Spain has had a remarkable sporting summer: The national soccer team won the 2010 World Cup, cyclist Alberto Contador won this year's Tour de France and Rafa Nadal is ranked #1 in the world as a tennis player, winning Wimbledon and the French Open along the way. Andrea Dovizioso's crash at Aragon ensured that there would be a Spanish MotoGP champion for only the second time in history, and the first since Alex Criville in 1999, and Andrea Iannone's bad weekend at Motegi ensured there would be a Spanish Moto2 champion as well.
At Sepang, Spain can ensure a clean sweep of all three championships, the first time that a single nation has won the three major championships since Italy produced winners in the 125, 250 and 500cc classes back in 1975. Just a handful more points will rule British rider Bradley Smith out of the 125cc title race, ensuring that all three 2010 champions will hail from Spain. Below is a rundown of who needs how many points to clinch the title in each of the three classes at Sepang on Sunday.
