I double checked just in case some obscure dude raced a Ducati in 125 or something back in the day but I came up with nothing...so your boy Nicky will be the first American to race a Ducati in MotoGp history! Yayyyy!!!

This is good to hear... his lap times. Hayden mentioned yesterday he'd know in 30 minutes if he was going to be competitive on the bike.
Just came across his impessions of the Ducati here: http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2008/Oct/081027-d9.htm Last edited by sfarson; 10-28-2008 at 12:02 AM.. |

I think this bodes extremely well for Hayden. The most famously Italian motorcycle brand took the step to outfit his bike in stars and stripes to honor his Country, very cool. Looks like they're already doing everything possible to make him feel at home which is exactly what Honda doesn't do...unless your names Pedrosa.
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.

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.

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!
