Hayden out after 2013

jeese that was effin funny Dave! Nicky with all his experience has got to be one of the best development riders in the world. Pair him on the Suzy with a good crew and enjoy!

 

Y'all might see him in flattrack for a bit.
I'm just guessing of course.

 

I clearly remember that moment at Laguna. Valentino was walking around with his shoulders slumped looking completely defeated. I was certain right then that Valentino would leave Ducati. It was cool beans when Nicky offered him a ride back and they two upped to the pits, Nick kind of put out his hand like "you coming or what?"

I'm sure when Valentino and Nicky talk today the conversation is something like "Eeeeeh uh Nick, why you still ridea that piece of sheeet?"

 

Had one

 

Nicky will be much better off riding a different bike, Ducati's are friggin terrible.

 

This has certainly proven to be the case in the past, but I'm not sure it's going to be the case in the future now that Audi owns Ducati. But even with that uncertainty, I agree it's probably Nicky's best path forward.

 

Nicky & Ben to suzuki 2015! Pepsi backed!

 

Mountain Dew. One of the Original energy drinks. :up:

The odds of cigs getting back in are worse than the odds of me getting a MotoGP tryout.

The smokes could come back if they wanted to. There's ways around the ban (look at marlboro).

 

Fuck it. We have porn now with Laverty and others. It's the new tobacco.

I'm surprised that booze hasn't rushed in.

 

Nicky needs a smaller cap...

 

Incorrect.

 

To me what makes a lot of sense is Hayden on an Aprilia in WSBK. Aprilia really needs something here in the US to boost their profile. Nicky is a consumate professional and a great brand ambasador. Win win for both!

 

So this info is out of date? Or were they misinformed to begin with?

"Did you know that Arai does not pay sponsorship to professional racers? It simply provides a few free helmets each year (typically no more than six) to prominent racers who seek support. Foregoing huge amounts of sponsorship money, racers such as three-time F1 champ Sebastian Vettel choose to wear Arai. Not much more needs to be said."

 

Is another possible world championship in a lower tier class really THAT bad? And its pretty much the first step down down from MotoGP. Certainly most decent GP riders that stepped down have a pretty good history of doing well.

All left the GPs to go on and win the WSBK title......

Kocinski
Corser
Bayliss
Biaggi
Checa

 

Nectar of the Tards.

 

Jolt Cola could maybe sponsor........or even better HYPHY MUD!!!!

 

I think he should approach Brazzers.



...don't act like you don't know what Brazzers is.
