Narrowest title winning margin in either WSB or MotoGP

Yoong Montoya · 8 Dec 2003, 23:07 (Ref:807034)

I'm not sure, but my guess would be WSB 2002. Bayliss only lost the title by inches in the final race to Edwards!

corser, slight & fogarty in 99 - title went down to wire in japan when corser fell in warm up

fogarty won by 4 points over slight i think

250cc in 2000. Oliver Jacque was leading Shinya Nakano by 2 points before final race. Those two were racing hard for whole the race and Jacque passed Nakano on the final straight, winning the race (and so the championship) by 0,014 seconds!

Wow! I'd love to see that! Although it's hard to beat Imola 2002 for madman racing

Where was that 250cc race held BTW? Was it at Valencia?

Phillip Island always produces great racing

The best race I can remember seeing there was Rossi Vs Barros in MotoGP 2002.

Yea that was awesome! Eurosport promoted the whole MotoGp program with that video everyday for like a whole season. Jacque made that move at the exit of the last corner -if memory serves me- like 5 laps to go or so, but Nakano took the lead back at the end of the straight, then Jacque acted like he gave it up (he obviously knew that it doesn't worth to try that maneuvre again but in the last lap) and then in the last lap he pulled that move again! It was one of the greatest moments I've ever seen in any sport event! Poor Nakano was very disappointed though
