A lot of people have been talking about who has to finish where in the race at Valencia. To take the effort out of all that calculation, I have created a little Javascript calculator which will do that for you. Read the instructions, and enjoy!
Instructions:
Select which rider you want to see as World Champion.
Select a finishing position for either rider during the race at Valencia.
The list displays the position where the other rider must finish for the rider you selected to be World Champion.
So, for example. If you want Nicky Hayden to be World Champion, click the Nicky Hayden as World Champion radio button. Then select the position you think he will finish in the race from the dropdown list, and the position which Valentino Rossi must finish below is shown.
Alternatively, you can select the position where you think Valentino Rossi will finish in the race from the dropdown list, and the position which Nicky Hayden must finish at is shown.
If you want Valentino Rossi to be World Champion, do the same thing, but click the Valentino Rossi as World Champion radio button.
