| Round 13 of MotoGP takes place this weekend in Malaysia
and all the action will be live on Ten Sports. Ten sports coverage
of the race begins on September 10th at 9-30IST. With five rounds
remaining the Championship is still wide open with as many as five riders still
capable of being crowned 2006 champion. Championship leader Nicky
Hayden will be looking to put behind him his poor performance in the Czech Republic
last time out and try to cement his position at the top of the points table.
Team mate Dani Pedrosa was able to close the gap on Hayden to just twenty
five points with his third place last time out and his consistency has led to
many pundits predicting that he could well be the man to finally end Valentino
Rossi’s run of five successive titles. The diminutive Champion
has moved in to third place in the rankings a further thirteen points back and
with five races left you certainly cannot rule him out from claiming a sixth straight
championship. Marco Melandri and Loris Capirossi, winner in the
Czech Republic, are two and twelve points further back respectively and they too
have outside chances of capturing the title by the time the final race takes place
in Spain in late October. Timings: September 10th 9-30IST
