Pneumatic form to decide Hayden's future?

Sayonara Hayden.
He's had his day in the sun, AMA awaits.

I wouldn't be too optimistic for Hayden anymore...Maybe Indian ??

it's so strange, Nicky did a great warm up and a great Qualification
and then he went backwards in races. It's not his fault.Something's is wrong with his bike.I don't think
he has the same bike as his team mate. But anyway Nicky will always
be my favorite rider and I will support him wherever he goes. We love u Nick!

Honda made it fairly clear when they signed the midget that he was their golden boy.
Despite his 2006 championship, Hayden's been relegated to the back of the bus on the repsol team. Pedrosa gets preferential attention of him, which hurts Hayden's ability to develop his bike to his preference.

If Hayden gets axed, just remember, it's not all Hayden's fault...Honda gets a large part of the blame.

John do you really believe Honda is to blame for Haydens dismal performance, utter b0llocks, they pay a lot of money to go racing, pay Hayden a shed load of money to ride and develop and in return what does he give, naff all. Get real, the man ain't up to it. Honda can't wait for the end of the season to dismiss this freeloader, and who will want him, maybe Indian (that's Indian Enfield).

Don't be surprised if Dovi starts getting Honda development parts before Flukey

Do I believe it? Yes, though it's just my opinion. It takes both the team and the rider to develop a bike. Why is it that Pedrobot can get the bike developed to his liking, while Hayden's input goes ignored (for the most part)? Honda has had the reputation as having the deepest pockets in MotoGP...yet they can't come up with the parts for BOTH of their riders? Odd, that. WON'T is more likely the answer there...

Don't disparage Hayden's riding quite so quickly, either. His 06 title came on a bike that ate clutches for breakfast right off the launch. His last few races of that year were ridden with a broken (and plated collar bone) and a separated shoulder. Not many others would have

for me pneuma need to accelerate Hayden to fit his style riding, if not, wellcome in Marlboro days, wave good bye Melandri.

Gawd, I hope not.
Surely Ducati learned their lesson with Giberneau not to sign old has beens?

@john

i understand what u stated is ur opinion, but since this is a discussion forum,id like to state a few things, for starters honda didnt give dani any preferential treatment when he was signed up and this is the same year that nicky won.
last year the bike sucked, not an excuse, but dani made the most of it...again u cant call that preferential treatment, the word doesnt fit, its not like they gave dani secret go fast parts,wtf man seriously...conspiracy theories can come off the woodwork ...sometime seeing things for what they are helps...nicky is doing a dumbass job of developing the bike...he had the bike all thru winter to do something to get setup right!!!

Dani can win on a pocket bike as he is so small. It could never work, making the Honda fit both Dani and Hayden. I'll like to see Hayden on a "full size" bike like the Yamaha or the Ducati before we can "judge" him. Hayden is far better the CE, at least on Sundays. Stoner and Hayden could be a nice combination. At least the Rossi lovers coulf focus all the crapy hate on one team!

Didn't they,though? Last year, the RCV was Danni-sized, and it was obvious to anybody with eyes. The bike was a general failure, though some good lessons were learned. This year, the bike is a small bit larger, but still closer to the midget for proportion than it is to Hayden.

Something else to consider for this year, as well.. What is the weight difference between Hayden and Pedrosa? Acceleration and suspension settings which work for one but not the other must be considered. Parts and development are being concentrated on Pedrosa..the smaller of the two...yet none seem to be being brought to bear for Hayden.

Nothing new, for a company that treats it champions like crap...

WTF? ... I think it's very obvious that Dani is a far better rider that Nicky. He just has the "riding" it's not just the bike and setup. And if you think that that Honda is a "pocket" size bike, read the specs of the bike and you'll see that the size of the bike is very "normal".

It's a pity that Hayden cannot keep the pace and I'm really sorry for him, but it's time to go...

Based on what have seen from Nicky this year, he just does not seem to be able to mix it up with the rest of the boys at the beginnig of the race. He always loses time in the first sets of corners and gets put around by most of the other riders. Basically, he rides like a scared rider. He needs get meaner or grow some balls. In the past except last year, he has had the bike to push his way through with pure power from the Honda, but now that he no longer has the power advantage, he does not seem to be able to offer much to HRC. He still is a top ten rider, but that is not going to fly at a top tier team. See you in WSBK or AMA Nicky!

Mr. Spoon
2006 NH had a rocketship JUST for NH (DP rode 05 bike).Despite this, NH needed Rossi's 4 DNFs(not his fault)to win,plus Edwards(dumb****)giveaway win at assen.In addition to others out limping about.Separated shoulder?Sure.That is why he kept testing at Valencia…But wait, Lorzeno with broken ankles recently beat him.

07 Bike's bodywork was smaller,but frame dimensions were the virtually the same.Do you think that a frame is made according to rider's size? Please reply.Honda made special bodywork and tailsection just for NH. Furthermore,VR is about my height & I tower over JL.. any complaints from either one?Bike is just the same. Fact:Hayden finished in 07 behinde lesser bikes.

Hayden to LCR and Dovi to Repsol.

08. NH does mammoth testing & development Miles more than anybody. DP is dismayed.Qatar testing.DP finally gets to ride the bike and suggests some changes.Where does NH finish? DP? Come Jerez. In view of DP's success, NH tries DP's bike and finishes 4th. DP remarks that NH testing was a waste of time.

NH gets and has gotten everything he wants.Period. He had the choice to use the pneumatic valve engine, but (wisely) chose not to.

Basically w/o a vastly superior bike & injured competitors with DNFs, NH has,so far,shown his true worth.NH is on the best bike & team for years,& without the massive luck of 06, all he would have is 3 wins to his name...

You will never find a bigger Hayden fan than me, but unless he makes a drastic change, even I admit that someone else should have that garage spot. I hope he does figure it out. Maybe on a ducati next year, but if his results don't change quickly, Duc won't want him either. I would like to see him racing in World superbike on a Honda, but I figure he will consider it some kind of demotion. and it might be.

Nicky is a great rider. He beat Valentino Rossi at this time
He was the leader of the championship.That's talent!while
Pedrosa has the best bike and still is second. i don't care if he won today
but I don't think he is gonna be the champ this year.
if it's not Nicky the champ, I want and hope Stoner to win the title again.
Nicky will be allright, he is a great rider and a nice person. God Bless You Nicky
and comeback to Amas, we love you here.

Nicky Haydon is going to Ducati.
