Great read. Lots of insight into the game. Talking about testing, we get caught up in the final positions of lap times, but we sometimes forget all the .... that's behind the scenes. He gives the "aliens", Vale, Lorenzo, & Stoner props where due. Talks about last year's bad luck and the let down of being punted three races from first lap. Talks about the hard work into making Duc ridable for humans. I like the part about having to drain his arm every hour during testing. How many of us knew that? Good clean honest insight.

It's really hard not to like that guy! I do know one "Hayden Hater" but other than that he just seems like a good guy. Look, he didn't even get upset when Gator clung to him like a 4 year old in the paddock last year so that's gotta say something for his patience with the fans............
 
I thought it was funny when he said he would trade Pedrosa for his tiny hands and feet.....but I'm sure he wouldn't want to trade wee's!

LOL Not only that but i'm surprised he hasn't slapped a restraining order on Jumkie. All ........ aside you have got to love his hard work ethic and never give up attitude. If he finishes top 3 in the standings this year it will be quite the accomplishment, because to be honest I don't see any one getting past the Fiat Yamahas. Go Nicky!
 
What to add? Thanks for taking the time to scan and upload those pages. My admiration for Nicky never wanes.

And yes the Yamahas are looking like they'll be at the front all the time - but then again, the reliability factor has

yet to show it's potential effects this early in the season. Makes you wonder what kind of odds bettors are taking on this one.
