Guess who's testing a Ducati at Valencia today?

I think Indy this year showed that Hayden is one of the more emotionally driven riders, he gets motivated by where he's racing, he was also excited to have just signed the contract with Ducati and his riding showed his enthusiasm. All riders try to ride better at their home tracks but he was hanging with Rossi until his tires went.
Ducati looks like a really good fit for Hayden so far.

not only that... but we've all seen as you've said what he's capable of when he's motivated... imagine now throwing a manufacture that he feels is supporting him... how motivated will he be to perform for them?

I've never been huge on Nicky... nor have I been down on him either... but the more i watch him... it's hard NOT to like him... dudes got tallent.

Same here. I DESPISED him when he beat Rossi in 06 but seeing him go through the hardships with Honda and keep his head up makes him endearing. I'm pulling for Rossi as always but I'd love to see Hayden do well next year. Seeing him whip up on Stoner and Pedrosa would be sweet.

Fuck Nicky Hayden!

I just hopes he places better than the HRC boys in the points next year. That would put HRC back on their ass and perhaps make them re-examine how they run (or let Piug run) the show!
