Sepang Review: Don't panic
The 2007 MotoGP season is already dividing onlookers, with doomsayers bemoaning a 'boring' year. Toby Moody reckons everyone needs to take a deep breath and just calm down a little...
There we were this time last year after the penultimate race, buzzing from the thrilling action we had just seen at the Portuguese Grand Prix where Toni Elias pipped Valentino Rossi to the line by just 0.002 seconds. It was an epic.
Nicky Hayden, the then world championship leader, had been knocked off by his team-mate Dani Pedrosa in a truly unbelievable move that was never going to come off. Pedrosa's mentor, Alberto Puig, later said that even though Pedrosa was 34 points behind Hayden going into the race, the championship was still achievable. Yeah, right.
