[kelsodeez]

hayden to wsbk w/ ten kate honda next year

 

[Map8]

Glad thats resolved. Hope Ten Kate has something up their sleeves for that bike.

Gracious comments from Rossi about Hayden's championship.

 

[Map8]

I'm starting to get concerned about the Michelin tires for next year.

 

[DonJigweed]

Dani actually fits on the bike

 

[kevin 714]

Welp Hayden's got a big hill to climb.

Nicky should have called Checa to ask him how the CBR treats MotoGP exiles. its still the same bike after all and Checa had a great time with it

Sure the bike is old but didn't one of these online mags say Honda is gonna have a new CBR1000RR for 2017?

Going to be interesting seeing Hayden racing twice a day, looking forward to it.

How is this a big deal?

He grew up racing ten races a day or more. in his AMA Superbike years, he did a bunch of AMA Flat Track which included at least one heat and one main. He still trains relentlessly and has always had a reputation for putting in the most laps on test days. If anything, he's probably looking forward to it. These guys love to race. More racing is better.

i have zero faith in Honda that it will stack up the R1 or the new ZX. its always too little, too late with them.

How is this a big deal?

hes older. his wrist will never be the same. the bike is heavier (although it wont brake as hard). etc etc.

hes a worker, so IMO it wont be a big deal. but u never know.

 

[stangmx13]

is anyone else NOT surprised by Aleix's line?

 

[Chewpakabra]

Hayden will likely have a SBK career trajectory similar to Melandri's. It will take him a little while to get warmed up, but when he does - watch out. It will require an updated CBR or a team switch. Hayden on the new Yamaha would be awesome.

 

[RightCoastBias]

When Rossi takes the ship and Lorenzo gets a pay cut, will Lorenzo pull a Rossi, have a hissy fit and leave Yamaha?

It will be interesting, that's for sure. Nicky's not the kid he was 12 years ago. And as much as I like him, he's never been a top world class rider. I rode with him at trackday 11 years ago, and I easily kept up with him in the hot pits on the outlap.

One can only hope.

 

[squidworth]

Haha you beat me to it!

[stangmx13]

just as a reminder, GP's FP1 starts TONIGHT at 5:55pm.

Sounds like you're ready for WSBK, Ernie!
