WSBK » WSS: Hayes joins Parkalgar

Good news it will be interesting to see how Hayes does in WSS. As these will be new tracks there''s not to much to be expected but he''s a hard worker and I''m sure he''ll do well. It will be nice to see him make the world scene as a regular. It would also be nice to see another US rider in WSB.

Poor replacement for Jonesy.

Too old for starters and unless you dominate a championship in america which he does not, he will achieve nothing in my opinion.

Here's another biased European bashing an American rider again. Josh Hayes has owned the FX championship 2 years in a row and dominated the last few rounds in FX and Supersport. The guy is super fast on the CBR600RR and had the jack@sses at AMA not DQ'd his Honda he would have won the Daytona 200 as well.

He's accomplished more the 90% of existing WSS grid ever has. So think before u put your foot on your mouth kev87.

He will do Jonsey's memory proud!

Kev87 what a load of b0ll0cks!!

You really don't know what you're talking about. The bloke is obviously competent and may well do just the job that Jonesy did.

He won't replace Jonesy and i'm sure neither will he seek to do so. We're all gutted about what happened to Jonesy and will never forget him. Give Hayes a chance, just because he's on Jonesy bike doesn't mean he's bad for it. If you're a Brit i'm embarrassed by your comment.

RIP Jonesy. Good luck Josh.

Finally - one of the faster guys from the AMA getting an opportunity at the World level. To our friends abroad keep your eyes on Josh he's fast and has a real fighting spirit in his riding - you'll love this guy he will push the equipment for everything it's worth.

As for him not knowing the tracks, Umh! I know he will do everything possible to get up to speed as quickly as possible - Go Josh!

RIP Craig Jones and condolences to family and friends.

Just gut wrenching.

Josh may be 'mature' but give him credit for stepping out of his comfort zone onto a new bike in a championship he is unfamiliar with. Lets see how he does.

He is a good guy. Like Colin Edwards without the foul mouth.
It will be nice to see an American in WSS. I can't remember the last time I saw one of my countrymen on a 600 outside the US.



Go Josh!

Good bench mark IMO. A lot of people will be watching him on both continents.His performance could be a factor in how many make the move from AMA to WSS/WSB

the exodus from ama begins - good to see josh hayes, he ll be a good indicator. he s aproved ama winner.

also with all due respect , craig was on the top pack of wss. that s it. this was his first seson on a good bike. it s not like hayes will take a multi world champ s seat

poor replacement? ballsy move i d say
