This is my 1st post here. I've read the post about sacking Hayden & it's quite ridiculous if you ask me. The question regarding the gap between Ducati team riders has to be asked directly to the Ducati team, hopefully one of the Media people who has the opportunity will do so, LIVE! It almost...
he obviously can't tame the beast, he can't beat injured pedrosa, he is on melandi's performance level, he's destroying their bikes due to his own inability and in process he could destroy himself as we have seen today. he is hopeless. ducati should sack him for his own good and put kallio on...

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>"Will Hayden ever win a race for Ducati?"
Yes.
Yes in 2012 he will win win the WSBK championship for them.

Put World Championship on side, he is not capable for that. 2006 doesn't count, Hayden certainly is flukiest WC ever.
Now, will he ever win a race for Duc? Of course I mean win in a straigh fight with Rossi, Casey, Lorenzo, Dovi & Pedrosa... not on that what Capi is done at Motegi 2006.
