That was nerve racking to watch. Faubel's only chance was to get in
    front of Talmasci and force him to slow down back into the chasing pack.
    It got pretty interesting with some dodgy moves. But good on Talma for
    holding his nerve.

    Rossi looked devastated. Did his body give out or his bike? There was
    some suggestion that he had a braking problem, possibly with the engine
    management, but more likely is that he simply lost control as his wrist
    gave out. First time he's been out of the top 2 since his very first
    season in 125.

    And as for De Angelis. Yet another second.

    Yeah, that was a little too close at times. I didn't care for Faubel's "slow
    down" tactics. And him telling the worlds press that was exactly what he was
    going to do doesn't make it any better.

    Maybe I was influenced by the commentators but Mamola said from watching the
    on-board, his bike suddenly broke. It did seem to suddenly jerk in the
    braking area, but like you said it could have been him making a mistake
