Loris Capirossi and his Ducati takes Japan again in what was an excellent race. Capirossi had the pole position, and was never out of first place. The battle beyond that was very interesting.Nicky Hayden had another bad start, and the leader in points for the World Championship had his second week in a row trying desperately to place as high as possible.
He was battling for 5th place, and on the last lap, Nakano crashes, giving Hayden the 5th spot.
Pretty bad luck for Nakano, the hometown hero.
Valentino Rossi and Marco Melandri had a great battle for 2nd. Melandri was in 2nd for the majority of the race, went wide on a corner, and that allowed Rossi the room he needed to pass him a short time later.
Rossi, pictured right, is probably the most fun to watch, and bears a creepy resemblance to Mango from Saturday Night Live.
Two more races left this season.

Do you think Hayden can hold on?
Hi benny. Nice to see someone new around here!
I think Hayden needs to finish strong in the next two races and compete with Rossi. He's had two poor starts in a row, and if he can overcome the technical issues his bike has given him, he can maintain. I have to wonder if this will be Rossi's last year...if it is, I would expect him to pour it on even more.
