The season consisted out of 17 races for the MotoGP class and 16 for the 125cc and 250cc classes, beginning with the Spanish motorcycle Grand Prix on 26 March 2006 and ending with the Valencian Community motorcycle Grand Prix on 29 October. Season summary The 2006 MotoGP season was one of the closest battles in recent years, in which Honda's Nicky Hayden did not claim the championship from Valentino Rossi until the final race of the year. The victory was Hayden's first and only World Championship. Seven different riders claimed Grand Prix victories including first time winners Dani Pedrosa, Toni Elías and Troy Bayliss. Yamaha's Valentino Rossi fought back from a 51-point deficit to lead the championship going into the final rounds. Hayden's fortunes took a dip when he was taken out by his teammate Pedrosa at the penultimate round in Portugal, but he bounced back to win the crown when Rossi crashed in the final race at Valencia. Hayden only won two races to Rossi's five, but the Yamaha suffered a number of mechanical issues that led to more retirements, which allowed Hayden to score more podiums. In addition, the surprise win of Elias in Portugal, with a margin of just 0.002 second over Rossi, proved to be a major decider in the championship. Rossi had given up five points in that round, the same amount by which he was behind Hayden in the final standings. Had there been a tie, Rossi would have been crowned World Champion due to more race victories than Hayden. In the 250cc class, Aprilia's Jorge Lorenzo won his first championship taking 8 victories. Another Aprilia rider took the 125cc crown with Álvaro Bautista also taking 8 wins. 2006 Grand Prix season calendar The following Grands Prix were scheduled to take place in 2006:https://www.yamaha-racing.com/motogp/calendar/all/2006 MotoGP Calendar www.yamaha-racing.com 2018-06-15 2018-06-15 https://web.archive.org/web/20180615135159/https://www.yamaha-racing.com/motogp/calendar/all/2006 deadhttps://www.motorsportmagazine.com/database/championships/motogp/2006-world-motorcycle-championship 2006 World Motorcycle Championship 12 June 2017 RoundDateGrand PrixCircuit 1 26 March ESP Gran Premio betandwin.com de España Circuito de Jerez 2 8 April †† QAT Commercialbank Grand Prix of Qatar Losail International Circuit 3 30 April TUR Grand Prix of Turkey Istanbul Park 4 14 May CHN Polini Grand Prix of China Shanghai International Circuit 5 21 May FRA Alice Grand Prix de France Bugatti Circuit 6 4 June ITA Gran Premio d'Italia Alice Mugello Circuit 7 18 June Catalonia Gran Premi Cinzano de Catalunya Circuit de Catalunya 8 24 June †† NLD A-Style TT Assen TT Circuit Assen 9 2 July GBR Gas British Grand Prix Donington Park 10 16 July DEU betandwin.com Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland Sachsenring 11 23 July † USA Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca 12 20 August CZE Gauloises Grand Prix České republiky Brno Circuit 13 10 September MYS Marlboro Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix Sepang International Circuit 14 17 September AUS GMC Australian Grand Prix Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit 15 24 September JPN A-Style Grand Prix of Japan Twin Ring Motegi 16 15 October PRT bwin.com Grande Prémio de Portugal Autódromo do Estoril 17 29 October Valencia Gran Premio bwin.com de la Comunitat Valenciana Circuit Ricardo Tormo † = MotoGP class only †† = Saturday race Calendar changes The Qatar Grand Prix was moved forward, from 1 October to 8 April.
