Round 13 of MotoGP takes place this weekend in Malaysia and all the action will be live on Ten Sports.
Ten sports coverage of the race begins on September 10th at 9-30IST.
With five rounds remaining the Championship is still wide open with as many as five riders still capable of being crowned 2006 champion.
Championship leader Nicky Hayden will be looking to put behind him his poor performance in the Czech Republic last time out and try to cement his position at the top of the points table.
Team mate Dani Pedrosa was able to close the gap on Hayden to just twenty five points with his third place last time out and his consistency has led to many pundits predicting that he could well be the man to finally end Valentino Rossi’s run of five successive titles.
The diminutive Champion has moved in to third place in the rankings a further thirteen points back and with five races left you certainly cannot rule him out from claiming a sixth straight championship.
Marco Melandri and Loris Capirossi, winner in the Czech Republic, are two and twelve points further back respectively and they too have outside chances of capturing the title by the time the final race takes place in Spain in late October.
Timings: September 10th 9-30IST
