I read somewhere else that Elias' pass at the wire two weeks before cost Rossi 5 points...the same amount he lost the championship by!

Yup the minute Rossi went down, the race went from exciting to blah in a hurry. Hayden was in good contention to win regardless. If there's one thing Rossi's not good at, it would be his starts.
Elias did steal 1st from Rossi by a hair at the last race. That certainly helped Nicky, if not in morale at the very least.
What a season.
Next year will be very interesting. 800c, the new Ilmor bike, etc. I can't wait!
