While we're talking about Hayden...

Marco & Nicky should do a straight swap, from the British GP onwards. That would be highly interesting
<
(Also unlikely) Maybe after the summer break?

EDIT:Although I still think Nicky shouldn't touch the DUC.

Let me see...

Negative: You are Curve's friend.
Positive: You are a Ducatist
Positive: You like Hayden
Positive: You dislike Pedrosa

Well that's a big negative, but you made up with those positives. You are in the club! Welcome.

Some interesting comments and body language in there.

Hayden, get yourself out of HRC for 2009.
Wow that is the first time that I didn't here Nicky say that he wanted to stay with Honda for sure. He jsut said he wants a good package and a good team. You can tell the garage thing is not his style and he doesn't like that.

Very interesting indeed. Thanks
 
Thanks guys for the warm welcome. If Pedrosa looked like that you would have to like him. Damn look at that Beaver nut!!!!

No.
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (L8Braker @ Jun 12 2008, 12:37 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Both Migs and Parc make good points, it could work but it could be very bad. I believe I read where Marco isn't happy because there are too many electronic nannies on the bike, and they have to be turned on to make good progress while racing. If this is true, Nicky will not like the Duc and will be relegated back to where Marco is now. Nick needs to grab Marco after a race and sit down for a beer and discuss the bike, get it straight from Marco what he could be getting into....as I'm sure this won't happen it's what I would want to do.

Nick on the Duc in WSBK, now that would be interesting. Will Nick consider it? IMO probably not because he thinks it's a step down from the mini-GP series.

Keep in mind, Marco could not get along withe 2007 RC212v on Bridgestones, is a 250 champion, and been in top 4 of MotoGP during the 990 era....And yet the Ducati has not been a magic bullet for him to win the title or even do much better than last year. There is no good evidence it will work for Nicky, either....and remember one more thing...be careful what you wish for (see Biaggi in Repsol HRC for a reference).
 
I dunno Migs...I'm not wishing for Nick to ride the Duc because I'm not convinced it will work for him. I know everyone keeps saying he and Stoner share a similiar riding style but I'm not buying it.
What other factory team options does he have if not on the Duc?

There are no other options...though Kawasaki seems to be shopping and Suzuki may have an open seat at the end of the year. Nicky may have to go to a Satelite team, or leave GPs. And it is not guaranteed Marco's seat will be free.
 
You gotta the love Hayden's answer to the question about what girl he wants to dance with next year.

"I sure don't want to dance with some roach"

Aye, when asked certain questions, his facial expressions spoke volumes. He looked much more anxious and uncomfortable than I've ever seen him. Something is definately going on.

Kawasaki is possible, an all american line up.
 
That was an interesting interview, thanks.

A few comments. Nicky mentioned the bike is a bit difficult to set-up. I wonder if the bike is critically & uniquely engineered that the parameters required by Hayden are outside the parameters, or perhaps the window to make it work is extremely narrow. Where as for Pedrosa, the set-up is more forgivable since tire wear is never an issue with him. (your thoughts)

Nicky tried to avoid the questions regarding support from Honda. Suzi rephrased it by saying she didn't want to get into it either but just wanted to deal with “the facts”. He tried to do his best to stay way from it, but Suzi didn't give up and put it out there that the bike had been built around Pedrosa in mind. (Funny I thought, yet we still have people doubting this fact and saying Nicky simply hasn't adapted). I'll concede that it is partly a lack of adaptation by Hayden (as migs always reminds us) but its rather deceitful not couple this lack of performance and evade the point how his relegated package may effect this dynamic.

Did anybody catch when Suzi says well Dani hasn't held back talking and asks what is it like "sharing a garage with this guy?" Haha, that made me laughs because you can feel and see the contempt in that question from her. Its almost as if she asks, ‘Hey Nicky, how is it having an arrogant little .... as your teammate?' Good for Nicky to stay away from making tabloid headlines. Nicky conceded he has to step it up; as he put it, "gas it up." So he at least puts the responsibility on himself for much of his woes.

Oh yeah, does anybody think Suzi is a little bit hot? She's no umbrella girl, but I wouldn't kick her out of bed. Something about a female talking MotoGP is a turn on.
