7 days and counting until the GP field are back in action after their summer break. The second half of the season kicks off at Brno in the Czech Republic, race day is Sunday 28th August.
The Brno circuit was built in the early 80's in a natural bowl, banked in places offering spectators an excellent view. Brno features constant changes in elevation and sweeps across forested hillsides, it's fast undulating corners test rider talent and engineering to the limit.
In the top class, Biaggi won in 2000, and Rossi was top of the podium in 2001 on the 500 2-strokes. The first race of the 4 stroke era was won in 2001 by Rossi, in 2002 it was Biaggi, 2003 Rossi again, and last year the race was won by Gibernau.
The three attachments below show the World Championship standings in the three GP classes after the last round in Germany. As you can see, the smaller the class, the closer the championship!
It looks like Danny Pedrosa could have the 250 championship sewn up within a few more rounds, meaning we'll be seeing him in the top class for 2006. I predict that provided he's on a decent ride that by this point next year he'll have been on the podium and will become Rossi's only real challenger. Move over Biaggi, Caparossi, Barros etc - the young blood's coming through!
