The '''2005 Valencian Community motorcycle Grand Prix''' was the last round of the [[2005 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|2005 MotoGP Championship]]. It took place on the weekend of 4–6 November 2005 at the [[Circuit Ricardo Tormo]].
==Race==
This race featured a battle between Marco Melandri and Nicky Hayden, and a fightback to third place from a bad qualifying from Valentino Rossi, who by then was already crowned world champion.
Before the start of the weekend, the Factory Yamaha Team had unveiled a special, one-off 'retro' livery to commemorate Yamaha's fiftieth anniversary and their very successful year in racing, replacing their main sponsor and its colours ([[Gauloises]] and dark blue) with the traditional white with red and black blocks/stripes.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/76775/1/yamaha-confirms-retro-valencia-livery|title=Yamaha confirms 'retro' Valencia livery.|date=November 3, 2005|website=Crash}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/76772/1/pictures-yamaha-unveils-retro-valencia-livery|title=Pictures: Yamaha unveils 'retro' Valencia livery.|date=November 3, 2005|website=Crash}}</ref> They ran a similar livery before at the [[2005 United States motorcycle Grand Prix|United States]] round but that livery consisted of yellow instead of white.
After sixteen rounds, Valentino Rossi has already won the title at the [[2005 Malaysian motorcycle Grand Prix|Malaysian]] round.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.crash.net/motogp/race-report/76531/1/capirossi-wins-rossi-crowned-2005-champion|title=Capirossi wins, Rossi crowned 2005 champion.|date=September 25, 2005|website=Crash}}</ref> Rossi has since then increased his title lead to 351 points. Second is Marco Melandri with 195 points and a close third is Nicky Hayden with 186 points.
On Saturday, [[Sete Gibernau]] clinched his the final pole position of the season - his fifth - with a time of 1:31.874. Second is [[Marco Melandri]] who is +0.237 seconds behind and third is [[Nicky Hayden]] who is +0.343 seconds behind. The second row of the grid consists out of [[Carlos Checa]] in fourth place, [[Max Biaggi]] in fifth place and [[Colin Edwards]] in sixth place. World champion [[Valentino Rossi]] had a poor qualifying result after a crash and starts a lowly fifteenth. Suzuki test rider [[Nobuatsu Aoki]] replaces [[Kenny Roberts Jr.]] who is still recovering from a broken left wrist he sustained after a big highside during Friday practice at the [[2005 Australian motorcycle Grand Prix|Australian]] round, having then also confirmed his split with the team shortly after.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/76623/1/200kph-roberts-highside-as-bad-as-it-gets|title=200kph Roberts highside 'as bad as it gets'.|date=October 14, 2005|website=Crash}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/76718/1/roberts-and-suzuki-split|title=Roberts and Suzuki split.|date=October 22, 2005|website=Crash}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/76787/1/secret-software-helps-aoki|title='Secret software' helps Aoki.|date=November 4, 2005|website=Crash}}</ref>
