as lock would say...ill get my coat and join frosty in the gutter
come on down rog!

i think nicks problem is he has'nt got a smooth style. this is why i think he'd be better off on the duc. if u ever noticed the airiel shots when hayden was fighting up front he's always takin the long way thru the turns. sachsenring last year there were a lot of excellent shots from the air & as nh fought with val, marco & dani he was always losing ground in the turns. sliding is not the fast way thru a turn. your taking a longer route & scrubbin off to much speed. he's gonna have to change his style of riding & i think he's tryin to do just that. don't look like it's workin out for him tho.

Yeah, and even when he wins the race, he seems to be third in the podium!

I always wondered why he didn’t get on the top spot if he had won!


PD. Not that I am to tall though...

In 2006, Hayden won only 2 races and finished on the podium in 8 (less than half the races). Rossi on the other hand won 5 races and finished on the podium 10 times but DNF 3 times. So, thanks to Honda reliability Hayden still won the championship.
Honda reliability? You say that as if the bike drove itself safely to the finish line every race. Vale fans always try to down play Hayden's actions. Come on even Rossi admitted that Hayden did a good job being consistant.

Yeah I totally agree with that. His Dirtbike roots come shining through even on a GP bike. It's not going to work as well on a 800cc so this might be a rough season for him.

Well I for one hope he gets his act together. Hate to see that sad puppy dog look on that gorgeous face of his

well maybe you'll get the chance to personally console him.

Nah....he's not tall enough for me

what's tall enough? u know that short has it's advantages. it's a shorter distance down.... oh never mind...

Mind in the gutter as always Frosty huh??
Tall enough is at least my height. 5'10. And even then I'm only just beginning to get comfortable! hehe..though for someone as cute and as talented as Nicky I might be willing to make a small exception.

i thought as much...

Despite the so called problems Honda have had, Im begining to feel less and less sympathy for Hayden. How can a world champ not adapt to a machine just because its a little differant. Toni, Melandri, Checa have all had flashes of brilliance but no sign of quality from Hayden.

Things still no better although now I'm actually wanting him to do well.
I'll second that...he can't really do any worse.

Same here!!

I feel a bit sorry for the guy tbh

This season things aren't going well at all!!!
I'm not his fan, but I do hope he will have better results soon!

GO NICKY!!!
