MOTOGP » Q&A: Nicky Hayden.

Ermmmm as much as I have enjoyed your comments wasn't this thread about Nicky. Yeah Nicky had a bad year. Machine problems,tyre problems and,I'm a massive fan of his but hell I'll say it,he made some mistakes. That was this season. Stoner had a cracker of a year and good luck to the kid,but just like Nicky this year he has to defend it next year. Lets hope next year all the bikes are as good as the Ducs. As Wil said it's ok to follow a rider but concentrate on the whole sport,see the bigger picture. Any one of these guys can win it again next year,after all this is a sport of passion,skill and,believe it or not,Luck.

Nicky is a good rider. Not only that but a gentleman, I didn't notice hopkins rush over to congratulate Stoner. Tell you what why don't Honda hire you for next year if your such an authority on racing!!

No Steve you misread my original message. Last year Nicky's bike was different,this year he is riding a bike designed specifically for Pedrosa.

Yes Nicky is last years champ but how can he be underperforming when he is riding a bike that has been designed for his team mate who is a great deal shorter than him. The only peolpe under performing are Honda. Even last year they gave the lead bike to Pedrosa and Nicky had to make do with a botch up. I too think Nicky should see about a change of team,but then maybe this is Hondas plan. Lisa
