Will Hayden salvage his season?

I think Haydens good for 6th, 5th would be a stretch, Dovi would have to give some up for 5th to happen. Came across this pic in Roadracerx.com Haydens foot injury. Couldn't imagine having to weight a footpeg with that!4927:dbimage4261_200.jpg]

After I thought about him sandbagging it at Motegi, I wondered if his foot had something to do with it. He picked up his pace remarkably when he was about to be caught.

He must have hurt himself much worse than reported.

Before yesterday i would have agreed.Now its not as much of a stretch.Barring any more bad luck,6th looks more probable than not and 5th is well within reach.Considering he was out of the top 10 at one point,5th or 6th is nothing to be ashamed of.That solidly puts him as one of the top 10 riders in the world which isnt bad.If he can ride the Ducati,which there is no guarantee he can,i look for a top 3-4 finish in next years championship.Or,he could end up like Melandri.
