Is it just me, or does Dani look like he could be Jeff Gordon's little brother...

Yep, but it still has Hayseed at the same "ranking" and has Rossi right where he belongs along with the previous and pts ranking. =)

Re: The Valencia showdown : Dani the sockcutter speaks.
Damn, wouldn't it be cool if there was a way to compare these types of stats and assign a value to them that could then be used to determine the relative placement of the riders and teams....

Help me understand...
Hayden is ranked #2, with only 1 rider in a points position capable of bumping him. He is the only rider that can take 1st from Rossi, and arguably has a sporting chance to do it...

I bet if you hung an offer in the paddock, you would get 10 riders that would sign on the line to chop their left one off to be in a similar "predicament"...

You gotta help me understand this "ranking" thing, cause I guess I'm missing it...

And brings them back, drunk and stumbling on your doorstep. At least that's what Rossi said.

Let me help you understand you...err old grasshopper. I posted a ranking of laps lead. Abtech asked for a ranking of last laps led. Hayden is in approx the same place on both of those stats....

I thought it was NASCAR that gave points and prizes for "laps lead" or something like that...
