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...
miserable seasons on honda except that accidentally happened championship in 2006, all teammates but biaggi destroyed him - even veteran barros - his prospects with ducati doen't look good so far, so will he be in moto gp after another shameful season or he will try to find his luck in wsbk...

Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. announced today that road racer Roger Hayden has been granted a leave of absence from the team and will not participate in the upcoming Daytona 200 in Daytona Beach, Fla.
According to Mike Preston...
Hi All, I don't have membership to motogp.com anymore and I was wondering if anyone knows where else I can find Haydens post race interview after the above race. Its the one where he is asked about the dangers of the sport (after the big turn 1 crash) and his response is 'It ain't fishin'!'
Cheers
Hey Everyone,
I haven't been into MotoGP long enough to be a die-hard fan of any rider in particular, but in the few races I've seen and the history I've read, I've come to like Nicky Hayden quite a bit.
I've been following closely on his switch to Ducati, and I'm worried he may have a rough...
Interviewed in the recent RR World Hayden said: "I told my manager, Go get me that ride." Hayden said, I'd told him I'd ride for free and fly coach if I had to."
It says a lot about his love of racing as opposed to Spies who allegedly turned down early Moto GP offers and Hayes who wouldn't come...

The 800cc bike was obviously built for Pedrosa, but insiders say Hayden didn't ride the new 800cc bike on the Monday after the Japanese GP of 2006 when it came out for the first time, the American instead preferring to concentrate on his championship push. They say it was a major...
Well I thought i'd bite the bullet and post my first debate. and the post below in the 'Will Hayden win for Ducati?' got me asking.
<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.
In...
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.
Ducati's technical director Filippo Preziosi believes the team has made 'the right choice' by signing Nicky Hayden after the American completed a successful first test for the team at Valencia this week.
Hayden, who was fastest of all on the wet second day of the shortened test at the Spanish...

I hear the interview on Eurosport, and Wayne was pretty damning of Nicky on a couple of occasions not just on this comment.....
What does Gardner know anyway right?
less points than mental unstable gibernau have in his runner up's seasons
3 less victory than rossi who rode lesser bike
apart from fact that rossi hawe slower bike in 2006 his yamaha that year is synonym for unreliability. from the other side hayden's rc211v have perfect reliability
Coming close to the end of the season one of the biggest questions out there is, will Hayden get on with the Ducati. This has been debated through and through so I thought that I would start a simple poll. I know there are a thousand factors to consider and feel free to add them to the thread...
By salvage I mean reach the top 5.
Current standings:
5. Dovizioso - 129
6. Vermeulen - 117
7. Edwards - 109
8. Hayden - 104
Hayden is now on better equipment than the 3 guys ahead of him.
Can he beat Vermeulen by 14 and Dovi by 26 in the next 4 rounds.
It actually seems doable.

seems its just the announcment to make it all official...
also, he is quite outspoken about HRC and pedrosa. shows us all just how pissed he is at honda with the poison pig and his finger puppet.
at least he's outta there and into a much...
