MOTOGP » PICTURES: Nicky Hayden’s special Laguna livery

I love that Ducati give him the chance to have a special livery for one of his home races.
It just reminds me of how strict Honda were about it and wouldn't really let him do things like this...

Arrrrr why mess with a classic it looks like clown vomit and kids crayons

it looks like pramac

"clown vomit & kids crayons"... the yanks will love it then!

Good luck Nicky x x x

Beware the curse of the home race advantage

Comments are typical of Brit snobbery. Never could understand why they're such snobs. Because they are stupid enough to fund a defunct aristocracy

What is that? All of the designers they have running around Italy that they could have used and Nicky and Ducati came up with that?

And Makaveli go F**k yourself. And that's coming from a "Yank".

I do like special liveries,
this one reminds me of Evel Knievel
with maybe just a hint of Ronald McDonald

"it looks like pramac"
maybe he is just getting a feel for what next years bike will look like

Some people who post on this site are possibly the most ignorant in the world. If you truly understood the purpose of racing, you would realize it is a business. Yes there are immense amounts of passion and dedication but at the end of the day it is to sell bikes. There is a reason why companies advertise as world champions, so they can also claim they sell the best bikes. It is what you call marketing and that is what Ducati is doing right now. Good for Nicky that they let him do this, but its also because the U.S. has a very stong Ducati following and they want to sell that limited edition bike and this will expose it further. Also thats a 2010 model 848, so maybe Nicky on the GP10?
