I was able to interview Ducati MotoGP rider Nicky Hayden today here at the Wroom event in Madonna di Campiglio. I have not seen Hayden out on the slopes so I started the interview with that question.

Q. Nick I have not see you out skiing.
A. Because I don't ski. I do not want to look like a clown out there, and am afraid of being hurt. I do not really want to get hurt doing something on a snowboard. I am much more of a fan of warm weather. You know, sun and the beach ...

Q. Nicky, who is your toughest competitor ever?

A. I have had a lot them, especially during my younger dirt track days. But if you think of my GP career, then that answer is Valentino Rossi. No doubt. He is winner of so many races, he has won nine championships, and he is so strong. Much stronger than anybody else... [haha, this will get the Faithful some amo.]

Q. What in your career is more personally frustrating, being passed for the win by Scott Parker at Del Mar Mile race or being knocked down by Dani Pedrosa in Portugal 2006?

A. That Pedrosa thing ... I am never gonna forget that and how I felt. But also the Scott Parker win... that still hurts me. I still feel the pain about that in my chest. Damn, I really needed that win on a Mile track for the Grand Slam.

Q. I need quick answer with my next question. Straight thinking and no diplomacy. Do you think that Mat Mladin is one of the top five riders in the world?

A. No.

Q. Okay... let's play the game some more. Let's say you were watching TV and Megan Fox is on one channel and an early 1990s 500 GP race is on the other. Which one would you choose to watch?

A. Maaaan ... this is not fair. This is too tough.. Ohhh man, I do not know. Definitely I would not miss the race, especially with Schwantz, Rainey and all the old guys... but Megan Fox....

Okay, I have the solution. I would bring up my computer, watch the race on TV and Megan Fox on my computer. Even if it was just a picture of her.. [Megan Fox, are you ....... kidding me, I can think of 100 hotter girls. But yeah, I wouldn't kick here out of bed though.]

Q. Are you still living in the apartment above your parent's garage? Do you ever intend to move from your apartment?

A. Yes, actually I have just bought myself a house. Not long ago... and it is not far away from there.

Q. What is your opinion about Daytona 200 race, which is 600 now instead Superbikes?

A. That is sad, man ... really sad. It is the greatest race in USA, and they are running it on some 600s. You know, I really have strong feeling about Daytona. I have won many races in my life so far, I was MotoGP world champion, but winning the Daytona 200 is a special feeling. That race and win still has a special place in my heart. Winning there was something special, especially because it was the track of Mr. Daytona, Scott Russel. He was my childhood hero ...

Q. Okay, lets get back to these days. What are your goals for 2010 season? Do you hope for more luck, especially now since Alex De Angelis is gone to Moto 2?

A. Heh, heh ... yes. I hope for more luck and more consistency. I would like to show what I am capable of and I am really looking for some good results this year.

ENDS

I found myself asking if the interviewer was 13 years old. But it ended up pretty funny and insightful actually. I probably would have asked him similar questions.

As a staunch defender of the 200 whether it be 600's or SBK's it's great to hear Nicky echo my sentiments.
Get your ... there Jumkie!

Megan Fox???????
Am I the only one that doesn't think she's hot?

Mladin bitchslapped. He should have followed up by asking if he was in the top 10

You might be.

Like I said, "I can think of 100 chicks hotter"...but that's only because I live on Playboy's website (among others). Like I said, I wouldn't kick here out of bed...

The answer would have still been NO. (Btw expect Mladin to make some self serving tweet in the near future.)

Bit of a "gumby" Interview that ......

especially the bit about Mat Mladin why would the interviewer ask that?

Surely the interviewer thought to himself, Mladin would be ranked just below Hayden, and neither of them are top 10! what was the purpose of that question?

I dont think i have ever heard Mladin claim he is one of the top 5 riders in the world. A more appropriate question would have been,is Matt Mladin one of the top 5 Superbike riders in the world,and as of last year, his answer would have been,yes.

Megan Fox???????

I don't get the buzz either.

Megan's bod is OK, if slightly scrawny, but her face is rather generic, sorely lacking either beauty or character. Her lips are also ill defined, having more than a touch of that puffy collagen injection look.

I watched the first transformer movie after it came out on video and I remember saying that that I was surprised that such a big budget movie would cast a girl for the lead that really wasn't that hot.
I had no idea who she was and months later all you heard was this incredible Megan Fox buzz about she was the hottest chick ever. When I found out they were talking about the transformers chick I said HUH? That chick? No way. She not ugly for sure but hottest ever or even close to that no way
