"I would like Nicky in return." What a joke. Does Monitron understand that Nicky's contract is to expire at the end of this season so ultimately the decision will be Nicky's and not HRC's? That team has been the most mismanaged team Honda has fielded since they came to MotoGP. Ruining a bright career in Makoto Tamada and nearly doing the same to Nakano. Nicky will be on a Ducati in 2009.

i was of the opinion that hayden would be staying put with HRC, but his showing at Assen, may have hastened his departure. another strong showing on the pneumie and he's a goner. (which I'm slowly getting on board with)
Very interesting,, He and Stoner on the same bike against the competition -------------------- should of had the ex-wife killed, woulda been cheaper

-------------------- Jerry Burgess: "Valentino moved through the field in Barcelona and everyone that he passed got a riding lesson."
"I think that if Casey had raced in the '80s and '90s with Kevin Schwantz, Wayne Rainey and Mick Doohan, he'd have seen that every weekend," the Australian told the official MotoGP website. "It was probably something that he wasn't particularly expecting; [he] probably expected to win the race easily like he'd dominated in the practices." "Pedrosa put up so little a fight it would have embarrassed a Frenchman" |

I think he's trying to say Hayden's stock will go up and better offers will be made to him?

I am no fan of HRC but seriously, if they thought Hayden could get 2nd in the WC next year on their bike (obviously not first, that's for their chosen one, Pedro) then they'd keep him. |

Maybe he could fo fine with a Ducati. His driving style is quite unique, isn't it? Maybe it'd work with Ducati like it works for Stoner?
