At Motegi he smashed his rivals and set a new world record: he has won the race by 9.006 seconds to Biggie who came in second place, thats the biggest distance ever from the winner to the second placed rider.
He also has the record of the biggest distance between the Pole Position time and the second place time: Valencia 2005 when he qualified in first position, 0.622 seconds faster than Biggie.
Skider is the fourth rider from Spain to win races in MotoGP500online, joining: Biggie, Mask and Zeramic.
He is the only rider to have won the title before the final race of the year, winning it with 2 races before the end of the season.

After winning the championship, Skider said:
"Thanks to everybody, its a huge satisfaction to win this championship because this is the best gp500 online championship in the world and the best riders in the world so I cant believe it yet, I always raced looking to have fun race by race and I enjoyed alot this season, my best year so far indeed. Few months ago I've won the WSS champ (gr8 champ too) and now this MotoGP champ, thanks to all who made it possible!
My start of the season wasnt so good as I expected, but after 2 disastrous races, I kept my head cold and I made very good races until now. The key of the victory was ride as constant as I could, from the first lap to the last lap, thats my strategy. But every race was different, I believed in my own possibilities and thats all.
However as I said last week, many guys have quit this gr8 champ and the level (not in laptimes) has dropped compared to 2005. Last year there were almost 7 or 8 guys fighting for the victory, this year we were only 3 or 4, its sad but I hope a new generation of riders will come soon."
