MOTOGP » Hayden: Home fifth as hard as a win

Wow I could have sworn Nicky won a title in the four stroke era............and I don't recall Roberts Jr title being 20 or 30 years ago..............so I guess Americans have 2 out of the 4 champions THIS decade no?

And I did read your post and especially the part about "little nadgers"...........

And I brought up the Aussies because they aren't "Euro" either.

And GPs really fell off here after Schwantz retired and no GP race and WSBK and AMA got huge but now with the GPs back in the States and AMA's demise there will be more Yanks on the scene. I'm sure you guys cant wait............

RawDawg - Jeez you really need to chill out man. Get down to your local Walmart and buy yourself a good sense of humour. If you get anymore uptight your going to give yourself a coronary. It's only a forum ffs, not a life or death issue!

For sure KRJ and Hayden won their titles all fair and square but...neither of them are half the rider the likes of Schwantz, Rainey, Lawson, Spencer, or KR was. KRJ did well in 2000 but his attitude let him down. I'm not going to start the whole Hayden 2006 argument, it's all been done too many times.

Hope your right about a new crop of USA riders headed by Spies. God knows MotoGP could certainly do with some talented non-euros to add to the mix.

Hey RawDawg you forgot one thing when that Aussie flag flies in one corner there is the union jack proud and true. So every Aussie victory is just that little bit British due to the fact they are our worse dressed poorly mannered cousins who (until they see sense) still fly our colours.
God bless the Queen and God bless the colonies

Fifth as good as a win ?? plzzz,get focused nicky ,fifth is fifth ffs,and a win is a win ,if spies finished fifth ?? he would say -fifth aint good enough,i must do better,-your startin to kid yourself nicky

Congratulations Nicky Hayden. Good, very good rider. Hope to see him many more seasons ahead.

@ Math Teacher,

Don't bend the words.. He said fifth as HARD as a win (not as GOOD).

With his current situation, I have to agree...

unless you are stoner, you have to try very hard to even come 5th.... And NH does that.. try hard....

well, you may be a math teacher, but how's ur reading comprehension.......
