September, Sepang -
With Sepang hosting the penultimate round
of the year and Casey Stoner in red hot
form, the 2007 Polini Malaysian Motorcycle
Grand Prix could well be the stage to
crown the young Australian as the new
MotoGP champion.
Based on his sensational individual
performance and the supreme power of
Ducati Desmosedici GP7 machine this
season, closest rival Valentino Rossi
would need to perform beyond his personal
best to stop the 21-year Stoner from
joining fellow Australians Mick Doohan and
Wayne Gardner as kings of the premier
class.
While both Doohan and Gardner carved their
names as champions in the era of the 500cc
class, Stoner would be the first rider to
pen his name as the first MotoGP champion
of the new 800cc machines.
Fans of Rossi, however, would not be
easily convinced that fight for the world
title is over until it is actually over.
The seven-time world Italian is not called
"The Doctor' without reason and Rossi is
expected to produce another sensational
'formula' to take the battle for the
coveted crown to the wire at the final
round in Valencia on November 4.
Then, of course, there are 17 other riders
with not less than 10 of them capable of
turn the tables against Stoner and Rossi
at the Malaysian GP. World champion Nicky
Hayden, Dani Pedrosa, Marco Melandri,
Loris Capirossi, Toni Elias, Chris
Vermeulen and Alex Barros have all beaten
both Stoner and Rossi before; and they are
more than capable to get the better of the
two leading riders again in Sepang.
With the battle in the 250cc and 125cc
equally thrilling and a long list of
exciting support races incorporated in the
race programme, fans can expect a weekend
fully packed with racing actions and
excitement at the Polini Malaysian
Motorcycle Grand Prix 2007, scheduled from
October 19 to 21.
Friday, October 19 will feature the free
practice sessions and the first qualifying
session for the 125cc and 250cc as well as
the qualifying sessions for the support
races - the Malaysian Super Series'
Superbike Championship, 600cc Supersport
Championship, 250cc Aprilia Cup, 150cc
Aprilia Cup and the 135cc Production Bike
Championship.
On Saturday, October 20, fans can catch
the conclusive qualifying rounds for all
three rounds - the 125cc, 250cc and the
MotoGP classes - as well as the opening
race for all the support races.
Sunday, October 21 will be Race Day and
fans could witness history in the crowning
of Casey Stoner as the 2007 champion or
another sensational ride by The Doctor to
keep his championship hopes alive in the
MotoGP class as well as thrilling races of
the 125cc and 250cc riders and the
