Ángel Nieto, Jorge Martínez ‘Aspar', Álex Crivillé, Emilio Alzamora and Sito Pons have all been Repsol riders and between them they have won an astonishing 22 world titles. With the MotoGP championship having a well earned break the Repsol Champions stepped in to analyse the season so far…..

EA:In my opinion Rossi is a tough man to beat, so I think that it is not. I think that Valentino Rossi, if he has no problems will win the championship. What is in fact true is that there is a change of generation in the displacement, with young talented riders moving into it, like Pedrosa, Stoner and others who will arrive. There is a new generation, but what happens is that if things turn out like they have to I still think that Rossi is still one step ahead of the rest. Although Stoner has things in his favour, he has a guaranteed chance of winning.

SP:I think that the change of generation in MotoGP started last year, in 2006 and what is happening this year is that this new generation is establishing itself, and this will be even more noticeable in 2008 with the arrival of more youngsters. That will be the definitive moment, which on the other hand is what happens in real life.
